Luggage Valet NCL?

[cck0000]

Hi Guys

We'll be first time NCL cruisers this Dec!

Can someone tell me if NCL offers the "luggage Valet" service--

its that service you sign up on board for--and they take your bags directly to your airport for you?

We are disembarking Miami and flying out of FLL.

thank you

Yes, they do. It's for specific airlines but I can't tell you which ones off the top of my head.

We are also doing are first NCL cruise, just after Thanksgiving on Spirit out of NOLA. We have a late flight (3pm) and sure would like to be able to have our luggage taken to the airport for us (for a fee). Did some searching on this and NCL has this BAGS program but its not really promoted. It would be great if they still have it.

 

Plan B is to dump our stuff at Harrahs casino in the morning when we get off and pick the stuff up after we've done a little touring (I promise we will play some while our bags are held hostage in case someone from Harrahs is reading this ;).

I am not 100% sure but I think if you are disembarking in Miami they will only take your luggage to MIA, not FLL.

My brother highly recommended the bags program...check it out before you cruise;)

Please Note:

This service is provided by the participating air carrier. Occasionally, difficulties in processing a guest’s airline records may prevent us from printing boarding passes and luggage tags on board. Should this happen, it may be necessary for guests to check in at the airport. Depending on the port of disembarkation, guests may be required to clear their luggage with U.S. Customs before BAGS can check them in with the airline. Participating airlines differ by port. Please visit the ship’s front desk for more information.

By participating in this program, you agree to pay the applicable service and airline baggage fees that will be charged to your onboard account (see attached Airline Baggage Fee Schedule). You further agree and stipulate that the aggregate value of all the baggage noted herein does not exceed U.S. $100.00 per enrolled guest and any liability of NCL for any cause whatsoever with respect to said baggage shall not exceed such sum and shall be subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Guest Ticket Contract. You understand that NCL cannot act on behalf of the airline, therefore special arrangements such as seating assignments, meals, and other assistance must be directed to the airline.

We have returned now from our Jewel cruise, and in case anyone else is interested--

NCL DID offer us the luggage valet program.

The service does include both airports MIA and FLL, and many airlines.

We chose NOT to utilize it due to the high cost.

We found it to be too much for our family of four.

The price per bag was reasonable (15$ for the first bag),

but it was the additional "participation fee" of $19.99 per passenger that

steered us away.

Not worth that kind of money in my opinion!

We carried our own suitcases off (self-walk off disembark) and upgraded to a larger rental Car (to accommodate luggage.)
