Lonedaddy Posted May 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2023 We just received our electronic ticket. Where do we get luggage tags do they do that at the port on SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted May 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2023 At the port. SS no longer send the 'Silver Box' by mail or courier, that was how you received the luggage tags. The cost of sending a great big and subsequently useless box always seemed an unnecessary waste to me, one good result of Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougburns Posted May 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I did the simply hotel on my Dawn cruise in March. The SS rep at the hotel gave us our luggage tags the evening before loading up to go to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was at The Grand Bretagne in Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonedaddy Posted May 22, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted May 22, 2023 SS doesn't embark til 2PM? guess we have to find something to do in Southampton in the morning. From electronic boarding document: NEW EMBARKATION AND CHECK-IN PROCESS Our check-in process has been relaxed and will be performed entirely shore-side, while embarkation will be staggered to ensure ample space for guests’ comfort and safety. • In order to complete our comprehensive sanitisation procedures and to best prepare for your journey on board, embarkation will start at 2pm and suites will be ready to welcome you in superlative comfort at 4pm at the latest.

I was on Spirit out of Athens last month.....we were allowed to board much earlier than 2pm. It may depend on the port but on my last 2-3 sailings I was on board before that 2pm time. That embarkation process paragraph has been in place since the re-start happened in June 2021. Not sure if they are ever going to update it or not.

Well, don't shoot the messenger if they make you wait though🙂. I can only give you information from my sailings. I don't know know if Southampton will be that early or not.

Rare spinnaker2 Posted May 22, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think the message is hope for early boarding but be prepared if you have to wait. A lot of uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JSR Posted May 22, 2023 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2023 We did a walking tour in Southampton that was wonderful. It was a group tour however, my husband and I were the entire group.

Rare drron29 Posted May 23, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2023 In Barcelona last year we boarded at 1pm and In Lisbon in March it was noon and at 2pm they announced all suites were available. Though I don’t doubt that the English would do things differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
