It has never been a per cabin charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 'early bird' to get a group A boarding assignment to make sure there are overhead bin spaces for our carryons. And decent seat selection. 1.) Before trip, I got the usual Southwest e-mail in advance letting me know I could check-in online in advance. 2.) Signed up for Luggage Valet 1st day it was offered, which was quite early in the cruise. 3.) Was told it'd be the last day before arrival before I got confirmation; worse, it was late into the evening. But it basically worked. 4.) Onboard, having Internet service via Royal, I did not get an advance e-mail from Southwest reminding me check in online starting 24 hours before departure of the plane, got my boarding passes from Luggage Valet, as I didn't check-in online for the return, and our boarding group was still group A (albeit farther back in group A). Just in case it helps. Why would you get a reminder to ck in if you already had early bird? Having luggage valet had nothing to do with your boarding number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drrich2 Posted August 18, 2019 #30 Share Posted August 18, 2019 On 7-23-19, I got an e-mail fro Southwest that included a 'Check In' yellow button and beside that said "Please note you will only be able to check in within 24 hours prior to your scheduled departure." Within 24 hours of anticipated departure, I logged on this way and checked in. Despite having Early Bird. We flew to Ft. Lauderdale Saturday July 27th, and boarded the ship Sunday July 28th. On our return, I never got an e-mail like that. I don't know how it typically works; we've been blessed to cruise about once per year and not always where Luggage Valet was a workable option. But I thought the discrepancy was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to check in if you already have paid for early ck in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
