BDRebel Posted January 13, 2017 #51 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just remember that not all airlines participate in that program. Hopefully, your airline will! Tom I'm flying on Jet Blue, which is covered according to the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierlesscruisers Posted January 13, 2017 #54 Share Posted January 13, 2017 How do you find out what airlines participate?? It will be on the form that they will send to you toward the end of your cruise. I believe, but am not sure about this at all, that the ship will check your cruise persosnalizer to see if you have your flight information put in there and if it is and your airline is one of those participating then they will take steps to insure that you receive EZ-Check paperwork before the end of the cruise. If your flight info is not listed in your personalizer or it's not one of the participating airlines, then you will not receive the papework. As I said, this is just what I think occurs and it may be way off base. I'm attaching a copy of the EZ-Check paperwork from 2013 for Fort Lauderdale so you can see what the paperwork looks like. The info on that sheet, however, may not be valid any more. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom It expands to the same small size that all other forum thumbnails expand to. Good for scenery, not good for reading what is on what was originally an 8.5x11 piece of paper. Nothing you did wrong. That is just how Cruise Critic thumbnails work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrosso Posted January 14, 2017 #59 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We love using ez check, very simple, but we have been caught a couple of times for a mandatory bag inspection. As we leave the ship, our cruise cards get flagged and we are escorted to our bags and asked to point them out (once we had to open and go through them, the other 2 times - just point them out). They are then next seen at our home airport in JFK. We would like to use it again in a couple of weeks (FLL to JFK), but have for once selected an early flight, and i think there is an earliest time you can use it. We fly at 10.55am, and i believe ez check states you can only use for flights after 11am and before 11.30pm. I still might ask to see if there is some flexibility for the 5 minutes.

matadams4u Posted January 14, 2017 #60 Share Posted January 14, 2017 A nice bonus was to have our boarding passes delivered to the room. My 78 year old mom was a little resistant to use the service but really felt it was a great value. It really took the sting out of the worst part of getting from ship to plane.

We just flew back from FLL using EZCheck and agree it was well worth the money. Not having your bags to drag around is great, not having to stand in the United line that was out the door at FLL was priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then, check with Passenger Services on the ship. If you have your flight info on your Cruise Personalizer, they, the ship, should automatically send you the proper paperwork a couple of days before the end of the cruise. United does usually participate at most places I believe. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraP Posted January 19, 2017 #71 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Not true if you have had the age verified before and it is marked as such in the Southwest computer system. However, the senior fares are now always higher than the wanna getaway fares, so unless you are booking at the last minute when wanna getaway fares are not available, you will likely not use the senior fare. Thank you caribill, I lost a lot of sleep last night worrying about what was said here. This is my first solo cruise and I need all the help I can get with my luggage.

honeyclair Posted January 23, 2017 #72 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a Delta Am Ex card which allows me one free bag how does Princess handle this so I won't get dinged for the $25 baggage fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Delta Amex 1st bag free automatically applies to your booked flights provided you used that card to book flights. I attach a copy of the Delta Flight itinerary that has all info (Delta Sky Miles #'s , Delta Confirmation #, Flight #'s, etc) to the Princess EZ Check form & make a copy of both forms onboard - as a back-up.

There is a line on the form you fill in with the name of the program that allows one free bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie74 Posted April 24, 2018 #75 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If you travel with a person with disabilities the EZ service is well worth the cost. Mom and I used it last year and it made the processing through customs at the port a breeze and the madhouse at the airport bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
