thecruisers723 Posted November 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We are booked on the Carnival Legend this coming May to Alaska. The ship is scheduled to dock at 7AM. Our flight was originally scheduled to leave SEA at 10:55. We just received notice that the flight has been changed to a 10:10 departure. Thoughts?

SadieN Posted November 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Might just make it if you're the VERY first off and doing self assist debark. Just because the ship is scheduled to dock at 7 doesn't mean that you can get off the ship at 7. SEA is 30 minutes away from the pier. Should be able to change your flight for no charge because they changed the schedule. Edited November 27, 2014 by SadieN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted November 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I was under the impression that the recommended earliest flight time for SEA departures was noon. I wouldn't have booked a 10:55 in the first place, 10:10 is way to early. See if you can get a later flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If disembarkation starts late or you encounter traffic, even being in the first group off the ship (which you can't count on getting), you risk missing the flight. I would definitely demand a new flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Our last cruise out of Seattle there was a 45 minute wait for taxis plus the 30+ minute ride through rush hour traffic to the airport -- book something after noon. Do you want to spend your cruise worried about making your flight home? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted November 27, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Seattle traffic can be clogged, and security lines at SEATAC can be long. I would definitely have that 10:10 AM flight switched to one departing after noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubfan63 Posted November 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2014 You would have a better chance on a weekend day. Since it's Carnival, it will be during the week, so you will be dealing with workday traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted November 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Agree with the others, too early. SEATAC has some of the longest security lines of any airport we've ever been through. Please change our flight so you won't spend the entire cruise worrying about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Don't consider it. Call the airline and ask to be moved to a later flight. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted December 12, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Too risky. If the ship is delayed, you will never make it. Have the airline move you to a later flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
