Twiga Posted July 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We are considering using Luggage Free, the Azamara partner, for shipping our suitcases to the Pursuit in Ravenna this October. They say that they will deliver our luggage to our stateroom. Has anyone used Luggage Free this year for a cruise leaving Ravenna (specifically) or from another port? If so, what is your opinion of their service? Did your luggage arrive safely and on time? Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions that may help me when shipping my suitcases to the Pursuit. Thank you in advance!

seaventuregal Posted July 14, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2022 We also have a cruise later this year that will be departing from Ravenna and are curious if anyone has had experience with shipping luggage recently with Luggage Free to ANY port in Europe. There have been stories and pictures on TV and internet in the last few days showing thousands of bags stranded at airports in Heathrow and Amsterdam especially so it would be great to ship the large bags to the cruise port and only have to worry about carry-ons! Luggage Free is partnered with Azamara and other cruise lines, but would like to hear if others would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BohJang Posted July 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2022 We are on the Pursuit out of Southampton on 7/27 and I'm very seriously thinking of trying it. I'd love to hear if anyone has used it and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare asnaleah Posted July 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I’m seriously considering it, but we are next going to South America. I will have to check to see if the service is offered from Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia1 Posted July 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I've used Luggage Forward-- and always satisfied . I am trying Luggage Free this time because it is the shipping company associated with Azamara. Both companies have very good reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azalice Posted July 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2022 We also decided on Luggage Free for this year due to all the airport issues. We also priced Luggage Forward and found Luggage Free 150 dollars cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiga Posted August 14, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If you have used Luggage Free to ship your suitcases, did you use an Air Tag, Smart Tracker or other tracking device for the suitcases? If so, did it work as expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utopia1 Posted August 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I have used Luggage Forward in the past because it was associated with the cruise line I was sailing on- and it has always been great. I'm using Luggage Free this time because they are associated with Azamara. They see similar (except Luggage Free is less expensive) and the reviews are also similar.

seaventuregal Posted August 15, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 15, 2022 We are thinking of using Luggage Free as well but would like to know if Air Tags are allowed in the shipped bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia1 Posted August 15, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2022 On request Luggage Free will send you a list of prohibited items for packing-- Air Tags are NOT on the prohibited list. Due to the many items prohibited such as liquids I am forced to check my carryon bag and take a small tote on the plane that attaches to my carry on.

Yes, the problem is the prohibition against shipping liquids. I usually pack most liquid items in my checked luggage. This time I will take only what I can't find in stores in the countries we visit. It will be easy enough to buy sunscreen and lotions along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No alcohol is allowed. The prohibited items include "alcohol, or any goods containing alcohol, such as perfume or cologne." About the only things you may pack are clothes. The prohibited list is extensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted August 22, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Having priced up the Luggage Free service and looked at the restrictions, I would almost be cheaper to buy my student son a quick return economy ticket and ask him to come as the sherpa 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
