Sounds like a good idea.

Ft. Lauderdale can be a bear. I remember one time: 15 minutes from our hotel to the port gate, and from there THREE HOURS to the ship. We could see it the whole time. It has been nearly two years since we took our last cruise but as I recall all the ships leave port at approximately the same time (5:00 PM or so) so "nuts" is a mild way of putting it.

I'd advise leaving yourself plenty of time.
