San Pedro/Luggage Tags When Using RCCL Transfer

[njoyndride]

I asked this on the west coast thread a week ago with no success and am hoping someone can help with an answer here.

 

My MIL and FIL just booked a last minute cruise on Mariner and purchased the air/transfer program. They are too close to request luggage tags on the RCCL website so will need to get them at the pier. If they have the air/transfer will the greeters at the airport have tags for them or will they need to get their luggage off the bus and get them from the porter at the pier? I wasn't sure when purchasing the air/transfer if they still took the luggage from the bus to the ship for you as I haven't used the cruiseline transfer since my very first cruise :).

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Well, in this day and age (since 9/11) you have to claim your bags every step of the way. They (the cruisers!) will claim them after the flight, and see them to the bus. At port, they (the cruisers) will have to take possession of them to make sure they're theirs, and then, the porters will take them. There's time to get tags...the bus driver may have some, but if he doesn't the porters will. No worries.

Thanks for the quick response! :) My MIL was stressing as they are used to picking up their bags at the airport, handing then over to the bus driver and not seeing them again until they hit the cabin. I'll let her know.

When you get in the baggage claim area look for the cruiseline rep. They should have tags that you can fill out and they will attach but you have to get your bags to the bus where they will be loaded on bus. At the pier, identify your bags for the porter( they like tips) and they will take to ship.

Thanks gofeo, I'll tell them to ask the rep. at the airport.
