rs45thompson Posted January 4 #1 Share Posted January 4 We are on the Symphony of the Seas on November 20, 2021. I was getting ready to book a return flight from Miami to Atlanta at 10:15 am. Is this doable? Link to post Share on other sites
twangster Posted January 4 #2 Share Posted January 4 Sure, it's doable, but not wise. I'd suggest self assist debarking, Uber or Lyft and hope for the best. On a perfect day with no delays it's doable but if one thing goes wrong you'll be trying to get on a later flight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
h20skibum Posted January 4 #3 Share Posted January 4 I wouldn’t trust any past experiences with making flights, until cruising has resumed and we know what kind of delays there may be in disembarking. 13 Link to post Share on other sites

smokeybandit Posted January 4 #5 Share Posted January 4 Agreed. Disembarking might take on a whole new flavor. I've got a March cruise, and while I assume it'll be canceled, I haven't booked my return flight yet not knowing what time I'd reasonable be off the ship in this new era.

jsf Posted January 4 #7 Share Posted January 4 (edited) I think that is cutting it very close, should be plenty of flights from MIA to ATL, I'd choose a later one. Edited January 4 by jsf Link to post Share on other sites
rs45thompson Posted January 4 Author #8 Share Posted January 4 Thanks, I'll book a later flight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
WeMissSeaView Posted January 4 #9 Share Posted January 4 I agree. We need to find out what the new normal will be for getting off of the ship to go home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Great advise water ski bum, the ports may have a staggered schedule, PLUS, the airports are not crowded now, but if there are several ships in port that day, the airport scene may also be more staggered, perhaps it could take a little longer to navigate to your gate.

vswan Posted January 5 #11 Share Posted January 5 At one time there was talk about having all returning passengers needing to take and have a negative covid test. Who knows what the debarking process may be like. Wouldn't book any return flight that can't be changed at this point. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mapleleafforever Posted January 5 #12 Share Posted January 5 As of right now no one even knows just how long it will take to disembark or even if we'll be able to fly home same day. Link to post Share on other sites

If I can't get home the same day then I won't be cruising. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smokeybandit Posted January 5 #16 Share Posted January 5 People will still be able to fly home the same day. But will we be begin disembarkation at 7am or noon? At least for the first few months of cruising. Link to post Share on other sites
deliver42 Posted January 5 #17 Share Posted January 5 I wouldn't book a flight before noon. Link to post Share on other sites

I was getting ready to book a return flight from Miami to Atlanta at 10:15 am. Is this doable? Here’s the timeline from our Symphony voyage for our 10:30 flight. I would take a regular, waiting taxi vs waiting and finding an Uber in the disembarkation chaos. Disembarkation Notes: 5:30 Breakfast at Windjammers 6:50 Left Stateroom for the last time 7:03 Swipe off the Ship 7:09 Down the gangway, through the terminal, down stairs, through the baggage hall and at the entrance to Customs 7:16 In a taxi to the airport 7:30 At MIA Link to post Share on other sites
