DCL Bus-do we use porters for luggage?

Just wondering.
I will be using the DCL transfers and curious about once we get to the port, do I have to remove luggage from bus to give to a porter, or will I not have to see luggage until later in the stateroom? Thanks.

Your luggage will be taken care of by Disney!

If you're arriving the morning of the cruise, DCL will actually claim your bags at the airport. You'll put the cruise line tags on them before you check them at your home airport, and you won't see them again until they're delivered to your stateroom. If you arrive the night before and stay near the airport, you'll check the bags when you check in for the bus. They'll handle the bags from there and deliver them to your room. They most likely will not even be on your bus. This should all be spelled out in your cruise documents when you get them.

At the end of the cruise, you can use a porter to help collect your luggage in the cruise terminal and get it out to the busses.

Definitely pay the few bucks for the porter at the end of the cruise. Not only will they grab your bags for you (who wants to carry them after a relaxing cruise), but more importantly, they will waltz you straight through the customs line. Chances are much higher that without the porter you could get stopped, questioned, and take longer. Porter = breeze through.
