Cruising disembarkations are always rolls of the dice. My experience is that cruise ships -usually- roll into port early (the last cruise I took into FLL diverted to respond to a mayday call from a fishing boat causing a 3 hour diversion but nobody was going to complain about responding to a mayday call). But depending on your disembarkation group, it could be a while before you get off. The good thing is that a Sunday works in your favor. Provided you're off the ship by 9:30, you should be OK I would think.
