EZ check for bags??

[Clampram]

I tried looking this up for info on our upcoming December cruise and I can't find anything. This is the service where Princess takes your bags the night before disembarkation and gets them to the airport for you.

Anyone know if this service will still be provided?

 

TIA

IIRC...it's FLL only and maybe certain airlines?

[Clampram]

I should have said that our cruise is out of FLL and on American

Anyone??

I really don’t know if anyone could say with certainty what’s happening with EZ Check in view of COVID.

You will not get current info since no one has sailed for about 18 months.

 That said, we were one of the last sailors, in March of 2020. We returned to Fort Lauderdale on March 6. Princess offered EZ check for our cruise. It was $25 per person plus the fees charged by you airline. You put your bags outside you cabin the last night. You then pick them up at baggage claim in your home airport

 

Check the customers service desk to be sure of this.

Our last cruise was December 2019 from FLL and we flew JetBlue.  We used EZ check at that time.

We were on the last cruise on the Caribbean Princess in March 2020 before cruising shut down.  Had to come back to port early due to potential Covid exposure to some crew.  Had signed up for EZ check but Princess cancelled it because the results of the crew test was not not received (it was negative thankfully).  EZ check works really well.

Ask the question again in November once some cruises have sailed. Maybe then there will be additional information. Once on board check with passenger services. If they have it for American then they have it.

It is being offered in Seattle free of charge for the Alaska season.

Word to the wise: be sure to check with the Purser's office (aka Customer Service desk) on the ship the first morning you've sailed. On our last Princess cruise there was no mention of EZ-Check in the Patter, and I waited until day 3 to ask about it. I finally was able to get the form and Princess made arrangements, but it was close. So ask early.

 

As someone here said, EZ-Check WAS available only in SEA and FLL/MIA. Cost was $25 per bag, but not all airlines were available. Not sure what it will be when sailing resumes; nobody is, included the passengers, airlines, port and cruise lines.

Is the luggage transfer through Princess or through the program offered by the city of Seattle for the past few years that has always been free?

It is via the City of Seattle.

We are also sailing in Dec out of Fort Lauderdale hoping that EZ Check is available. When on line chatting with Princess yesterday agent said "should" be availabe. We then posted question on Facebook Princess group. One person on the Sky now said it was. Another response said service was back and they flew Delta. We are flying Southwest.

If you haven't done so already, I would ask the EZ Check status on the current Emerald thread.  They return to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday so the EZ Check info, if is available this cruise, should already have been distributed.

Flights also have to be after 11:30 and be domestic.  Make sure you have a copy of your flight schedule.  They are strict on the times.

It was not available when we got off the Panama Canal full transit last month.  I don’t know if that’s because it was the first sailing back to FLL.  I hope it comes back!

It's not available to us returning to Fort Lauderdale on December 20th on the enchanted princess.
