travel_nuts Posted June 22, 2014 #26 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I let someone else take my bags off the ship and then come back and haul me off kicking and screaming. Never had a problem except with security, of course. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted June 25, 2014 #27 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The last time we left our suitcases was after our ship had called at Gibraltar before returning to Southampton, and we were using one of the coaches to return home. Customs were out in force that day, because of the duty free stop in Gib, and we waited in the arrivals hall for almost an hour whilst they stopped about 1 in 5 passengers, then searched their luggage for the non-tax booze and cigs....Our coach was so late that we didn't return until late at night, and I think that's another reason why we always self disembark at Soton.

jammen Posted June 26, 2014 #28 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have done both, & had no problem. Set aside what you will wear when you disembark, arrive in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted June 26, 2014 #29 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Putting bags out in the hall the evening prior as never been an issue and we've done both. If we fly and have a flight after noon, we do "easy check". That's when you put the bags out in the all the evening prior and don't see or touch them until they are on the carousel at our home airport and disembark by "whatever" color/code. If we drive, we do self walk off and are in our car and driving away by 8AM, and when we cruise out of FLL we've NEVER had a problem taking a 10:30 AM flight home if we do the self walk off. We've never arrived at the airport later then 8:15. (and yes, I know this is not advisable!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
