Luggage Direct after TA

[jerseygirl3]

We will be sailing Eurodam Transatlantic from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale. We are then booked to fly American Airlines from Ft. Lauderdale to Philadelphia. Is Luggage Direct available after a TA, and if so, what is the cost and is it per person or per bag?

As far as I know, it is port and Airline dependant, so you should be able to use it in Port Everglades to FLL with American Airlines ok!

Its $19.95 per person (plus airline baggage fees), including printing your boarding passes. So, no check in queues! :D

Wow! That's a bargain. We're flying Business Class so we're allowed 3 checked bags each complimentary. We will definitely be taking advantage of this! If they print my boarding passes, how do I get them?

The boarding pass and airline baggage tags are delivered to your cabin the night before disembarkation along with your disembarkation color tag /number.

The past couple of times it has been Yellow 1/2.

Luggage direct is right after the self disembark.

This is correct! It is perhaps the only drawback of Luggage Direct that you should disembark in one of the early groups. This is because U.S. customs may want to inspect your bags and you should be present for the inspection.

You just answered a question I was about to ask. I was going to ask why, if your luggage is already gone, do you have to get off the ship so soon. Our flight isn't until 3 p.m., so we were hoping to hang around on the ship a little later

 

Oh well, I guess we'll go somewhere in Ft. Lauderdale and have lunch.

J-Girl, please note that I underlined should as that is the instruction you are given. bbbbbut, we have disembarked later than we were scheduled and no consequences. However, I put that down to our bags going to Europe and not staying in the U.S., so they are not really of interest to U.S. Customs. However there always is the possibility of inspection ;)
