Daisyforme Posted February 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm on the Royal Princess cruise from March 20 to March 30. Does anyone know if Princess and American Airlines have a luggage type program from Ft. Lauderdale to DFW airport at the end of the cruise? Basically, take luggage from cabin on the last night and send it straight to DFW airport. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moki'smommy Posted February 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2018 On our last cruise they did....I think the cost was $20pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted February 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Called EZ Check and only certain airlines participate. Keep an eye out for the info during your cruise and have flight informatain available. Does not seem to be any weight restrictions,ie 50 lbs, either.

KathyB_37 Posted February 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I used it getting off the Crown in Ft. Lauderdale and flying American to Chicago O'Hare. Paid $25 for a suitcase that probably weighed 65 lbs. (no overage charges) and saw it next on the carousel in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yes, they do. We used it for our American flights from Fort Lauderdale to Charlotte to Greenville/Spartanburg on Tuesday. Charge is $25 per person plus your airlines charge for your bags. As part of the service, they will check you in and print your boarding pass(es).

Eagle_and_hawk Posted February 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2018 You should get this form about three days before you return to fill out and drop off at the customer services desk. We have used it once, and worked real well for us, although we used Delta back to Atlanta. This was from our cruise last year: EZ1 by Cool Runnings, on Flickr EZ2 by Cool Runnings, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancruzs Posted February 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Key words is watch for the form. I made a major mistake (my fault not theirs), did not see the form on a transatlantic cruise ending in Ft. L. I asked and it was too late to do the check, plus Delta had changed my EZ air to 9:30 a.m.. I made the flight but would not have if things hadn't gone exactly my way. Even after many cruises, there are always lessons to be learned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauderdale for flights after 11.30am for participating airlines only, Domestic flights.If you are flying out of Miami there is later cutoff but don't remember what time that would be.

susancruzs Posted February 11, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks for the "after 11:30" info! I'm sailing into Ft. L. after a NE cruise this Fall. I will keep checking my Delta flight this time. Right now it is after 1:00 p.m., which is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyforme Posted February 11, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thank you Eagle_and_hawk for posting the EZ Check form--very helpful! Anyone know if at FFL airport that it is a true EZ Check--starting with the crew taking luggage from the cabin the night before we disembark and the next time we see our luggage is at the DFW airport carousel? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyforme Posted February 12, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi Thrak. Thanks for your reply. With the EZ Check, did your luggage leave from your cabin the night before you disembarked? What about customs? Any more info is greatly appreciated.

Anyone know if at FFL airport that it is a true EZ Check--starting with the crew taking luggage from the cabin the night before we disembark and the next time we see our luggage is at the DFW airport carousel? Thanks. Yes, true. Remember that all liquids/creams/gels which do not meet TSA checkpoint standards must be in your checked luggage and not in carryon luggage. So be sure to put those liquids in your EZCheck luggage unless you will have another bag to check at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times Prince Posted February 12, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thank you Eagle_and_hawk for posting the EZ Check form--very helpful! Anyone know if at FFL airport that it is a true EZ Check--starting with the crew taking luggage from the cabin the night before we disembark and the next time we see our luggage is at the DFW airport carousel? Thanks.We used EZCheck coming off the Royal Princess in December. Put the luggage out the night before, and next time we saw it was at our home airport in Austin. Soooo much nicer than having to locate luggage in the terminal and then schlepping it through immigration, taxi, and airport. We even reduced our carry-on to just a backpack that contained valuables like camera, Kindle, etc. For us it was worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
