I need a little more help please. We are doing the land/sea package and are confused about the luggage tags. Do we place them on our luggage before we leave home or after our land portion?

We are using DCL transfers from the airport to the resort and the resort to the ship and we need to know if we should retreive our own luggage at MCO when we arrive in FL. then proceed to the DCL desk to get on the bus to the resort, or will they transfer our luggage from the airport to the resort for us with out us handling the luggage? Then, after our resort stay, do we attach the tags so they can take the luggage to the ship?

We are clear in understanding how to get the luggage from the resort room to the ship. We just don't want our luggage gettting on the ship while we are at the resort.

I am so confused!!??!!:confused: Thanks for your help!!
 
If you booked a Land/Sea package including the transfers, they should transfer your bags from the airport to the resort. Are you coming in on the first day of the land package, or arriving the night before? My understanding is that if you're arriving during the day the package begins (i.e. the check-in day for the resort), you should put the tags on your bags before checking them at your home airport, so they can be transferred to the resort for you. Make sure that you call the cruise line and let them know your flight info if you didn't book air through them.

I've never actually booked land and sea together, so I don't know for sure, but in all of my cruise docs, there has been a page which specifically tells when to put the tags on the bags and whether they need to be claimed by us. Check in your docs, I think the instructions are on the page just preceeding the tags themselves.

We always arrive the night before a cruise, so our docs tell us the claim our bags at MCO, then put the tags on them the morning of the cruise.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks Lloyd Dobler, I was pretty sure they would handle our luggage for us once we got to MCO. That's one less thing to worry about! Thanks for your quick response.

We are arriving the first day of the package so we will lose a little "park time" that first day. But we land in FL around 11:00 a.m. so the whole day won't be a total wash.

After reading the boards, if we ever do the land/sea again, we will book each element separately. Wish I would have known this BEFORE we booked this trip.

Oh well, you live, you learn. Best thing is .. I'm Going to Disney World!!! YEAH!!!!!:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc
