baggage at port terminal

[karolm]

When you check your bags at the port terminal can you have them locked or do they need to be unlocked?

after you get them from the airport lock them. If they have a problem when Xraying your bags they will call you to open them.

Locked.. best advice from this site is to use the plastic hand cuffs I call them.. incase they have to cut them off.. easy to replace..

We use the TSA locks for flying and leave them on for pier check-in.

The cruiselines actually recommend that you have the bags locked.:)

Yes, Carnival (for instance) says to make sure your luggage is locked before handing it over to the porters at the pier, as well as when leaving in the hall for debarkation.

I use the plastic wire ties..get bright colors and put two different ones one each zipper that you want sealed on the bags....TSA can cut off if they want to check bag...

 

I then keep an old nail clipper with exta ties in an outside pocket(unzip locked) of the bag in case I need to open. On the my last cruise the staff member that brought the bags to the cabin asked if I wanted the ties removed, he had clippers in his pocket. Guess people must ask them to do open or go looking for scissors.

LOCKED... And it's also especially important to make sure you have them locked when you leave them outside of your cabin the night before disembarkation - People have had things go missing then.
