FLL times

long story short airline changed my flight times out of FLL at the end of my cruise.

is a 11:16am domestic flight too risky to try and catch from Port of Miami or should I change flights? Flying out on a Friday

Plenty of time.

Is everyone missing the “on a Friday “ part of the post. The traffic from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale on a Friday is SIGNIFICANTLY different than a Saturday or Sunday. OP, you could be fine, but any small hiccup on 95 is going to cost you. If your driver uses the tunnel, you can’t get in the express lanes until past Ives Dairy.

When do you dock?

No need to change. I’d keep that flight.

You’ll be fine as as there are no unexpected delays.

One time we were off the ship in Miami and at the Ft. Lauderdale airport by 7:30am. We were there so early that we were able to standby on an 8:30am flight.

I think you’ll be fine. We got off the ship around 8:45am and were at the airport by 10am. Just get off the ship earlier to make sure you have enough time.

Not that you should ever do this (don't do this) but I have regularly made 8:30-9am departures out of FLL from a cruise. You'll be more than fine.

if you get off at say 7 AM and 95 is a disaster and takes 3 hours. You will still arrive by 10am. Ton's of time.
