Emilady Posted May 24 #1 Share Posted May 24 We will be at the port early for our Reykjavik departure on July 26 Around Iceland. Does anyone know how early they can hold luggage for later check in? There does not appear to be any luggage storage available close by. This is our first time on Windstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudgesmom Posted May 26 #2 Share Posted May 26 I believe they do not take any luggage before check in. I think people are busy getting the ship turned and ready. Your hotel can hold your luggage after check out until you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwifruit Posted May 26 #3 Share Posted May 26 I can’t speak for the port of Reykjavik but earlier this year we took a Windstar cruise from Auckland where the bag drop was manned at 10.30am which was well before actual check in opened. This gave us the opportunity to catch up with friends for lunch unencumbered by luggage so much appreciated. Although ill advised, there are often travelers who fly in early on the morning of the cruise so the cruise lines are used to passengers turning up well before check in opens and I’ve generally found they provide some facility for early bag drop. As to how early, I suspect that differs between cruise lines and differs from port to port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strenz Posted May 28 #5 Share Posted May 28 If you stay in a hotel, the night before, we stayed at the Borg, they will hold your bag for you, pick up before you go to the ship. Great location it is about a 5 minute walk to port, if you carry light no problem to roll it. I have never been in a hotel that will not safely store your bag until you need it. Have a great cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doh15 Posted June 12 #6 Share Posted June 12 When we did the around Iceland cruise we arrived at a berth right in town but we left from a berth that was less convenient (we were on a bus from the blue lagoon so it took us fairly close, and then we had a 5 minute walk or so from where it let us off).

Emilady Posted June 12 Author #7 Share Posted June 12 Thank you for the input. I will just have to see how it goes as storing luggage at the airport or a hotel is not an option under our circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev8876 Posted June 13 #8 Share Posted June 13 We’re on the August 9th sailing and in the same situation. We called Windstar. The phone rep said that although we couldn’t check in until 1pm, there would be people to take our luggage early. We sure hope that’s true as then we’ll be able to go into town before check in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilady Posted June 13 Author #9 Share Posted June 13 Thank you. That is hopeful. Have a wonderful time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchpetra Posted June 20 #10 Share Posted June 20 I just checked with Windstar as I also will be in Reykjavik much earlier than the boarding time. I was told Windstar DOES NOT allow early luggage drop off/ storage for security reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
