badger1829 Posted March 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Does anyone know if this service is still being offered by Celebrity? It was great when we used it pre-pandemic. I did email and call Celebrity but I got no response or was transferred so many times, I was disconnected. The text below is from a very widely used travel agency but they could not answer if the service was still available. “Luggage Valet is a service offered to help make your return travels as carefree as your cruise. The last evening onboard, you can receive your airline boarding passes, luggage tags and baggage claim checks. The last evening onboard, simply place your checked bags outside your door. Celebrity will take care of the rest. From the ship, to your final destination airport - your luggage will be taken care of. And you won't wait in line at the airport for your boarding passes, because you'll already have them. Hassle-free travel. Designed for You. This service is available in select ports and with select airlines only. Ports: Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Miami, Port Canaveral, San Diego, San Juan, Seattle, Seward and Vancouver. Airlines: Air Canada, Air Tran, Alaska Airlines, American, Continental, Delta, Jet Blue, Southwest Airlines, United and US Airways. Airline participation varies by port. Consult the Guest Relations Desk onboard for specific port qualifications and additional information. An additional fee will apply” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The service has not been available since the resumption of cruising. From other threads a similar service is available in Seattle but provided by the port not Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger1829 Posted March 24, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Thanks much. We did enroll for our upcoming cruise from Seattle, but the FLL cruise port is not offering. Maybe they will bring it back sometime Edited March 24, 2022 by badger1829 Add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some of it is actually incorrect. Even before shutdown, it was discontinued years ago in San Juan. Not to mention that Celebrity doesnt sail from Port Canaveral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bye-seaya Posted March 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It wasn’t available at the time of our March 4th sailing (disembarking on March 13) on the EQ in FLL. I was hoping it would be available, but Guest Relations confirmed it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGBanks Posted March 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2022 We are on a tight flight @ 11:30 departing from Seattle and this will come in so handy for us ! The criteria is for flights leaving after 11:00 am. I've already checked into signing up for it and will definitely be using it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia100 Posted March 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I wonder why not at Ft Lauderdale?. Big airport and close to the port. A friend of mine on Princess out of FLL several weeks ago had the luggage valet service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut head Posted March 24, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If you use the service, can you still check additional luggage the next day at the airport the old fashion way at the counter/kiosk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger1829 Posted March 24, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Holland at Fort Lauderdale has it as well. Just not Celebrity or RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badger1829 Posted May 30, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The port of Seattle offers luggage valet, but so far Celebrity is not offering the service. Other cruise lines are offering it in various ports, but not Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 30, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 30, 2023 This may be in transition. it is offered in Seattle and there have been reports that at least one Celebrity ship is doing it out of Fort Lauderdale but the others are not yet. Now all of the ships except equinox have left Florida for the summer so we’ll have to wait to see what happens when they return next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted May 30, 2023 #16 Share Posted May 30, 2023 In Seattle, the service is not through Celebrity. The program is sponsored by the Port of Seattle. It is an excellent program. In Florida, it was not offered on our recent cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
