POSTED ON ANOTHER THREAD THIS MORNING _ JAN. 25, 2017

 

Luggage Valet is a departure service option that streamlines the seaport-to-airport process. Luggage Valet is offered at a minimal fee, plus the airline luggage fees.

 

In 2016, due to the Living Wage Ordinance in Ft. Lauderdale and Seattle, we were forced to discontinue Luggage Valet onboard Celebrity Cruises. However, we are happy to announce that an agreement has been reached with the vendor which will allow us to re-launch the program across all vessels debarking in FLL, MIA and SEA.

 

Other criteria for eligibility:

  • You must be flying on the entirety of the journey with the same air carrier.
  • Your flight needs to be the same day of ship’s arrival.

 

The per person fee is waived for guests staying in Celebrity Suites and above (Sky Suites NOT included). Any applicable airline baggage fees will still be collected.

 

This service can only be purchased onboard the ship.

 

Guests who participate can check their luggage and receive their airline boarding passes and baggage claim checks before leaving the ship. When they arrive at the airport, they can avoid check-in lines at the airport and proceed directly to the security checkpoint. Luggage Valet is ideal for guests who wish to simplify their transition from one of our ships to the airport. It’s also an easy way for guests who have a late flight to spend the day enjoying a land-based tour or shopping, with only the luggage they plan to carry onto the plane later.

 

Note: Guests do not have to use our transfers in order to participate in the program, however, their flight must NOT be earlier than the earliest flight time listed for our transfers. For example, if our transfer specifies that the earliest flight time is 11:30 AM, then the guest's flight must be at 11:30 AM or later. It cannot be earlier due to the time needed for the luggage to be inspected by Customs and Border Protection, tagged and transported to the airport for check-in.

 

Cost: Luggage Valet fee is $25 per person.

 

Celebrity Cruises will re-launch the Luggage Valet program in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale on the following ships/saildates:

 

  • Celebrity Eclipse 1/8/17
  • Celebrity Equinox 1/20/17
  • Celebrity Reflection 1/21/17 - soft launch, pending delivery of additional valet tag inventory
  • Celebrity Silhouette 1/22/17

 

Airline baggage fees are applicable and will be collected onboard. These fees will be added on to the guests' SeaPass accounts.

 

The airlines have exemption rules for certain guests. This is different for each airline, and those guests that qualify will be exempt from the baggage fees. They will only pay the $25 p/p service fee for using the Luggage Valet program.

 

GOSH, we were told that Celebrity had stopped luggage valet. This is current? Please let us know! If this is true, we are going to celebrate!

 

 

Check the date on that form. January 2017

This is just fantastic news! Thank you so much for posting this today and I will share with my roll call for April 24 Equinox Jazz Fest Cruise!

 

We originally wrote a letter to Celebrity letting them know how sad we were that valet service was discontinued (along with many others) so this is great! It's my birthday today and I just told my husband that this was a wonderful gift of news. Thank you!

 

What we are hoping is that it would still apply to us since we are disembarking in Miami but flying home from FLL. Does any one know? We can call Captain's Club.

 

Thanks again!

I believe it's been mentioned that it is only on Eclipse for now. Many are hoping it's a trial run and will be successful.
