Royal no longer offers this from Miami? How come?

I don't know, though I'd like to. I'm posting to mention on a prior cruise, we took an excursion that morning, and staff got us and our luggage off the ship and to the tour bus early, and the bus dropped us off at the airport. It wasn't was easy and convenient as Luggage Valet, and you need your flight departure time and excursion restrictions to line up, but this might still be worth your while. We did an Everglades airboat tour, and visited a place with an alligator show as part of it. Also makes one more memory for your vacation.

We haven’t been able to access/use luggage valet from MIA for at least 3 years if not four.

I've used it for my past three POM to MIA transfers, but current RCI website indicates it is not available for POM. Could it be related to POM terminal changes?

Luggage Valet is a service offered onboard which enables guests to bypass traditional airport check-ins. Guest who participate will be processed onboard the ship and receive their airline boarding passes, luggage tags as well as baggage claim checks for their checked-in luggage. 

Luggage Valet is offered at a minimal fee, plus the airline luggage fees. The per person fee is waived for guests staying in Grand Suites and above.

This service is available in these selected ports and airlines on 7 night sailings or longer:

Source? I believe they sometimes offer it from Terminal G but not from new Terminal A. Yet another issue that won't be settled until cruising starts again.

When Symphony arrived in Terminal A we have not been offered it. We were told there were looking for a provider for the service. For whatever reason, they did not find one over 3 full years.

Too bad not offered from Miami.  We fly Delta usually, from ft lauderdale and it is a wonderful service.  So worth it not to have to drag luggage to the airport.  Used about 12 times, never a problem.
