Jezzieone Posted June 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If the ship is schedule for embarkation from 12-3 what is the earliest you can arrive at the pier with your stuff to leave with the porters? I have heard on here that you can drop off early and then just come back later and board the ship. Any information on how this works would be great! If there are two ships on the pier, how do you make sure your luggage is going to the correct ship? I read that in May there was a mixup when two ships were in SFO at the same time. Makes me nervous to think I might not have any luggage in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You can drop off luggage starting about 10:00 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Once you drop off your luggage, you can either proceed to go through security and check in or you can simply leave and return before the deadline for checking in. As far as what can happen if there are multiple ships at the same terminal, that is out of your hands once you hand over your luggage. Just make sure you are giving the luggage to someone who says it is for your ship and that the proper Princess luggage tags are highly visible.

Someone else puts them onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
