mandream Posted February 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We chose a 2:00 checking for Oasis because there are things we'd like to do in Miami before we board. Are we still able to drop off our luggage at the pier early and come back later for check in? If so how early can we drop off? We used to do it around 9 or 10 (although that was on Celebrity). Thanks in advance, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yes...you can drop your luggage as early as they open. POM when we sailed from there I believe they started taking it as early as 8:30-9am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted February 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Anyone know if this possible in Galveston? We will be returning a rental car to Hobby airport and then taking a shuttle to the port. We'd like to drop off our luggage at the port before returning the car so we don't have to schlep our luggage around the airport getting to the shuttle.

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted February 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2022 You do realize Hobby is at least 45 min from the pier in Galveston. That a couple hours round trip just to drop off your bags….that would not be worth the time and gas to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fly into IAH 2 days before the cruise. We have a car rented at IAH. We drive the car to Galveston where we have a VRBO property rented for two days. Unfortunately, I could not find a one-way car rental from IAH to the Galveston port so I will return it to Hobby as opposed to IAH. We then take a shuttle from Hobby to the port. Yes, I realize it is 45 minutes from the port to Hobby and another 45 minutes back. With no car rental returns in Galveston, I think this is my best option. Do you know of a better option?

Or take a private shuttle to Galveston and rent a round trip car from there. Would not recommend doing drop off at Hobby, doesn’t sound like a good way to start a cruise. Thank you. Enterprise has no cars available on the dates I need the car. I will look into the shuttle to the port and renting round trip from the port.

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted February 20, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2022 With this scenario I think this might be your best option. It’s not a bad drive on the weekend early in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
