Avalon Hand Lugage Rules

[honumaui]

We cruised with Avalon 2 years ago. Had one check in each and one roll on. The roll on was placed in a compartment under the bus when traveling and placed inside our check ins when in the cabin. The new rules indicate no roll ons on a bus. I am confused. Does that mean only that you can not bring them into the bus or that you can't have them at all. We are leaving in a few weeks and have a pre cruise tour booked which will then bring us to the boat.

I believe they mean you can't bring them inside the bus. They will have to go in the underbelly with the larger pieces. As you can imagine, overhead space is probably just large enough for purses, jackets, etc.

The roll on will go underneath the bus. There is no place to safely store it on the bus. I think it is more a safety issue and for you to know not to pack anything you will need with you at all times in a case that will be under the bus. Use a small zippered tote for things you need to keep on your person. There was no issue whatsoever with the luggage on our July cruise. Simply left in area with the tags on and then never saw them until they were in our cabin. Btw they send you each two Avalon luggage tags for transfer so don't worry.

I can tell you from my current trip. There is very limited room for overhead storage on the transfer bus. Most people kept their had luggage on their lap because it would not fit in the overhead shelf.

We are on Avalon at present, started at Prague, no problems with luggage with bus, they took 2 suitcases and 2 roll ons for luggage storage under bus plus we had on small backpack each on the bus.
