Booking our flight home. What time can we get a shuttle back to the airport after we get off the ship?

Return vans run from the port and island hotels 8 AM to 5 PM. Most cruise lines have everyone off by mid-morning, so pick a departure that leaves comfortable margin for your flight, and do not book a tight departing flight. A late ship arrival is covered by protection. See the return route and schedule.

Do not book a flight before about 1 PM out of IAH. Between the walk-off and the drive back, it is tight.
