Don't do it. You will not leave the cruise terminal until 8 or so. You would be cutting it too close.

Best bet is to book your flight late afternoon, you never know what unpredictable can occur.

Ever seen those cruisers who arrive from an excursion as the ship is departing?Picture yourself being one of those people as the plane is taxiing down the runway. You don't want to be one of those people.

Ever seen those cruisers who arrive back at the pier just in time to watch their ship's departure? You don't want to be one of those people when your plane is taxiing down the runway.

just because the shop arrives then it won't be cleared for disembarkation until later.

Sorry for the redundancy. Shipmate is going around in circles.

I will say best to get later flight, BUT. I have gotten off the ship, customs, and been inside airport past customs there before 8. then was able to get an earlier flight out on a plane that wasn't full. Got home four hours before our luggage. So in short, nook later and if you get to airport earlier, look for earlier flight once there.

Nope! They dock at 6:15. IF they get in on time. Usually don’t start disembarking passengers until seven or 7:30. Then you need to hope to be one of the hundreds of passengers allowed to get off early - assuming your carrying your own luggage off - then you stand in line to go thru customs. Then you’d have to hail a cab, get to the airport thru traffic, check-in, go through security etc. There’s just no way you’re ever gonna make a 9 AM flight

Not a chance i would take! saled out of there many times and seems we always are 715 or little later getting off due to customs.

Never book a flight before 1 pm since you may not get off the ship till 8 am. They can not release passengers until the ship clears Security, and then you have to go through customs.
