Port Miami to Miami Airport travel time.


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone it's been a long g time since I've cruised out od Miami. 

I cruise Feb. and going to book flight. Ship is suppose to dock at 8 a.m. not sure if I will have enough time to catch a 10 a.m. flight out of Miami  airport as that's only 2 hours from arrival to flight time.

Thanks for your help

@euroguy  I personally feel that is too short.  I would book something in the afternoon.  A couple of points here.  Ship scheduled to arrive at 8am and the actual time it docks are too different things.  If delayed at all (not that uncommon these days), you will be in trouble.  Also, remember, as you know from experience, when the ship docks and when the customs and port authority clear the ship and allow disembarkation, is time added to the equation.  Then of course, I assume you plan to walk off the ship with your luggage so you can be one of the first off.  But, that can still be tricky with logistics of elevators, etc.  Then what if the TSA lines in Miami are long?

I know, I'm working the worst case here.  But, the stress of trying to get that early flight would just not be worth it for me.  Just my two cents.

@RoadTravelled all your points are valid and I was thinking similarly. The one big reason I was even contemplating it was because the airport is so close to the port, 15 minute ride. 

I will probably do a noonish flight, will have a 4 hour layover which bites compared to a 1 hour layover on the 10a flight. 

Thanks for your input and being a great sounding board with a voice of reason 😆
