Luggage

Does Royal Caribbean have a program with JetBlue to drop off luggage at airport after cruise? Our flight home isn't until 4pm and I'm not sure what to do with luggage.

Looks like yes for JetBlue but only out of Pt Everglades and Pt Canaveral. I would double check with them as well just in case this changes before your sailing.

Last week we got off ship at 8:30am, took a taxi to FLL, dropped our bags for $7.00 per bag at the airport's bag storage dept (first door as you enter airport departures sections). This allowed us to store our carry-on's too. Then we took an Uber and had them drop us off at Ft Lauderdale Beach Park and we spent several hours on the beach, having lunch, shopping, etc... before returning to FLL for our 4:45pm flight. Great way to end our vacation! Cheaper than the RCI $25 per person charge for us.

Is this a new option and which terminal were you flying out of?

I am not sure if it is new or not. a Delta employee told us about it

Sorry, that didn't post well. The 1, 2,3, 4 prior to the 9am hours is the Terminal, each one has it. You had to show ID & a boarding pass for 1 passenger.

I would do a car rental and just keep the bags in there. I can't imagine going to a beach and then hopping on a plane without being able to shower!!

A day room at a hotel might be an option, too. Or, booking an earlier flight!

With luggage valet they also check you in and give you your boarding pass on the last night. No checking in at airport, just straight to TSA line. Not sure if it was just luck of the draw or what but both times with luggage valet we also got TSA pre check.
