Arrival timing is the real transfer constraint
Most airport plans look simple until flight timing, baggage claim, or late arrivals stretch the first transfer more than expected. Travelers usually do not break the trip on the attraction side first. They break it by assuming the airport exit will be faster and cleaner than it really is.
That is why airport routing works best when the first transfer decision is solved before the rest of the day is stacked on top of it.
Plan arrival in this order
1. When you land
2. How you are getting to the city, hotel, or port
3. Then what you are doing after arrival

Common airport questions
Why would a traveler use FLL instead of MIA for a Miami cruise?
Usually for airfare, hotel, or airline preference, but the traveler still needs to account for the longer ground leg into the PortMiami side of the trip.
Is FLL a direct substitute for MIA in DCC planning?
Not exactly. It is an alternative arrival strategy with different transfer and hotel tradeoffs.
What does DCC want a traveler to compare here?
Compare the total arrival path, not just flight price: airport choice, hotel position, and transfer timing all matter.
