Eyeonhevn Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I’m not sure this is new but it wasn’t offered last time I sailed symphony. You can sign up and have symphony pick up your luggage and transport to the airport for you. we have a debarkation transfer to airport. We pay additional 29$ pp for this luggage service. we give them our flight information. They give us luggage tags (we pay royal for those fees too) and the night before debarkation they pick up luggage and the next time we see it is on the bag carousel once we land back at home. i know it’s not for everyone, but will fill a big need for some in our group whose flight leaves late in day - and would be dragging and babysitting suitcases.

TXcruzer Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 It is called luggage valet and its not really new. It was a service offered on many ships from many ports. The service was a victim of the pandemic, but there have been reports of it making a resurgence in recent weeks. Its a very convenient offering, we took advantage of it often in the past.

Ampurp85 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I belive it is free in Alaska sailings. But definitely convenient, especially if they canceled a disembarkation excursion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Luggage Valet was an awesome service when it was complimentary for suites. We always used it when we were still flying to cruises. I think it's probably still a good service, but unfortunately, not complimentary for suites any longer, Alaska notwithstanding. If I were flying, I would probably still pay for it.

PatsFanBrian Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 This was offered on my Odyssey sailing last week, first time I ever recall it being offered. The big caveat is that your flight must be after 11AM (ours was exactly at 11AM), otherwise I may have considered it, especially since we were self-assisting and it can be challenging with multiple large suitcases.

Baked Alaska Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Disney offers this, or used to, however Southwest was not one of the airlines they partnered with so we could never use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can ask at Guest Services or you can ask your TA to add an airport transfer to the second leg of your cruise. Out of Port of Miami they will offer shuttles to both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale airports. I have never used them, so I can't say what the cost would be but usually if there's more than one person involved, it's cheaper and more time efficient to get an Uber/Lyft after the cruise. monctonguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
