Disembarkation for self asst & lug express

[PegNRay]

Doing the Miracle in March. Do self assist and luggage express passengers disembark at the same time? We have an 11:30 flight.

 

Thanks!

We always do self assist, and they were always called off first. We have been at the airport before 8am.

Self assist is the best thing Carnival could have ever done. For those of us that don't bring the house with us, its quick, painless and easy.

We did self assist last week and were off the Miracle by 8:30. There were some issues with the card reader exiting the ship that slowed things down a little.

I would not worry about it. You can do regular disembarkation, be the last off the ship and make that flight unless the ship arrives late into FLL.

Out of FLL I have never taken self assist. We put the luggage out the night before- ask for early off luggage tags from the pursers desk and get off with the first wave of people. We have always arrived with plenty of time to get our 11:30 flight.

 

We eat breakfast in the dining room for a more relaxing, quieter dining experience before the stress of getting off the ship.

 

 

FLL is one of the airports that will not let you check your luggage until 3 hours before your flight--

When we did luggage express in Miami we were told to meet in the theater and were escorted off in a separate group straight to customs.

When I did Express Luggage in MIA we were given regular zone numbers to debark the ship.

 

So to answer your question, no self assist and express luggage do not debark at the same time.

 

If FLL doesn't allow you to check your luggage until 3 hours before departure time are you sure that Express Luggage is even an option for you?

 

I'd like to know because I'll be there in early March and even though I have a late afternoon flight, I don't want to have to lug my stuff around with me all day.

 

Edit: It just occurred to me that when I did EL my flight time had to be after 12:30 or 1.
