jenmsherm Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 How long does it take to get off a ship, generally? Is a 9:19am flight out of MIA too early? I’m hearing conflicting things from people… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I think that's too early. If your flight leaves at 9:19, you'll want to be at the airport at least (at LEAST) an hour before boarding. Miami is not an efficient airport (i.e. it really sucks). In my opinion, if there's any delay getting people off of the ship, you'll run it too tight. VirtKitty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyandBo Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Way too early! Most flights require you be at the gate 45 min to an hour in advance. Plus security, plus travel traffic etc. Just too early. VirtKitty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 It's way too early. If your ship gets in on time, 6/7am, they may not clear until an hour later. Boarding starts 30min before takeoff and that doesn't include baggage check and going through TSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellingtannis Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 And as @SpeedNoodlessaid, the airport security lines are brutal and disorganized, we were there as early as possible after our last cruise and it took 2 hours just to crawl through security...luckily we had an early afternoon flight, we barely made it even for that!

jenmsherm Posted February 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Oh man, thank you all for this. 2.5 hour phone call with AMEX travel and a hefty af credit card charge later, we’re rebooked for the afternoon WAYNO and VirtKitty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
