It looks like Luggage Forward would work. We used them this year and were very pleased with the service.

How do you get prescriptions and mail on World Cruises?
sterling2 replied to Woofbite's topic in Holland America Line
We found Amazon to be less expensive than Good RX. Wonderful, fast customer service. -
Thank you. My husband is doing well. Rest is the big thing now. Luggage Forward is expensive but so worth it in this case. I can’t imagine picking up luggage at the airport. We were told that the luggage couldn’t be picked up at the port, but there was no problem with the hotel.

We used Luggage Forward to ship bags to the Island Princess for the World Cruise. UPS picked them up at our home and the next time we saw them was in our cabin on January 19. We were able to track them from pickup to delivery. Unfortunately we had to medically disembark the cruise in Honolulu. We checked into a hotel, left our luggage and went immediately to the hospital. I called Luggage Forward to cancel the arrangements for the end of the cruise in Fort Lauderdale and ask if the luggage could be picked up at our hotel. the customer service was excellent and the luggage was picked up on Monday, 3 pieces delivered to our home 2 days later and an oversized bag delivered on Friday. The luggage almost beat us home. We couldn’t have been happier with the service. Our case manager at the hospital had never heard of this service and was happy to keep it in mind since the hospital, unfortunately, gets lots of tourists. It certainly simplified getting home not to worry about luggage for a world cruise.

Thank you for all the good advice. Hopefully we will be going home tomorrow. We are at Straub and are very pleased with all the care.

My husband has been very happy with his medical care, particularly his vascular surgeon. We really want to fly first class. He would be miserable in economy. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to our post with all your suggestions and good thoughts. It’s much appreciated.
-
Thank you for this info. Fortunately he is able to fly home as soon as at home medical care is set up but we really appreciate all the info you provided. Hopefully he will be discharged Monday or Tuesday.
-
I typed a reply and it disappeared. Thank you. AON Care Assistance is who is calling. They assist with emergencies and with getting us home when he’s discharged. He’s very disappointed but there are always blessings - we’re thankful we were able to get off in Honolulu rather than it happening later in the cruise.

Thank you so much.

We were on the Island Princess world cruise beginning January 19. January 20 my husband got an infection in a toe. Went to medical Saturday. They began IV antibiotics and said he would have to see a vascular surgeon when we arrived in Honolulu onJanuary 24. We were medically disembarked in Honolulu and went to a hospital. About 4 hours later my husband’s toe was amputated. We’re still in the hospital, waiting for at home medical to be arranged before being fit to fly home. Care assistance at AON Insurance calls everyday as do Princess Family assistance. Both cruises have been canceled - 100% penalty for 1st segment and 75% for 2nd segment. I’m looking for tips on filing a claim for primarily the cruise fare. We think the bill for ship’s medical was reasonable and thought the entire medical staff were outstanding. The doctor on board was kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. Couldn’t have asked for more. We are looking for tips etc. on getting a claim filed for the penalties from Princess. Obviously it’s a large amount for a world cruise. Thanks for any advice.

We’ve taken this train several times. We always stay the night - not worth the stress of hoping to make the train.

Thank you for your excellent explanation.
