We will be on that sailing too!
Can you let us know what other resorts you went to and what time you got to the port? Have a great cruise!Leaving Poly lobby today at 9:45am. Luggage pick up is supposed to be @7am so very soon
Can you speak more to your experience and why you felt it was poor? We are sailing in 2 weeks and trying to decide if we book private transport or take bus from Poly. We are boarding group 2, so really want to be there by our PAT.
Yes. It goes in a van. You can not bring your luggage. They will not allow you to get on the bus with it. It’s carry on bags only.
It’s a long story, will try to keep it short. Our resort loaded the bus early. They went next door for a second pickup and said it would be no more than 5 minutes. It took probably 20 minutes sitting in the driveway. The bus left there, was literally seconds away from getting on the highway to leave property (at the light waiting to turn left) and the driver announced the bus was turning around to go back to the resort to pick up a passenger that had lost and now found their passport. It took about 10 minutes to then drive to a place just to turn the bus around. Got back and no one was ready to board the bus. Sat there at another 15-20 minutes waiting before a large group got on and then proceeded to complain about having to sit at the back. Ummm…maybe you should apologize to everyone one the bus. By the time we got to the port we were over 2.5 hours on the bus. Then just to make it even better once arriving at the port I think they anticipated some unhappy people so they walked the whole bus directly through security. Great, but they made everyone in the line step aside which caused some nastiness.
Oh that would be a HUGE deal to me. I'm booking a private car!
To elaborate as I think the luggage statement isn't quite clear, you can bring your luggage onto the bus but you then have to carry it onto the ship, if you want your luggage delivered to the room you have to do the 7am or whatever drop off time. I do not trust dropping off my luggage at all so I always go on the bus with my carry on size roller bag luggage (goes under the bus) and a backpack.
ONLY if you have carry-on sized luggage. Large suitcases must be checked and cannot be brought onto the ship yourself.
I doubt we would do the bus from a resort again. I don’t feel like it’s a common occurrence but as I said, in our circumstances time matters.
They will not accept large checked bags on the bus. They only take carry on sized bags.
It went directly to the port, no other resorts.
