If you plan on flying to Fort Lauderdale on March 6th^th, the day we sail, you should take the earliest, most direct flight you can. We suggest you plan to arrive at the Fort Lauderdale pier at around noon so that you can board the ship and have your lunch. No boarding is permitted after 3:30 p.m. and the ship sails at 5:00 p.m. Please be aware that we do not offer pre-paid airport transfers. Details on the best way to get from the airport to the pier are provided in the Transfers section of this site.

For you return flight on March 13th^th, you should not book a morning flight. The ship docks very early in the morning but must clear customs before passenger disembarkation starts. In order to save yourself worry, it is best to book a flight departing from noon on.
