Early baggage drop before cruise out of Seward???

[mjcatlvr]

Hello all,

Is there a possibility for our party to drop off luggage at the Seward port, NCL baggage check in then head out to hike to the Exit Glacier BEFORE stepping on board the cruise ship that departs at 9pm? I'm positive that this wouldn't work at an airport, but at every port we have been at it seemed that the "Luggage Grab" was disconnected from the actual check in.

If this isn't possible, could part of our party handle and check in all of the luggage (different cabins) and the rest carry on with the hike?

Embarking late July NCL Jewel.

Thank you in advance for any advise.

While many passengers will arrive later on the Alaska RR chartered transfer, our experience has been that the luggage handlers will be available all day.  I think you will be able to drop off your luggage before your plans to go to Exit Glacier.
