Booked on the June 29th ft. lauderdale florida Western Carb. What is the earliest flight time I should book to go back home.

I wouldn't book earlier than 12-1:00. Most times you get off the ship in time for an earlier flight, but once we were held up by customs and didn't get off the ship until after 10:30. With the new security procedures and the war (who know's how long that will last), I wouldn't want to book too early and risk missing the flight.

I agree with Kathy, I would definitely book a flight to leave 1:00 p.m. or later. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!

I have have taken an 1150 AM off the Golden and Grand within the last year and still was checked in an hour before the flight.

I would not book anything earlier than 11:00 for sure...and even that is pushing it if some idiots don't report for immigration and the ship is not cleared, or the Coast Guard decides to spring a surprise inspection (been there, done that!)

I agree with the others, nothing before 11:00 am and that would still make me nervous. Was on the Grand over Thanksgiving 2001 and because someone hadn't reported for Immigration, the ship didn't start to disembark until 10:15 am.

The crew was very efficient in getting everyone off the ship. We stayed an extra day in FLL, and were in our hotel room by 10:15. Still, expect long lines at the airport since there will be five or six other ships hitting Port Everglades at the same time.

Our flight was at 12:15 and we were one of the last numbers/colors to be called off the ship. We had just enough time to get through the lines at FLL. Now, if we would have been on an airline with some of those god awful lines, we would not have made it. But then again, we could have requested to leave the ship ealier. If it were me, between the times of 11:30 and Noon would be the soonest I would book. But again, that would also depend on the airline we were flying with.
Best of Luck!
