LSibiglia Posted May 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hello! We will be docking and deporting on July 6 from the Diamond Princess. Our boat docks at 7:30am and our plane departs at 7:55pm. We want to do the hop on/off trolley. Where do we store our luggage? We have Princess transportation, do they take our luggage? Or will we have to pay to have it stored? If so how much is that? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted May 30, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It has been reported in these threads that Princess is offering a luggage transfer service to YVR this year but best you check with Princess or your TA to confirm this. Failing that you have a couple of options: check your luggage with Priority Baggage Services at Canada Place who for a fee will transfer your luggage out to their location at YVR...this will only work for flights after 6pm. take your luggage to a near by hotel and give the bell desk a nice tip to put your luggage in their lock up then claim it when your are scheduled to go out to YVR.

1964pilot Posted June 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have also been looking for advise of how to handle luggage in Vancouver. I was told by Princess that they will have no service from the ship to the airport. I like your advise. Anyone else can feel free to give both of us another idea. We will be arriving in Vancouver on the Sapphire Princess on July 27th and leaving for LAX that evening so we are planning on walking around the city.

I wouldn't panic just yet I have been reading on the Princess thread that Princess may in fact be doing this again after an absence of a couple of years....what I am saying you can wait until you get on the ship then find out for sure...call center people I never trust. The link that Mapleleaves has provided says it is for CDS Baggage services which is the same people as Priority Luggage Services and when you click on it it goes to Priority's site.

LSibiglia Posted June 7, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Well as I don't trust the Princess Rep I spoke with only because he couldn't answer other immediate questions, once on board I will make sure they are not offering transport to YVR. Although this is what I have found so far.... Walk off Ship...go to the right...Find Priority Baggage, $7 dollars to store large bag per bag, and $6 for small bags. For all day use. Or you can use CDS and it is $40 for up to 4 bags and they transport to airport although you will need to get them at airport to check in. If you do either route you can use the Vancouver Skytrain to transport you to the airport for about $4 a person... If anyone knows anything else please let us know!

Putterdude Posted June 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You have pretty much got it taped except CDS and Priority are the same people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSibiglia Posted June 7, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yes, they are the same company except Priority Baggage will not take your luggage to the airport for you only CDS will... As that is what the person from their company told me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms204 Posted June 7, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Does anyone know how late you can get them from the airport if you have them transferred there? Our flight does not leave until after 10:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted June 7, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 7, 2013 They are open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm but operate at YVR as CDS Baggage Service and have 2 locations one in the domestic area of the terminal and the international area of the terminal.
