am588 Posted January 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2012 No they didn't offer it today, just self assist options and airport transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandToIsland Posted January 15, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Darn....our flight isn't until 4:40pm on 2/12 and we want to take the 1:30pm shuttle from Galveston Limo. We were gonna check out Mardi Gras for a bit, but didn't want to deal with luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were gonna check out Mardi Gras for a bit, but didn't want to deal with luggage. When we cruised out of Puerto Rico we found a place right across from the port that let people leave their luggage their for a fee. We did it and had no problems. I would check around the port, although I have never sailed out of New Orleans so I have no idea how the port is set up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the same thing in SJ and it was very convenient. I just asked on the Galveston board so hopefully there are options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising3times Posted January 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We just got off the Legend today and flew home. We could not use the express service with Southwest airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scomar Posted January 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We just got off the Legend today and flew home. We could not use the express service with Southwest airlines. Does this apply to all Southwest flights when sailing on any Carnival ship?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising3times Posted January 17, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Southwest was not a participating airline, we were on the Legend and docked in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted January 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anyone know if the Magic offers luggage express for Southwest to Hobby airport? Nope... sorry. No Luggage Express program out of Galveston... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted January 18, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Southwest does participate, but no Luggage Express out of Galveston. I used the program in Port Canaveral when I was on Southwest, and it was really slick. Went right to the airport and straight to the security line. I would use Luggage Express anywhere it was available. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Nancy, I wish I had thought of that option last week when we cruised on Dream...how did it work exactly? cost? I am just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted January 18, 2012 #13 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Nancy, I wish I had thought of that option last week when we cruised on Dream...how did it work exactly? cost? I am just curious We had to sign up a couple of days before the end of the cruise. It cost $20 per person. We received our airline boarding passes delivered to our cabin right after dinner on the last night, along with tags to put on our luggage. Left the luggage outside the door by 11:00 that night, and the next time we saw them was in Seattle at the airport baggage claim. Since we had boarding passes and no luggage to check, we went right to the security line at the airport. I highly recommend it. Well worth the money!

As far as how to sign up, we had a form delivered to our cabin a few days into the cruise. We filled out the form and took it to Guest Services before the deadline. They added $20 to our S&S account and all we had to do was get our luggage out by 11:00 on the last night of the cruise. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooulio Posted January 19, 2012 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2012 That really stinks. We have used it for the past few years. It is so nice out of Florida on Southwest. Another negative out of Galveston. I keep trying to be positive but too many problems this time. Next cruise back to Florida. Enjoy renting a car for a few days without paying for a week. That is the first time I have ever seen this in all my cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerMK Posted June 27, 2012 #18 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Any suggestions on what to do with luggage in Galveston? Our flight is at 3:20 and we have transportation arranged for about 12:30. Thanks, Mindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
