Others on here will correct me if I am wrong but I think that Barbados and Jamaica are bonded luggage. We are currently on Explorer 2 and on previous trips from Dubrovnik port the luggage was bonded but this trip we had to collect our suitcases from the carousel at Dubrovnik airport and take them to a van parked near to the transfer coaches which then took them to the ship. Hope you enjoy your cruise 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy your cruise 😉 Just arrived home from Dubrovnik. for the return journey we put our luggage outside our room late yesterday evening (Wednesday) and we picked it up at the baggage carousel at Birmingham airport. so bonded one way is how they are going this year. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted September 22, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Don't forget to sit on the left side of the coach from the airport and obviously the reverse on the way back. Great views 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
