allison61 Posted March 16, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I didnt get a response earlier so thought i would rephrase I was thinking about doing a little sightseeing in Fll prior to embarking. I would like to drop off my luggage at the ship early am and then check in around 3:00. Has anyone ever done this and how early would I be able to drop off my luggage with the porters?

GoinCruisin Posted March 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've dropped my luggage off around 10:30-11:00 with no problems... you will have a hard time too much earlier than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydecocruiser Posted March 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Another option might be to check with hotels in the area - some will store it - often just for a tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allison61 Posted March 16, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Both are good ideas. It never occured to me to just leave it at the hotel (holiday inn express) which is only a block from the port. thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACURN Posted March 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yeah Hotels are pretty good about doing that. I think I'd feel better about it that dropping it off at the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittybork Posted March 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2006 We dropped our luggage off pretty early: about 9:00; it was not a problem. This was in Galveston. You just need to find a porter, give him a tip, and go exploring. Everything will be ready and waiting for you when you're ready to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenjello Posted March 17, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 17, 2006 we dropped our luggage off early in port canaveral, we sailed with a group of 26 and about 1/2 of us stayed at the Radisson the night before. Rather than deal with all the luggage on the shuttles, my husband and I loaded up the (rented) SUV and dropped off everyone's luggage before we returned the car at Avis. They all got on the Radisson's shuttle, we took Avis', and meet them back at the pier. There were several small children in our group so it was easier to do this than deal with strollers, car seats, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
