Sailed out of Tampa December 14th. The ship was late coming in when where leaving and then we where late coming in. We missed our 12:00 pm flight. If I where you I would make it later in the day to be safe. You never know with mother nature!

Yep, if everything went PERFECT, then you'd make that 11 A.M. flight with no problems. IMO, there are just too many variables in play, and unless you have no alternatives, I'd move that flight back to afternoon. We live about an hour from the port, we're Platinum, and we've sailed out of Tampa many, many times. We're almost always home by 10 or 11 A.M.,,,,but you did notice that ALMOST. It's your call, but I'd push it back a bit if it was me.
We sailed the Legend in November and for whatever reason it was almost 10AM before we got off the ship. They were late starting disembarkment and we were the last ones off. It didn't matter to us, we didn't have a flight and not in a hurry to go anywhere. A later flight sounds perfect.

Good choice IMO. If you see you're going to be very, very early, just stay aboard ship and have that extra cup of coffee before you disembark.
You're going to love "Legend". She's a GREAT cruise!
