@lifewithoutboundaries: First-time cruiser? Here’s what actually happens with your luggage at the port: When you arrive, you’ll see a line of porters outside the terminal. Before you hand anything over, make sure your luggage tags are printed and attached. If you didn’t print them ahead of time, don’t stress — you can grab them at the port and fill them out right there. Once your bags are tagged, hand them to the porters (and yes, I do recommend tipping). From there, you won’t see your luggage for a few hours. Delivery can take anywhere from 2–3 hours to later in the afternoon depending on the ship. The good news? You don’t have to lug anything around the ship — your bags will be delivered right outside your stateroom door at the designated time. Smooth start, easy boarding 💚🛳️ Follow for more first-timer cruise tips! #cruise #cruisetips #firsttimecruiser #travelagent

No no no no. The tip is to ACTUALLY TIP the hard working bag handlers $5 per bag and you GUARANTEE your bags will be there and be there early. That’s the tip. Either way don’t be a cheapskate and tip those porters. They work hard!

We always keep our bags. It was 7pm once before we got our bags on our first cruise ever because no one told us different. Keep them, and set them in front of your room if your rooms not finished. Lock the bags. Keep your tag on the bags the cruise line provides in a waterproof cruise tag (on Amazon cheap)

No you print out your tickets at home ahead of time. So you don’t have to wait in the long line to print them

The shuttle dropped our bags at the wrong ship before our ship stop 😳😳 literally had to circle back and walk 5 miles past traffic and beg the other porters to go find our bag.

the tip should be, print those out and put them on your bag before your drop it off with the porter. And TIP the porter for his hard work, moving those bags
