September 2023, April 2024....both times there was a stand outside the Front Desk...you picked your own bag tags with assigned times. No tags for carrying off. Suites and other "Priority" disembarking groups were issued a certain color, which said you could depart "whenever". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crew News Posted June 2 #9 Share Posted June 2 Just for clarification, everyone (with the exception of those guests with prepaid airport/excursion transportation) can choose the time they wish to disembark. CO (Black 1 tags) and 4&5 Star Mariners (Black 2 tags) can choose a time window when they wish to disembark. The window for my May 4th Vancouver disembarkation for the black tags was 8:10 AM - 9:30 AM. Note: All of the luggage cannot be unloaded instantaneously. The luggage tag color and number are the sequence that the luggage is moved from the ship to the terminal. CO and 4&5 Star Mariner luggage is the first to be moved to the cruise terminal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had CO and walked off when we were ready to find our luggage waiting for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No priority disembarkation. Very disorganized. We were counting on the priority disembarkation because we had a flight earlier than 11am. When I asked, they just pointed to the long line. I brought this up to one of the of officers, and he just said, well you had priority tendering at one of the ports didn't you? If you want to get off the ship early, get in line early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare terrydtx Posted June 5 #14 Share Posted June 5 1 hour ago, Sea42 said: That's true as long as you pick up the luggage tags before that time slot is filled We printed our luggage tags for our August Volendam and the tags say to keep them on the luggage as they will also be our tags for disembarkation in Montreal. We have CO if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will now for sure in August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD4134 Posted June 5 #22 Share Posted June 5 You receive a letter which contains a very detailed description of the process of disembarking. This letter includes but is not limited too, how to acquire your luggage tags, how to purchase airport transfers, how to get off the ship 1st by carrying your luggage off the ship, etc. When you get the letter, everything is clearly described, you figure out the best method for you and proceed as the letter instructs. You may also stop by guest relations, and they will be happy to help you plan your disembarkation. P.S. It has been printed on your luggage tags that you should keep the tag attached to your luggage as it is also your disembarkation tag, for a long time. 1st thing I do when I get in my cabin is to remove the luggage tag and destroy it. These tags have no part in the process of disembarking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
