Free World Cruise luggage transfers?

Are these transfers to /from airport for cruiser too or just bags?

Yes, in the past, there were free transfers from airport to pre-night hotel before the cruise along with any luggage you have.  They also did free luggage delivery from your house before the cruise. But, in ATW 2019 in New York City, our free transfer never came because our flight got delayed.  So, we ended up taking a taxi and got reimbursed on the ship as a cruise credit.  Given the policies are always changing, what was given in the past may not hold true in the present.  So, check the current benefits given before booking.

On the 24 ATW, the luggage is picked up and delivered back to your residence.  There are transfers from the airport to the pre cruise hotel and then from the pre-cruise hotel to the ship.  On the return, there are transfer from the ship to the airport.  This is for those taking the free first class air from Oceania offered for ATW

@zoncom Free luggage — assuming you are asking about the 50 pound x 2 bags per person — is picked up from your home and delivered to your cabin on the ship.  Once these bags leave your house you do not see them again until you embark the ship.  Similarly, on the way back, the delivery is from ship to home.  This is for all world cruisers on for the 180 or longer voyage.  The luggage does not travel with you.  You call to schedule pick-up with the luggage comapany … ours was picked up approximately 2 weeks prior to embarkation and held for delivery on embarkation day.  You should receive info (through your travel agent if you used one) with phone number to call to schedule the pick up.

 

If you’re asking about the airport/hotel transfer for you and any bags you travel with to the embarkation port, I have a partial answer as we did not take the included air and traveled to the port city well in advance of embarkation and did not have transfer from the airport.  I would imagine that if you are using the included air, the transfer would be for bags and passengers.

 

On both ATWs, there were transfer services for bags and passengers from the included hotel to the ship on embarkation day.

On the 2022 ATW we received complimentary transfers from the ship to airport even though we did not book with Oceania for air.
