Pettifogger Posted February 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Has anyone left luggage on the dock for an hour or more? We'll probably be kicked off the ship by about 9:30 a.m. and, if it's a nice day, we'd like to just walk around the docks and look at the ships for an hour or so before going on to our next stop. Does anyone know how long the luggage is considered properly left there rather than possibly abandoned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesstral Posted February 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I can't speak for that port but when I got off the ship in Seattle last year there was no way out without claiming bags and going through customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bnxshs Posted February 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Kesstral is correct, you'll not be able to leave the terminal building without your luggage. Now, possibly you might convince a longshoreman to watch your bags for you if you "incentivize" him, if that's even legal for them to do. Beyond that, I'm not aware of any luggage drops in the area for your purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted February 1, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Once you leave the terminal, you would not be permitted to re-enter for any reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2013 No matter what port we have been at -- Ft Lauderdale, San Diego, Seattle -- once off the ship you are directed to the area to claim your luggage. Then you get in the lines to go through immigration and customs. You are not permitted back into the building. And there is no where outside the cruise terminal to store your luggage while you look around. In Ft Lauderdale there really isn't much to see in the port area as much of it is cargo where you can not enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangerinebunny Posted February 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The few people I've seen walking in the FLL port never look happy - just over-heated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted February 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Your luggage leaves the terminal with you. CBP would frown on letting you return later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
