Luggage Entitlement

[Plan B]

Help required please. This is taken from the NCL website.

 

"How many suitcases can I take? Each guest is allowed two pieces of checked luggage, with a 22kg maximum each."

 

Should this be read as "each guest is allowed" or "each piece of luggage" for the 22kg?

 

We are boarding the Jade in Malaga - we live in Spain - so no airline restrictions need to be considered.

 

Thanks everyone

Each person can definitely take 2 suitcases where each suitcase weighs 22kg. To my knowledge, NCL does not count or weigh your suitcases when you check in. Just drop your bags with the person collecting bags upon your arrival. They don't have a scale or counter that I have ever seen. They just take them off as fast as possible. I think this guideline is more to make sure your airline permits all your bags. It also might be a policy that is in place just in case someone tries to bring 15 very large suit cases on board. But it is not readily enforced that I have seen as long as you are reasonable.

you can have 2 bags.

each bag can weigh 22kg.

 

Your partner is the same. 2 bags, 22kg per bag.

Thank you for your replies. That is how I read it, then my other half got involved & tried to persuade me that we could only take 22kg each person!

 

Thanks again

The luggage limits are not enforced, there are and have been numerous people travelling with a lot more of luggage than 2 per pax. So nothing to worry as long as they are handleable with ease (meaning that you don't have dozens of plastic bags or something equally horrible). :D

Those limitations are really put in place for those that are flying. Two bags, 22 kg, which I think is 50 pounds for those of us on the other side of the pond.

Dunno, I'm not a shoe person myself. :D:D My extra bags have usually been just soda cases. :)

At least in Miami the porters usually have plenty of luggage tags, you can always print them yourself too.

 

If I remember correctly, in 2009 in Barcelona the porter had no tags (at least back then the porter system was not like in US, most people took their own bags to the baggage drop from taxis and buses) and had to improvise with masking tape but the bags have always been delivered without any problems nonetheless.

I guess 2 aren't real? Reading over packet it says

2 each guest with a weight limit of 50 each piece.

 

So now I'm confused, can I only use 4 of the 6 :confused:

Are you flying or driving?

I always figured 2 were just extras in case you somehow messed up any of the 4 "good" ones.

 

That said, I would not worry about the maximum allowance of 2 bags per person, unless you're dealing with airline restrictions. I have never heard of anyone having the policy enforced by the cruise line.

Take what you want. It just has to fit through the security scanners at the port. No limit.

Thanks, now I can start packing. :D

 

(We leave out tomorrow, lol)
