Can I take bags off early but stay on the ship

[compman9]

A port of call is right near where I live. Will Royal allow me to take my bags off, but stay on the cruise till the end to save on flight baggage costs?

I have walked off the ship at a port of call will a large suitcase in the past with no issues.  I did have one port security person comment that he hoped I wasn't planning on bringing that back full of alcohol, but other than that comment, it was no issue.  I have also reboarded at the same port of call with a large suitcase and had no issues bringing a suitcase back on.

I've seen people do it. I think that they care more about what to bring on the ship than off. 

 

If to want to be safe though, call or email Royal.

Thank you for your replies

We have friends that live on St Croix, they frequently unload and reload when they visit their home during Caribbean cruises. (They also water the plants)

I've brought an extra suitcase filled with donation-type items (baby clothes, school supplies, etc) for family when we had a port stop before. They did search it, but had no issues when they saw that there wasn't anything illegal. I imagine it wouldn't be any different for you, except it might feel a little weird going home and then back on the cruise again.
