mamichelle Posted February 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We will get off the Oasis early in the a.m. but our flight home isn't until 7:30 p.m. (that's all we could get). What do we do with luggage for the day? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other option is rent a car for the day and put your luggage in the trunk. Or do a post cruise excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWORK2CRUISE Posted February 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Renting a car for the day in FL is pretty inexpensive. We have done it for less than the cost of airport transfers for 2, and done whatever we wanted for the day. Most of the rental agencies have port transfers.

Cruisin Dave Posted February 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2013 There is a car rental agency not far from the port, across from the HI Express. You can also check to see if any hotels have a day room for rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinDawn Posted February 5, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Use the luggage valet and consider an Everglades excursion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you do the Everglades excursion through the cruise line you don't have to valet your luggage. They put it under the bus until they drop you off at the airport. We sure enjoyed doing this excursion when we had a later flight once. BonVoyage Dawna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted February 5, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2013 With the excursion don't they drop you off at the airport around 2:30 pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macruisefan Posted February 5, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm curious. Where is home that you can't get a flight before 7:30pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 5, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2013 With the excursion don't they drop you off at the airport around 2:30 pm? Yes, that was the case with us when we took the San Juan tour excursion. They also took us to lunch, which was not included in the excursion price.

1cat4jan Posted February 5, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2013 In San Juan, we took a ship sponsored tour. The cruiseline took care of getting the luggage to the airport. That worked very well. I would recommend that over renting a car because unless you know where you are going, driving around to try and find something to do can be tedious. However, having your own car has it's advantages. Realize that if there are four of you with lots of luggage, unless you rent a van or SUV, you will not have room for all your luggage in a regular rental car. Never tried the valet service, but that seems like a very good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamichelle Posted February 5, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We are flying back to Manchester, NH and a lot of the flights are sold out. It's close to school vacation week so a lot of families travel during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamichelle Posted February 5, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm curious. Where is home that you can't get a flight before 7:30pm? Just saw that you are from MA. I work in Lowell, MA and live in Southern NH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamichelle Posted February 5, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thank you, everyone! Dawna, the Everglades excursion sounds like the best option for us. I am traveling with three other adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's close to school vacation week so a lot of families travel during that time. I'd check flights into Boston. I'd also check flights out of Miami. There are even a lot of non-stop options that are going to get you home sooner than that. I'm not sure how much money I'd have to save to make the journey home that long...
