LadyVol1 Posted January 23, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If people were putting the following items in their checked baggage that they then wanted Luggage Valet to deal with, that wouldn't work: "Federal law prohibits hazardous materials from being included in either checked or carry-on baggage. Items such as explosives, compressed gases, oxidizers, corrosives, flammable liquids and solids, loaded firearms, radioactive materials and poisons are considered hazardous. Some common examples of prohibited items include paints, mace/tear gas, lighter fluid, oxygen bottles and fireworks."

Sent from my iPhone using Forums That is common sense and also from the TSA website. I was referring to the poster who mentioned that "apparently there were security issues with passengers packing prohibited items." Since luggage valet deals with checking your luggage through to your flight home, I was wondering what the items might be that were prohibited since presumably the passengers flew to the cruise port, and were on the ship with luggage that had been thoroughly screened in both places. It surprised me that was an issue, although I guess in these crazy times there is no such thing as too much caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks From the Michaels club concierge I believe there may be some language now that celebrity cannot guarantee that your luggage will reach its destination-- sole discretion of tsa Who knows what people pack!!

chamima Posted January 23, 2017 Author #32 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Other cruise lines have been using Luggage Valet uninterrupted for years. Celebrity has used many "reasons" for stopping it and I personally think this was just another excuse. Seems ridiculous to bother now if they've reinstated it to bother to keep making excuses.

Happy2cruise Posted January 23, 2017 #33 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Other cruise lines have been using Luggage Valet uninterrupted for years.Celebrity has used many "reasons" for stopping it and I personally think this was just another excuse. Seems ridiculous to bother now if they've reinstated it to bother to keep making excuses. Absolutely agree with you!! No other cruiseline has the the "problems" Celebrity claims they have. IMHO, it's all excuses because they don't want to be bothered with the service. Celebrity never made a public statement it was discontinued and they have not confirmed it is back on any or all ships. It's a hit and miss if your sailing has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie's Girl Posted January 24, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I just received a text and a phone call from Celebrity advising me of boarding times. They said the ship sails at 4 pm. All my paperwork says 4:30. Hope everyone else here is aware of that. Anyway everyone must be on board by 3 pm.

charlie52 Posted January 24, 2017 #42 Share Posted January 24, 2017 alliecruiser - it depends where your ship ports. If you're asking about the Eclipse, she ports in Miami, so for a flight out of FLL the time last year was for flights after 2:00. For flights out of the port city (in this case Miami) the time last year was 11:30. I will post the new information sheet as soon as I have it so we all know for sure. Very anxious to hear verified information. We fly out of FLL and have used luggage valet and LOVED IT!!! Our flight in March is at 12 20 and (fingers crossed) we want to use it...we alway fly out of FLL and I would almost swear cut off was noon for either...I don't believe we have ever had a flight after 2pm I'm very anxious to hear...make a big difference in how I pack and post cruise plans...

chamima Posted January 25, 2017 Author #50 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thank you SO MUCH for trying!!!! A friend who travels Solo asked if there were a maximum number of bags per person. (If it's per cabin she's ok - she's thinking of taking 3 bags). I'm so happy this program is back on. Anyone who doesn't use it will realize their mistake when they get to the airport and have to stand in that LONG baggage check-in line!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
