chamima Posted March 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Knew it was coming. We got off on the 9th - at least it didn't come back on the cruise immediately after ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Texed Posted March 31, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Luggage Valet is one service I really appreciate. Hopefully, it will be available on our April 7th Edge sailing. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanBound Posted March 31, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Curious how they handle the fees for "elite" frequent flyers who already get 1 or 2 bags free. I would hope there is a way to keep from being charged by Celebrity? It's not mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted March 31, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Celebrity only charges airline fees, if any, on your luggage. If you have no fees, there will be no additional charge. The $29 X charges is for the valet luggage handling only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted March 31, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) I used the luggage valet in Seattle on X and for whatever reason my bag never left the ship the day I did. I got it back on turn around day coincidently the same day I learned about and reached out to the X Exec Team. I'll share some details. 1) Use a tracking device like AirTags/Tile 2) If you want travel insurance to cover luggage valet, you need to tell the insurance company it is a 3rd party as they could wrongly assume luggage valet is part of X or the airline. The luggage valet company is a 3rd party contractor/vendor called Bags inc; therefore most travel insurances do not cover luggage lost by them. Furthermore, X wasn't particularly helpful when I tried to file an insurance claim because in my case they were silent just that basically "don't call us, we'll call you if it shows up" which was why I reached out to the exec team Edited March 31, 2023 by NutsAboutGolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcs5390 Posted March 31, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 31, 2023 This would have been amazing. We left Equinox on the 27th and had a lot of stuff. To confirm: it's $29 per person (on the reservation?) regardless of the number of bags checked? And, it's waived for all Retreat guests, including Sky Suites?

In the past I just wrote in on the form and when they did the luggage tag the airline responded no fee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you fill out the paperwork just indicate why you do not have to pay for luggage, frequent flyer, business class, etc. You will only be charged for the luggage valet fee, unless you are in a suite. They are strict about your flight time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the letter posted on this thread, the valet service for American Airlines Will cost us $30 + $40 + $150 for 3 bags. My total comes to $220, not free or any other number.

Please correct me 🙂 That’s what American Airlines charges—- that is not what the Valet service charges. And the American Airlines charges may or not be imposed depending on what the class of service you book, do you have American Airlines frequent flyer status, etc. Edited April 1, 2023 by Alakegirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
