Marylandcruiser89 Posted February 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2023 We are going to be flying home out of Ft Lauderdale airport and I'm trying to estimate a good time to book a flight. We are supposed to be back in Miami around 6:30 am Saturday morning. How long does it take to get off the ship? Can you carry you own luggage off and leave earlier like you can on Royal Caribbean? Any information would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted February 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Yes you can carry it off on your own as soon as customs clears the ship. If you have an early flight do not put your luggage out at night before. Carry it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylandcruiser89 Posted February 10, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Good to know. We haven't booked the flight yet. I'm still trying to figure out getting back and forth to Ft Lauderdale airport, where to stay the night before the cruise and all of that stuff. I'm probably not going to book the flight until 1 or 2pm that day. I guess we can just Uber up there if I can't find a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CineGraphic Posted February 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Thanks to the new Brightline Trains, you can also consider flying out of Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach if they have better fares. For our cruise later this month, we're flying into FLL, and back home via PBI. There was a considerable price difference, and we like to spoil ourselves one last time by booking first-class. With the Brightline app, you can pre-book a car to meet you at the cruise port to take you to the Miami station. www.GoBrightline.com Edited February 10, 2023 by CineGraphic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
