volk904 Posted February 13, 2023 #28 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Just my opinion but while we usually have at least 1 carry on bag flying down to cruises we usually just carry a back back or small carry bag boarding and check the rest with the porters. We just put valuables in the back pack and pool stuff if we are going to the pool. Why drag a suitcase around for 2 hours waiting for the cabin. Unlike a plan it is not like they are going to lose it Edited February 13, 2023 by volk904 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is very, very rarely. We always cross pack our suitcases, but if everyone felt the need to drag hordes of luggage onboard checkin and security would take hours. Not to mention that Celebrity cruisers tend to be of older age (as am I for the record) and frankly can't handle schlepping that much luggage around, especially when packing for longer cruises. Have seen this happen tons of times on disembarkation day when they attempt to do walkoff. It's a mess.

davekathy Posted February 13, 2023 #33 Share Posted February 13, 2023 No way would we be dragging our luggage thru security. Three checked pieces (26 inch each) plus a small carry on each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda assuming it was the ship...) Took a Celebrity transfer from the airport to the pier. Went to guest services in the evening to inquire about the "delayed" luggage and recognized everyone from the same transfer bus on line. That's when my heart sank. Somehow the driver dropped us off at one terminal and our luggage at a different one. This was with my wife and three, at the time, pre-teen daughters, so imagine my fun. We wore Celebrity T-shirts to formal night. The luggage chased us around the Caribbean arriving at various ports. I think we got the last bag on day 4. We spent our port day in Old San Juan buying clothes and personal items. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were roaming the ship for hours with no sea pass cards? They don't stop you from going to your cabin right away anymore. They ask that you don't stay there but you can grab your card and drop your luggage. This goes back to even pre-covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember when it changed, but this procedure has been in place for at least 4 years. I think @Guppy99 just misunderstood the stateroom access.
