Shake Posted June 11, 2014 #26 Share Posted June 11, 2014 This is why you should have your luggage tags on your bags before arriving to the port. Regardless of which porters take them, they'll see the tags. STILL, the OP should ask to make sure before handing them off. So True. AND NEVER Stiff the Porters unless you want your bags to get on the RCCL boat. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisco333 Posted June 11, 2014 #27 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The tags look very much alike . They need to make them bright red for one ship and bright blue for the other or a big red x on one maybe? We tipped and bags still went to other ship. Happens every week we were told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to worry about your bags I would rather take them my self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, just tip them $5 and be happy. :D Edited June 11, 2014 by Shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballard67 Posted June 12, 2014 #30 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So I would just rather take my own luggage, if they think 5.00 is not enough? . If we can we will just handel our own luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people wouldn't just walk on to any plane and assume it's going to get them to their preferred destination. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tip the Porter a whole dollar a bag and forget about schlepping your own luggage to your room. No cruise line in the industry allows you to bring on your own luggage. As they say never hassle the cook who flips your hamburger. Same with porters. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted June 12, 2014 #34 Share Posted June 12, 2014 On the same cruise as you are, where can you pick up the Shuttle express or do they come to your hotel.

Hi,:) if you have regular checked bags? You can't take them yourself..... they won't fit through the scanner. Your carry on? That will be fine. Just make sure you give your luggage to the Celebrity porter and a buck a bag is fine (in my opinion anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
