Earliest I can drop bags at POM?

[cruiseat50]

We are flying into FLL early (6:00 am) 12/17 and I have decided to book a hotel in Fort Lauderdale so I will book with Budget to have a car for the day.  My plan is to drop our bags off at POM then drop the car off at the closest Budget Office and take an Uber to POM.  I think they have a shuttle from here but I'm not good at waiting around so if it's going to be a while...  So my question is... What is the earliest I could drop my bags at POM we are on NCL Pearl?  I think I found the closest Budget office at 89 SE 2nd St which is about 10 minutes from POM near the Intercontinental.

 

TIA for any info.

We have dropped bags off as early as 9:00 AM.  The porters will be busy still offloading guests but you can find one to take your bags.

You will likely not be able to board the ship until about 11:00  or after - not sure I understand why you want to drop bags off early and then sit around for a couple of hours? 🙄

Thank you Keith,  that's what I was thinking but wanted to see what other's experience has been.

 

It's not that I want to sit around for hours I just wanted to find out when I can drop the bags off.  If I get there 9:00-9:30 take the car to rental agency have them do their thing, get an Uber back to the port it will be about 10:00ish.  We are in a suite so we will have a nice area to wait for about a little less than a hour.

Sounds like a plan!  Have a great cruise!
