Is it possible/realistic to disembark from the Carnival Fascination to make a 9:35 AM flight at JAX? My other option is a 3:55 PM flight and I have to leave the ship by 11 AM. Should I just resign myself to hours reading in the airport?
JAX realistic time to get from port to airport

It really depends on when the ship actually docks. If the ship docks before dawn (or at least around 6, which is typical), you can probably disembark by 7 or 7:30 and easily make the flight as long as you carry your own luggage off the ship. But I have never cruised from there, so I'm not familiar with actual docking times. What time do your documents say that the first off-loading of passengers can take place? Did you ask Carnival?
If you don't get a satisfactory answer here, then post on Cruise Critic. Unfortunately, those forums are more active than ours and you would be more likely to get a quick response.
