Former Goalie Posted October 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I've heard that, if we board the ship early, we can drop our luggage off in the Neptune Lounge prior to our stateroom being ready to access (1:30 PM?). Is this correct? Also, what is available in the NL for early boarders, and will the concierge be there? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbear Posted October 13, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We left our carry on luggage in the NL with the concierge while we went for lunch and before the rooms were ready so should be alright for you to do that. (The door is locked if the concierge is not there but should be when you board). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, on the last cruise on the Noordam, the suites were ready about 1 pm, well before the general announcement. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the same cruise as Terri, and ran into one another in the NL. We dropped our luggage off and by the time we got back, it was already in our cabin. Lovely and Dianne spoiled us! :) I meant to add that on our prior HAL cruise we booked excursions that first day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Panama Canal Cruise is coming up soon. Are you and hubby ready to join us? We leave from San Diego. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 13, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Both concierges will be there to greet you as you enter the Neptune Lounge -- and by name!! We lock our carry-ons and leave them there while we do whatever we feel like doing. Only once have we ever had our bags tagged and brought to the suite. All other times we had to return and pick them up ourselves. There will snacks, tea sandwiches, cookies, other desserts if you just want something to eat.

sail7seas Posted October 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2009 By all means proceed to Neptune Lounge after you board and start enjoying it. They will happily hold your carry ons for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl_m Posted October 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thats good to know ! I didn't know that they will bring your carry ons to your suite.I think I am going to be spoil with my first suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted October 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Interesting comment by Nonnie. We have left our baggage in the Neptune Lounge several times but have never been recognized by name when we walked in the first time. On the Ryndam we have been recognized the second time and thereafter but not on the Westerdam. Maybe too many of the larger ships. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes4445 Posted October 14, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Terri,Good to hear from you. Yes, they did spoil us. Our Panama Canal Cruise is coming up soon. Are you and hubby ready to join us? We leave from San Diego. Terri We'd love to join you, but hubby's dad has been in the hospital/rehab since mid-July and my mom finally went home from the hospital last week after being in the hospital/rehab since the beginning of August. We have decided that we need to stay close to home for a bit. We are having a hard time keeping up with everything. Did you have a good time in France? I'll drop you an email. I can't wait to hear about your Panama Canal cruise. That's one that's on our list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know who the concierge is these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
