Luggage Valet is Awesome!

lmares1968 · January 22, 2016

My husband and I recently used this service while on our Oasis of the Seas Cruise. It's $20 per bag + whatever baggage fees your airline charges.

We signed up for it on the television in our room or you can go to Guest Services and sign up for it. On the last day of our cruise we received an envelope with our printed boarding passes and tags for our luggage, which we put out in the hallway at night.

Because we didn't have luggage to contend with at port, we were able to get off the ship at 8:00. We were off the ship and through customs by 8:30.

This service is especially nice if you have some time to kill in port before catching your flight.

Many of us agree with you and have used the service many times. Too bad it isn't offered at every port.

20 per bag? I thought it was 20 per person. That could add up fast. Maybe I will second guess trying it.

How does this work if your airline charges bag fees? I've only used valet when we flew southwest with free bag check.

I've used it twice and it was $20 per person, not per bag unless something has changed.

Thanks 20 per person would be worth it. If thats still the case..... i'm in.

It is 20.00 per person, however your airlines baggage fees (if applicable) are added to that as well.

It is a great program especially if you have a late flight and are doing something else before the airport so you don't have to carry luggage around all day.

The valet service is complimentary for suite guests

Like the others, we really like luggage valet and use it when we can. We try to time our flights that make that possible.

I'm not sure though of what happens to the luggage after it leave the ships. I imagine there is a service that does this for RCI. On our last cruise ending in November on the Oasis we used the service. When we arrived in BWI one of our luggage pieces arrived, one did not. The remaining piece arrived 3 hours later on another flight. Lots of things went thru our minds at that time that hadn't before.

Who would we have contacted should we never received our luggage? Who was responsible for it, the airline didn't seem to know or care about since we hadn't checked it in with them. We had no paperwork. We met 4 other families that came from the Oasis that also were missing luggage that used luggage valet. The airline was no help, they could only suggest we hang around and check all the other carousels for flights coming from FLL. They gave us a list of all incoming flights from FLL to check. That was the extent of their help.

We are using the valet service in March and hope this won't happen again but we still have these questions.

$20 per person and we use it all of the time in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. It works great! We typically fly Delta and Southwest.

Another positive is your airline boarding pass is delivered to your cabin on the last day. I used luggage valet after an Oasis cruise and flew from Ft Lauderdale to Birmingham, AL with a change of planes in Atlanta. Upon arrival in Birmingham my bags were waiting at baggage pick up.

The airline baggage fees will be added to your final SeaPass Account.

If your flying Southwest which allows 2 bags per person and you each have one bag you can put them under one person and only pay $20.

This is what we do too, especially with kids and trying to keep luggage down it is less to put 2 bags under me and then 1 under one of the others since we bring 3 bags for 3 of us.

We used it for the first time on our last cruise. Definitely worth the $20.

When we got to baggage claim at O'Hare, our bags were already off the carousel and standing off to the side.

They will add your airline fees into your onboard account. So we paid $90.00 total. $50 for united Airlines baggage fee per person and 40.00 for the luggage valet.
