Can I check a stroller

[Nicnicnic.nic]

Can I check a stroller at the cruise terminal at the same time as our luggage to be brought to our room? I want to bring 2 strollers for lookout

You can. Just be aware the checked luggage is not handled gently. Bags/items are tossed around into a pile. I'd remove anything removeable (trays, etc.).

I believe it's @PrincessShmoo who has a luggage pile-up picture? Maybe she can post it and decide if you want to risk your stroller being at the bottom of that.

Someone used to have photos of the cages the porters toss the luggage into as well but I don't recall who.

Oh dear. I hadn’t seen these photos before. How did you happen upon this carnage? I will remember this the next time I pack for a cruise. Although knock on Pinocchio’s head, I’ve never had anything squished or broken.

Just walking down the various passageways onboard, I always have my camera in hand, ready to shoot anything I think is interesting.

Do you know if any of the bins are for organization (like “Bags for Deck 8”) or just for moving it between bus and ship? These photos make a good case for AirTags.

I believe they are just moving from drop-off to the ship. No order related to onboard location, just the order of passengers arriving. For bags coming from WDW, most likely by resort not by deck.

Pretty amazing logistics, when you think about it. Not to mention loading on food for that many people, particularly on the longer cruises. Thanks for the pics!

Slight edge to hard-sided luggage. Doesn't mean it couldn't crack, but it's theoretically more protected than soft-sided luggage.

That's the same way they are packed on an airplane.

Not denying that. Same caveat for slight advantage to hard sided luggage for protection.
