Hi! Leaving on Saturday and getting nervous!!! :worried (A good nervous! :lol)

We should get to Ft. Lauderdale Airport by 10 a.m., ship departs at 5 p.m. from Port Everglades.

What do we until boarding time? Can we just go directly to the ship and wait there? Is there anything to do while waiting? Shops, coffee? What time does boarding usually start? We have to take a taxi from the airport to the port (no transfers). Are the taxis readily available? How far will the ride be? Sorry for all the questions :dizzy, but I'm getting excited!! :jump
Linda :)

enjoy your short countdown :cheers

you should head directly to the pier; after picking up luggage, etc., and catching a cab, you should be making headway by 11 am

boarding process typically starts around noon

I agree, go right to the ship. You will likely be on before 12. Find your room, leave your carry on there and head up to the lunch buffet. Eat and eat some more. Then start getting used to the ship, afterwards head up to to the top deck and have your first cocktail. I can taste it now.

Have a great trip.

You can pick up a taxi right outside the baggage claim area, there will be plenty to choose from. Then go straight to the ship and get in line. You will be able to board approx 11:30 give or take it depends on how fast they got the last passengers off and if there are a lot of weddings that day onboard because the wedding groups board first.That is usually the time we have boarded, then you can drop off your carry on in your cabin. They may say your cabin isn't ready, but it might be and if it isn't you can still put your carry on in the cabin. Then go explore the ship, have lunch in the Windjammer, take a swim in the pool, or sit in the hot tub and ENJOY...... :dance :dance
