morfred Posted February 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We are sailing on the Edge out of Terminal 25. We are also in a suite. If you could help with some questions please. We are driving. Do we park in the middle parking garage? Do we drop off our luggage with all the other luggage or is there a different place for suites? I am assuming that we drop our luggage and then go park-Due to being older I hope that the walk is not too far We are planning on arriving about 11am to 11:30 and hope that there will be plenty of parking. I have searched other posts but get conflicting information. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Here's a couple answers - You drop your luggage with normal checkin unless you are in a RS and above then they have a special drop off. I would definitely drop luggage and then park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is right by the front door and a sign that says "SPECIAL DELIVERY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhdhd Posted February 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We were in a Sky Suite in December and dropped our luggage with the suite dropoff people. It's near the entrance, where you will then be guided to a different set of elevators. You will park in the Midport Garage; there will be plenty of spaces. But the entrance to the terminal is on the opposite end of the building from where you will exit the garage, so it's a bit of a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted February 22, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I was in a sky suite last fall and dropped my luggage with the suite porters. It's a bit of a hike from the garage back to the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm confused. We'll be boarding again in two weeks (yay!); I'll let you know if we are able to drop off in the suite area. In December, they checked our cabin off the list they had, so I guess Sky Suites are on the list for suite dropoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor G Posted February 22, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I, too, have been in a Sky Suite and dropped off my luggage (and my body) in the suite check in spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted February 22, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Is the suite checkin spot/porters different than the "Special Delivery" area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm confused. I guess it depends on the porters. I had a heck of a time in a RS dropping my luggage - kept sending me in different directions so finally just dropped with the first porter I saw and still got my luggage quickly.

morfred Posted February 22, 2020 Author #17 Share Posted February 22, 2020 OP here. Thanks for the help. I looked at a Google map of the port and I still can"t tell how long of a walk it is from the garage to the ship. I think that I will be fine dropping off the luggage and walking back to the ship. My big concern now is getting OFF the ship. Do we have to carry all of our luggage back to the garage and if so is that doable for most people?- Or can one of us pick up the car and come back for the luggage? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don’t think the walk is all that long between the garage and pier. I’d say less than a city block. Definitely drop off your luggage, then park. There will be multiple people directing cars and it’s well-marked. We usually just wheel the luggage to the garage if it’s a short cruise. You walk out when you exit the terminal closer to the garage. But it’s possible to get a porter who will take you all the way to your car - and, of course, tip well.

Caribbean Chris Posted February 22, 2020 #19 Share Posted February 22, 2020 As far as enough parking, we usually get there around the same time frame of 11 to 11:30, and have not had a problem finding a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The distance is approximately 800-1,000 feet. Yes one of you can pick up the car and come back to pick up luggage and other passenger.

Thanks Our last trip we had 4 in our group, 2 who were less agile. We dropped luggage and 3 passengers off and DH parked in the garage. When we returned, the porter took the luggage all the way to the parking garage. We tipped well! When it's just my DH and myself, we usually have one suitcase and one roll-aboard each and it's not too far for us to wheel our own bags to the garage. When we were in the sky suite, we dropped near the door and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafig Posted February 23, 2020 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2020 We're driving and in a Sky Suite. Where should we park the car to drop our luggage off (before parking). You know what a crowded mess that area can be, we don't want to be wandering around looking for the right place to drop our bags with our car still running. Or.....is it perhaps better to just park taking our luggage with us? Tell me what you did.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 23, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Personally I would just drop bags at first porter you see without a line and then park the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
