duegwb Posted February 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am thinking of doing the Luggage Valet program on my cruise this summer on the IOS. Does anyone have a recent copy of the form from RCI? I just want to be able to have it all filled out before I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanatochase Posted February 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Does anyone have info on the luggage valet policy from Port Canaveral (Freedom of the Seas) to the Orlando airport? What I need to know is there a cutoff time for your flight? The valet form for FLL airport says flights between 11:30 - 6 p.m. Is it the same time frame for Orlando airport???

setsail Posted February 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Port C answer is in this thread'- noon 6pm time is for southwest, others are 1159pm Edited February 10, 2015 by setsail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanatochase Posted February 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2015 So...if your flight is after 6p.m. with Southwest, you won't be able to use the luggage valet service ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted February 10, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I am thinking of doing the Luggage Valet program on my cruise this summer on the IOS. Does anyone have a recent copy of the form from RCI? I just want to be able to have it all filled out before I get there. Recently when participating in the luggage valet program I have filled out the form on my room TV screen - no paper form. You just typed in all the information and submitted the form. This was on the Oasis last year, and Allure in 2012. They do have the paper forms available at guest services, but it is easy to do on the TV and when you are just sitting in your cabin you have all the information at your finger tips - your flight number, times, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son3cruisers Posted February 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That is correct if you are flying from FLL. So just to clarify... That is JUST Southwest Airlines out of FLL after 6 pm RIGHT? We are flying with Jetblue with a 6:35 pm flight and were really hoping to use the valet service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_G Posted February 11, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2015 No, I meant being able to do it from the TV instead of going to guest services. If it does, we couldn't find it so we just submitted the paper version. on Independence, the interactive TV isn't as interactive as the newer ships.

fscher Posted February 11, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 11, 2015 100% sure. Rccl refunded my 20.00 and THEY found it in warehouse a few days after airline couldn't find it. Airline showed they had it because of luggage tag number issued at midnight, but luggage was never given to them. It was taken off ship, but stayed in warehouse. It was sent back via UPS (or fedex), not via airlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv4cruises Posted November 2, 2015 #22 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Does RCI ever make exceptions. The Southwest window just opened for our 5/2016 Allure sailing. I was up a good part of the night trying to book flights for 6 family members . Most afternoon flights were "not avaiable" at the cheaper fares. So we had a choice 11:10 am or 7:25 PM. We always use luggage valet. Other airlines were too expensive at this time. This cruise more than ever it would be important as we are traveling with 2 toddlers. When I returned from my Oasis cruise in September disembarkation and customs were a nightmare- worst in 34 cruises! We had luggage valet! Needless to say I am very concerned about our May Allure cruise! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

setsail Posted November 2, 2015 #23 Share Posted November 2, 2015 After 34 cruises you know getting off the ship can be a PITA or not, part of cruising. Looks like you will have to collect your luggage this time, get a porter, they are a big help, or do a walk off with your luggage if you can manage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's not up to RCI to make exceptions but rather Southwest when using Luggage Valet. It's the airlines that set the time restraints on your departing flight. You would not be able to find this out until once on board. Edited November 2, 2015 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk off early without your bags. I'd totally go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
