Luggage to the room

[LadyYadaYada]

Like most, our boarding got pushed back an hour and a half. We have dinner reservations and are wondering typically how long it takes for the luggage to get to the room?

Thanks. We are out of practice.

All depends.  They lost my luggage last week on the explorer.  Then they brought me the luggage of the person that had the room before the Royal up bids.  So I didn’t get mine till about 6pm.     
 

but normally around 1-2 I think.

Wherever you’re eating on night 1, you’re not expected to be dressed up as they know many have not received their luggage yet.

We have gotten luggage early in the afternoon to as late as 11 PM

We always put the clothes we expect to wear to dinner in our carry-on.

Why wait, I check the pile awaiting delivery in the elevator lobby and if I see mine I take it

 I agree.  These are your best options. Either pack what you need in your carryon or the first night’s dinner may be come as you are, as your luggage may not arrive in time.  Your pick.

As previously stated, dine as you are dressed upon boarding. Since I use the D+ perk of 2 for 1 specialty dining as a solo, one booking is first night. I've been to Chops in jeans, pants, shorts depending on temperatures on arrival day. Never a problem.

I do that, too.  And have been yelled at by crew.  😉

I have done that.

 

And also have had the cabin steward put the bags in the room to get them out of the hallway.

If it's IN the passenger hallway near the elevator I take it.  If it's inside the crew room where the freight/crew elevator is, I always ask first if I see it in there.

Found our luggage staff had placed at a cabin door on the opposite end of the ship.

[neverbeenhere]

Yes, wrong end, wrong side of ship, wrong floor. That’s why we now almost always carry on. 
 

BTW: the clothing in the luggage sitting next door might fit you. 😋

In Nov on HOTS, we had to go look for ours.  All the luggage within 20 feet of our cabin were 20+ cabins away from where they belonged.  DH walked 100 feet down the hall and found ours.  I don't think any luggage on deck 10 was where it was supposed to be.  And, no, they weren't stacked on carts or in the elevator area, they were actually placed in front of cabins, the wrong ones though by a long shot.

Same thing on Anthem in January.  Our luggage was down the hall a bit and someone’s luggage was in front of the cabin next to us which was unoccupied all cruise!

I think our room steward was bored on our sailing as we had several empty cabins in our area so he put our luggage in the room on the sofa and end of bed too🤩    we were pleasantly surprised.

It has been a long time since a steward put our luggage in our room🥴

I’m putting a Air tracker in mine, I can not walk up and down all the halls looking for mine.

Has happened several times for us as well.  Hence the "hallway crawl" once we realize we are missing one.  Once found it on a deck below us as well!  And I use the printed/color tags in holders (two per bag).  

[Maitaivegas]

I will post how the trackers work in my report, it might be a low cost alternative for the hallway crawl

[LeeW]

Typically they bring baggage up to a floor and move all the bags from one or two bins out into the hallway before rolling it down to your door.  Haven't had any go to the wrong floor but often have it way down the hall from our cabin.

Some folks have a long day, traveling etc, so it’s  nice to freshen up, change.   Others like to change ..day wear  vs evening. 😀

Same, well before Covid

[shipgeeks]

Ours was delivered to our cabin about an hour after we boarded, including one bag that had lost its RC luggage tag.  Fortunately, we had our name on the bus tag; they figured it out and got it to us.
