Flight home from Port Everglades Question

We are arriving back to Port Everglades off of the Millenium on Sun. April 11. Flight home choices are 2:50 p.m. from Ft. Lauderdale or 12:40 p.m from W. Palm Beach. If the extra cab fare to West Palm isn't an issue for us is a good option to fly home over 2 hours sooner from there? Is it realistic time wise to make a 12:40 flight from West Palm coming off of a Celebrity ship. We are going Concierge class and are Captains' Club which means we should be able to get priority disembarkation.

We were on the Millie last week. The earlier the flight the sooner you get off. Those with flights before noon were off by 945AM. Concierge were off by 900AM. Its about 45/50 minutes to West Palm. You probably would have no problem getting there.

It's about 40 miles to the Airport at West palm Beach. If you have someone driving that knows the areea you shud have no problems if you get off in time.

The operative phrase is "if you get off in time". I wouldn't chance it, you never know what time you'll get off the ship.

I must agreee withcongestion nightmare. We could not get off ship really early and there were tremdous delays in the luggage terminal and getting airport transportation. The traffic jam was something I have never experienced in any port before. Once you get off ship and go to the airport you can just relax. What's a couple of hours to have to relax after a great cruise.

Thanks everyone for your input...we'll stick with our mid afternoon flight out of Ft. Lauderdale...seems like the effort to get home 2 hours earlier by flying from West Palm is worth neither the cost nor the stress.
