Port Everglades Boarding Passes/Luggage transfers/Carribean Princess

[Cajuntraveler]

On our last (and first) cruise out of Seattle, we were able to obtain our return air boarding passes on the ship (Emerald Princess). Princess also transferred our luggage directly to the airport. We will be sailing on Carribean Princess out of Port Everglades soon and have been trying to find out if luggage transfer and advance boarding pass service is available. Two of us are flying home on Southwest Airlines at 3:30 PM, so are hoping to not have to take our two suitcases to the airport after leaving the ship. In Seattle the service was free. If the service is available in FLL, is there a charge? Any info will be appreciated.

Seattle's free system is totally unique. The service at Ft Lauderdale is not free. For more specifics, check the Princess board, here:

It is available in Fort Lauderdale, but with a cost. The charge is $25 per person plus what ever baggage charges are imposed by your airline (I think zero in SW). Included in the service is checking you in, printing your luggage tags and boarding passes.
