Your luggage will typically arrive in your cabin within a few hours after you board the ship, but the exact timing can vary. Here’s what to expect:
🧳 General Luggage Delivery Timeline
-
Luggage is usually delivered between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM on embarkation day.
-
Delivery continues throughout the afternoon, and in rare cases, some bags may not arrive until dinnertime or early evening.
📦 How It Works:
-
At the terminal, you’ll hand off your checked luggage to porters.
-
Your bags are loaded onto the ship, sorted by stateroom number, and delivered directly to your door.
-
You don’t need to be in the room for delivery—bags will be left just inside or outside your cabin.
💡 Tips to Make It Easier:
-
Pack a carry-on with essentials, including:
-
Medications
-
Cruise documents and passports
-
A swimsuit, sunscreen, and flip-flops (if you want to hit the pool early)
-
A change of clothes or anything needed before dinner
-
-
Use the official luggage tags provided by the cruise line to ensure proper routing.
🚫 Possible Delays:
-
Security may hold bags temporarily if they contain restricted items (e.g., irons, alcohol, or power strips).
-
If your luggage hasn’t arrived by 6:00 PM, call Guest Services or speak with your cabin steward.
