Luggage time?

[Beachfrog]

Our ship, Westerdam, docks in Seward at 4:30 AM.  We need to catch our tour bus at 8:00 AM.  Which should we do?  If we set out our luggage the night before, what time can we expect the bags to be available for pick-up?  Or, would it be better if we carried them off ourselves?  We have some older folks in our group and am not certain they can manage their bags themselves getting off the ship.  Thank you very much!

You need to carry your luggage, because they won't start to take off your luggage until 7:00am.

Thank you for the response!

Take them off yourselves, so do not put them out in the corridor. They are taken off by the longshoremen per color code priority

There are no porters available, so no help with luggage. Perhaps some of the younger more able members of the group can take some of the luggage for the older folks?
