Question
carnival arrives @0800am on sunday (fathers day) will i make my flight @ 1220 out of MIA airport? there is a $200 charge if i miss it.. what do you think???

Answer
Lorraine,

You should make the flight, but there are some things I suggest you do to insure an early departure.

Sometime within the first 2 days on the ship, go to the Pursers office WITH your flight ticket in hand.  Ask if you can receive an early departure.  Make sure you write a note so you know who you spoke with.  Be SURE to go to the debarkation talk and listen carefully to them when they speak about which colors leave the ship first.  Then make sure YOU have that color tag.  (Tags will be left in your room the afternoon before you arrive back in Miami)

This should insure you make it on time.  Enjoy your cruise.
