Baggage to Airport Service?

[Jcol5786]

Hello,

I saw it mentioned recently in a thread that RC will pick up your large bags from the hallway on the last night and send them directly to  your departing  airport. This sounds like a great service for us as it would allow us to walk off first thing in the morning of arrival. Do you have to have arranged your flight through the Air-Sea program or will they do it for any passenger? Also if your cruise ends in Miami but are flying out of Fort Lauderdale as we are will they send your bags to FL airport even though it not the closest airport? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

It varies as to ship offering this. 

 

Has nothing to to do with Air 2 Sea.  Only certain airlines participating.  

 

You will I’ll get a letter in your stateroom during the cruise if it is available.

Depending on ship, it’s offered in Ft Lauderdale, Miami, Port Canaveral, and Seattle.

and depending upon Airlines. Its called the Luggage Valet service

Not sure if Miami port to Ft Lauderdale airport or vice versa is an option.

Good question, I know Southwest does not fly out of MIA so if its available for SWA at Miami port then maybe they do

[Grandma Dazzles]

Excellent program. It’s called luggage valet and is available through certain airlines.  Highly recommend.

Looks like Miami isn't an option (unless this RCI FAQ page is out of date). Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral & Seattle

Be aware that this is usually not offered for early flights.  They get all of the bags on a truck and drive them over en-mass.  If you have an early flight (usually before noon) you need to take your own bags.

We use luggage valet whenever we can.  Flight can be either fll or mia 

Flight needs to depart after 1130 am

There are 5 or 6 airlines they coordinate with. American southwest and jetblue I know are among the list.  It is 25 pp 

Nice to leave bags outside cabin and not lug around till you get off plane back home.

[DaniDanielle]

It was great and reasonably priced.

Not offered on Symphony in Miami at all last fall, not sure if that has changed since

Used out of Miami last year in April - Navigator of the Seas.

Wow. This is great! We have a late afternoon flight out of Orlando on Southwest. It would be wonderful not to have to deal with our checked luggage. 

[Vacation...Yes]

I emailed RCCL a few weeks ago about luggage valet as we have always used it in the past & loved the convenience. We are sailing on Symphony 11/14/20 out of Miami. I was told that this service is not available on Symphony of the Seas... major bummer. We’ve only ever used the service so now I have to figure out the whole pick up your own luggage thing 😞

You leave the ship, go down to the luggage pickup area, pick up your bags, go by the facial recognition scanners, and leave.

I love to use it.  However I am silver medallion on Delta and get upgraded quite often.   They don't upgrade in this program.

Did it last year at Port Canaveral for Southwest Airlines. was a little apprehensive at our arrival airport baggage claim hoping to see our luggage but when they came off on the carousel I think I yelled "I Loved you Luggage Valet"

i do remember going through customs and the officer did inquire where our bags were.
