Reflection arrived early in Ft. Lauderdale and I was up in the Oceanview Café when it opened. It was crowded but we both found seats and had a reasonably unhurried breakfast.
We are trying to stay on the ship as long as we can because our flight doesn't leave until 3:06PM.
We wound up walking off at close to 9:00 AM and cleared immigration quickly. We hired a van to take us to the airport - $20 for the two of us (FLL is very close).
We checked in and checked our bags at the kiosk and headed through security (very quick) and to our gate. We still have several hours until our plane even shows up at the gate so we found a comfortable seat and waited.
We had lunch (thanks to some food gathered from the ship) along with chips and the obligatory diet coke. The food was tasty.
AA156 - a B737-800 arrived at the gate about 40 minutes before flight time.
The plane was turned around quickly and we boarded on time. We are in 8C/8C Cabin Extra Seats for this flight.
The flight home was smooth and our bags showed up in a reasonable amount of time.
A short cab ride home and our cruise was over.
It was an odd cruise - staying on the ship at so many ports - but the stops in Mexico were really nice.
