Canada Cruiser Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 Hi guys, have a cruise booked next year and I'm in midst of booking flights. Wondering what is the earliest the Brow would open IOT catch an early flight. Spoke to RC & they could only say ship would be in by 7 am, would the Brow be open at this time? Any thoughts? cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 That 7am time is assuming that there are NO delays in getting the ship into the port. 7am is the time the ship scheduled to be in. If that holds up, it would still be at least a hour before disembarking starts. There are also other factors that could delay the gangway being open even after the ship docks. Booking a flight before noon, while possible, is playing a dangerous game. The only port that I would even attempt a pre-noon flight is Ft Lauderdale only because the post and airport are about a stone’s throw away from each other. If there are any delays and you book a super early flight, you aren’t going to receive any kind of priority or special treatment to get you off first. It’s not worth the headache to tempt it.

I agree. I never book flights before noon. You may dock at 7am but a number of things can change the actual debarking time for passengers.

Pattycruise Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I try to be guided by Air2sea when figuring out what time to book my flights. It is Royal’s flight booking company https://www.royalcaribbean.com/plan-a-cruise/transportation ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
