Yeah I've done a 12 nighter on the QM2 and i don't recall being able to go straight to our cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnoliaBlossom Posted November 13, 2022 #80 Share Posted November 13, 2022 We were on CCL in October and rooms were not ready until 2:00. on some ships NCL has a baggage drop, usually in a closed bar near the atrium, where you left your bags and got a ticket for them. Nice not to have them cluttering up passageways as people drug them around. I don’t believe they had one of the Star in August but as Diamonds we can drop off our bags in our room then head out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much luggage do you carry on? I take a backpack and it doesn't clutter up anything. 11 minutes ago, MagnoliaBlossom said: I don’t believe they had one of the Star in August but as Diamonds we can drop off our bags in our room then head out to lunch. I don't see that listed as a perk for diamonds. Do you get secret access to your cabin before the steerage crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted November 13, 2022 #82 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I’m planning on a backpack. And a drink. (A backpack and a few drinks.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted November 13, 2022 #83 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I do carryon only since RCCL dropped my bag into the Mississippi River some years ago. So DH and I each have a normal sized carry on. Our luggage is t the problem but you see people with enormous pieces of luggage and seemingly no awareness of their surroundings. Same hoes for self assist disembarking. no, the drop off is not listed but we’re told in the past that, then, platinums and above could do bag drop off. No one has ever told us otherwise.

victory2020 Posted November 14, 2022 #88 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think it's because NCL doesn't kick you out of your room by 8:30 like other cruise lines. I'm sure that can slow up the process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that can slow up the process In Boston the get-out-of your-room-time is 8:30 on the Boston-Bermuda-Bar Harbor run. The ship is empty by 9:30. Two weeks ago we checked in at 10:30 and were on the ship at 11:15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
