jessybell Posted May 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can anyone advise whether you can put luggage on ship at Southampton even though you are joining ship in Brisbane. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the english lady Posted May 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think you will be able to as I am sure others have posted on here about doing similar. I am not sure if there is a charge or not. Just read the help pages, looks like cost is £35 per case. Best bet is to ring p and o direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyloo22 Posted May 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yes you can friends of ours did this a few years aga. Not sure of the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted May 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yes you can. We did it this year on Aurora. They give you a date and time slot for delivery to the cruise terminal. It will be two or three days before your ship sails when there are no ships in. The cost is £35 per case. You can either deliver it yourself or arrange collection through the baggage handling company at extra cost. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset Cruiser Posted May 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2015 We left case on the ship in Hong Kong in March £35 and picked it up when ship docked in Southampton. Our tablemates had cases put on in Southampton and joined ship with us in Sydney. So the answer is yes you can for a fee.

Dorset Cruiser Posted May 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Its a great service and well worth the fee. Much better than hauling suitcases to the airports. We packed all our formal cruise gear, including three of DH's suits, and all the 'summer' stuff we would not need for a few months. Got to Southampton on the appointed day but arrived just a couple of hours before deadline (there were 2 other cases left from our ship) so the pickup took literally a minute or two. They are really well organised 😄 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodsailors Posted May 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This sounds a great idea but just a thought, if you put the cases on at Southampton and you don't join the ship until, say, Sydney, are the clothes not all badly creased? No problem leaving luggage on at Sydney while you fly home then pick up the cases again at Southampton creases wouldn't matter. Just wonder if anyone can say what their experiences are.

Never done it on an outward journey like that but lots of people do. There are irons in the launderette and we discovered that on world cruises/sectors, your steward will bring an iron and ironing board to your cabin 😄 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
