mmckm Posted October 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I did a seach and everything i found was about 5 years ago. At the end of our cruise we arrive in the Port of Fort Lauderdale. Does carnival offer luggage express to the Fort Lauderdale airport for South west airlines. I also read on my search that Southwest has a service from the port that you can check your bags at the port, do they still have this service also.

There was a form to fill out and they picked up your luggage from your cabin the night before and taken to the airport. You did not have to worry about it until you got off the plane. However, that was about 3 years ago. That was for Southwest Airlines. Edited October 10, 2014 by rwest898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwest898 Posted October 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Yes it was. If I recall it was something like $20.00 for them to do it. Our flight didn't leave until later so it was something good for us. Edited October 10, 2014 by rwest898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Cruiser_1 Posted October 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2014 We did it in May of this year from the Freedom at Port Everglades to FLL. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwjax Posted October 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2014 We did it in May of this year from the Freedom at Port Everglades to FLL. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Ditto!! :) No problems at all! SWA (and probably most others), and the baggage company providing the service seem to have it down pat! We watched the truck load up the LE luggage at the port from our balcony on the Freedom last May, while were waiting to debark the ship. They had the luggage all sorted out before loading and heading to the airport. We arrived back in JAX, and our luggage was waiting on the SWA belt when we reached the baggage area.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunkie103 Posted October 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Did it from FLL last year and we glad we did. Got off the ship in a torrential downpour and it was SO much easier to just grab a taxi without the luggage. The driver couldn't get to us soon enough when he saw we didn't have luggage because inspite of the covered waiting area everyone was getting soaked. Well worth the charge.

CruisinKelly Posted October 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes they still have it and it is still $20.00 per person. We did it on the Freedom on October 5th, 2014. It was well worth it, was wonderful to not deal with our bags until we were home. I did notice all four of our bags were checked by TSA, that was interesting but no cause for concern as nothing was in them that shouldn't have been.

okgirl Posted October 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We're on the Breeze in January from Miami, but we are flying into/out of FLL. I hope that LE is an option since it's such a cheaper flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is working now. I was really disappointed because it made everything so easy on the Dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted October 19, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We're going to use it in January, but since we're on SWA and you get 2 bags for free, if we only bring 2 bags, then would only have to have 1 person participate and it would only cost 20 instead of 40.
