Just did this but with an earlier flight. Our flight left at 10:10. Our port was port Everglades and we flew out of ft lauderdale. Self assist left the ship at 7:30 and we were in the airport just after 8:20 I believe. We would definitely do it again.

Did your itinerary said disembarkation was at 8am as well?

Thanks everyone! We are planning to self assist, the kids are 7 and 9, i do not think they will have a problem, and we can handle the luggage ourselves.

Carry your luggage off and you should have NO problem.

That's the plan. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply! I'd much rather not stress, but taking the later flight would put us home around 2-3am, and with 2 kids, I'd rather avoid it :) I guess, I am going to book the flight and we'll deal with whatever happens. Hopefully it will all work out. Just looking forward to our first cruise with the kids, curious to find out if they are going to like it, we've been doing resorts before, so this will be something different.

We are at Port Everglades. I was trying to see, if anyone has done this cruise, what time they actually start disembarkation.

We'll be taking a 6 day Western Carribean Carnival cruise in November (11/8-14). The ship docks at 8 and there's a flight out of FLL that leaves at 11:05. I have been checking to see if I could purchase FTTF, but no luck Any ideas if we'd be able to make that flight?

Back on 11/14.

We'll be back on a Saturday, I have not yet checked how many other ships will be there.

The OP states that the ship docks at 8:00, which is later than usual for most returning ships (don't they usually dock at around 6:00)? If that is indeed the case,will they still be able to make that flight by doing early walk-off with their luggage?

According to Carnival we will be docking at 8am in Port Everglades. Thanks to everyone that replied! I guess I'll book the earlier flight and try to be the first ones off the ship with our suitcases :)

Assuming your ship docks in Ft Lauderdale, you will make the flight by carrying your luggage off at the earliest possible time, and catching a cab.

 

 

Sounds like you have booked the flight. What if we told you that you couldn't catch the flight?

No, I have not booked it yet, but will have to this weekend. There's another fright that night that leaves around 8pm, and I'd prefer to catch the earlier one, but if there's no way we will book the other one.
