sleepless Posted May 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2016 What is the earliest and the latest you can book a flight, and still use the Luggage Valet service at the end of a cruise? I will be going on the Solstice to Alaska in July. I had used this service previously on Royal Caribbean, and loved it. Thanks. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetU2 Posted May 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I believe in Seattle it is 1pm and flight must be schedule that day so before midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted May 8, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Where do you disembark? Sorry, forgot to add that info. The cruise is starting and ending in Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted May 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2016 For some reason, I thought the earliest to use this in Seattle was 12:30. I planned my flight for 12:45 based on this so hope it is correct. Otherwise, guess I will just do it the old fashioned way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilcush1955 Posted May 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know off hand if Southwest is part of Luggage Valet via Seattle? And if so do they contact SW for reconfirm flt departure ? Edited May 9, 2016 by lilcush1955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasopa Posted May 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2016 We used the Luggage Valet last May in Seattle on The Solstice. Your flight had to be after 11:30am. Ours was 11:45 and we made it with ease. We were at the airport by 9am. We flew Southwest, they were NOT listed on the Valet sheet, but we were told to go ahead and fill it out and see what happened, and it worked fine.

SWA is part of the valet service for Celebrity with Seattle departures. We've done it twice in the past 2 years and are doing it again next week.

What's the best way to get to the airport if using this service? Our flight is at 1:45pm and we either want to hang around on board until they kick us off or get off early and do some more sightseeing before heading to the airport around 11:00ish. We don't really want to sit at the airport much longer than we have to before a five hour flight home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really want to sit at the airport much longer than we have to before a five hour flight home. The latest you can "hang around" is about 9 30 but I would not recommend doing so, it has been reported on here that Seattle Airport TSA's are VERY understaffed and to protest this they are staging a "work slowdown" and taking 30 seconds to a minute to screen each pax so wait times of 2 to 3 hours on cruise ship days are not uncommon....our flight is at 12: 15 and we are doing early walk off from the ship and headed straight to the airport....there is also rush hour traffic to deal with that morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted May 11, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 11, 2016 AND our luggage was the very 1st to make it to the luggage carousel in Dallas. Perfect....we used it in Fort Lauderdale and our luggage was the 7th bag on the belt. It just doesn't get better than this. thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Raider Posted May 11, 2016 #20 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi, sorry if this has been answered but I can't find it, what is the cost of this Service? Luggage valet is $20 pp -- only available at specified airports and airlines. Since it is per passenger, you can sign up for only one of you if you are only checking two bags. But, then you will have to check the other passenger in for the flight. If you have more than 2 bags or if you want both passengers checked in for the flight, it will be $40. We only had one bag last time and so only paid for one of us. I used the I-lounge to check myself in and printed my boarding pass out there.

We don't really want to sit at the airport much longer than we have to before a five hour flight home. We used Shuttle Express, it was $22 a person to the Airport. We made a reservation, but they have shuttles at the port, and when 1 gets several people on it, it leaves and another pulls up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a discount if you purchase in advance? Or is it the same price if you just grab one at the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djaye Posted May 17, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 17, 2016 There are two different areas on Celebrity's website which lists ports that are eligible for the luggage valet service. One lists Vancouver, one does not. So, I called Celebrity directly and was told that Vancouver is eligible for this service. I hope he was correct.
