martyap Posted February 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We have a late flight and we indicated such when we filled out the online check in. We have something to attend to before flying home from FLL and prefer to get off in one of the first groups. Is it fairly easy to just request this preference on board through guest services? Do they honor such a request? We know we can keep our luggage and simply get off ourselves. We are on Deck 8 on the Allure and will each have one regular sized bag. If it is fairly easy to maneuver we could do it but we have read getting an elevator and dragging your own luggage might be problematic.

bambione Posted February 13, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I just got off the LOS and had gone to guest services to request an earlier tag number. I was told the only way to get off earlier was by carrying off my luggage. But maybe you will have better luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dplusd Posted February 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We love self-disembark and while elevators can be a problem we just get an early start to get situated on the right deck. When we have used the luggage tags in the past, the GS desk was always accommodating in changing us to another more convenient time. But, the earliest way to get off the ship is to take your own luggage off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems simple but the simple things always present the largest problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball fan Posted February 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I did this on the Jewel in Nov. My stateroom attendant was able to get me earlier tags. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 13, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2017 About midway through the cruise, they will ask all of those with early flights to tell them....so do that! Then, you'll be in an early group off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We were on Allure 1/29 (not the week before) and witnessed Self Disembarkation taking place at 730. It might have started earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have started earlier. Is it possible to use the elevators at 7:30 to self disembark with our luggage or are they just too crowded? That would be the easiest but taking them down stairs or escalators would be a little difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say that as well, never had it asked during a cruise in 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
