12thman Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Has anyone had their luggage lost/misdirected using RCCL's luggage valet? I'm just concerned that my bags sitting at the airport for 8 to 10 hours won't make it home with me. Maybe my bags will get an awesome trip somewhere without me!?

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 No. Luggage valet is awesome. It's the best service, for the money, that RC offers, IMO. Royal Caribbean did lose one of our suitcases on disembarkation out of Galveston but it had nothing to do with Luggage Valet. tiny260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Love Luggage Valet. When I fly Delta I get notifications in the app when bags are loaded on the plane. That still works the same with LV. tiny260 and HawkeyeFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only offered at FLL, and flight have to meet a certain criteria, but if you are this might solve your other question about printing luggage tags. Also love it, great service.

WAAAYTOOO Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Isn't LV also available in Miami and Port Canaveral ? I thought it was at all of the "big 3" Florida ports + Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably wrong, it would make sense to be at the big three. OK, my brain cells are kicking in, I kept bring this up to Charlie (Our Genie) and there was no LV for Port of Miami, flying out of Miami. Definitely not sure of MCO.

LV collects you bags the night before you debark. You never have to touch your bags again until you reach the luggage carrousel at your destination airport. LV only works departing the ship, not on your way to the ship before the cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 No app for LV. In Grand Suites and above the $25 fee is waived. Normal luggage fees your airline charges still apply. Here is an example of LV letter in Miami. NV MIA Valet Luggage.pdf An older form from Ft. Lauderdale: They print your luggage tags for you, you apply them to your bags and place your bags out in the hall the night before you debark: Daisimae, tiny260 and 12thman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeFan Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 We used the Luggage Valet for 8 people and 8 suitcases. It was awesome. We were in a Grand Suite so we did not have to pay the $25 fee. We were on the Harmony and disembarked on Sunday 4/7/19. We were on Delta and left FLL at 11:55. When we got to the airport with just carryon backpacks and one small pull carryon, we would have gladly paid $50 or more each after seeing the check-in line in the Delta terminal 2. We arrived about 9:00 am and the baggage check-in wound back and forth many times AND there was a line against the wall that went to the other end of the terminal and outside. You had to get thru that line before even getting to the roped area. I have no idea how long it would take to get thru that. We had 3 grandchildren aged 9, 8 and 6 and I cannot imagine how impatient they would be standing in line for that long. The security line at that time was not bad at all. TSA precheck was about 5 minutes to get thru and the regular line took maybe 15 minutes. We had a flight thru ATL and then on to our final destination. No problem. All bags arrived, but it was great to have the baggage notification on my Delta app. SpeedNoodles, twangster and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
