Are you sure that you are getting off the ship at 9:00 or is that just the posted docking time? If it is the posted docking time, you may not be getting off until a little later. The first time we made our own air arrangements, we assumed that a 9:00 docking time would leave us plenty of time to get to the airport. Well the ship docked a bit early, but we had to wait our turn to get off behind the prioriity folks. We also neglected to apply for priority debarking -- seems our brains went on vaction, too! So we got off at 9:45 and missed our flight --by only a few minutes--but we missed it. All turned out well, we got seats on the next flight--probably the seat of the folks who got ours on the earlier flight. But do check with the cruise line to see if that is docking time versus when you, personally, get off time.
