SherriZ366 Posted September 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) When we disembarked Allure of the Seas after our August 22, 2021 cruise, there was a shortage of luggage porters. We were told that the Port was experiencing a shortage of porter employees. I think this may have been caused by the extra Federal Unemployment Benefit of $300 -- it may have been more cost effective to collect unemployment and not work. Since our cruise, Florida has rescinded this extra $300 federal employment benefit. For cruises disembarking at Port Canaveral, are there now more porters? We are cruising again at the end of October. Edited September 30, 2021 by SherriZ366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmc Posted September 30, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Florida rescinded the extra $300 in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampurp85 Posted September 30, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Ha this is one of the funniest things I have read on here. I would assume that everyone who works at the port has to be vaxxed...so my thought would be just that. Not enough people who want to comply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be more cruise activity in late October from Port Canaveral than there was in August. If a shortage of Porters remains, just be patient. Someone will be available to help you eventually.

That's just about what we did after our August Allure cruise. Good advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
