Hotels FAQ

Question:

The airlines are no longer at the pier to accept luggage and issue boarding passes.  This is a thing of the past.  You have to hall your luggage to the airport now. The lockers are gone at the airport.  All of this is because of security concerns. The only real option is to book a tour from the cruise line, or haul your luggage with you through out the city. roland

Response:

last time I was in this situation I rented a car.  Pick up from cruise dock, luggage fit in car, toured around for several hours then turned in at airport.  Total cost was a bout $25 more than normal transportation to the airport, and a whole lot less than taking cabs around all day or even a cruise line excursion.

Hi.  Our cruise will be over at 9 AM in Hololulu but our flight home is not until 10:30 that night.  We plan to spend the day sightseeing in the Waikiki area but are wondering what to do with our luggage since we don’t need a car or a room for that day.  Can we store it in the cruise terminal for the day and pick it up later on that evening on our way to the airport?  Will NCL forward it to the airline to hold?  Many thanks to anyone who knows the solution. I’m sure it must be a common problem for cruisers.

Response:

Hi Several years ago we had the same problem. Flights to the mainland leave at 9 PM or later. We asked the cruise line for advice and they told us arrangement necessary to have it stored at the cruise terminal. Everything worked out fine. Van in Texas

Contact your NCL agent for info.  He/she should be able to help you.  If you didn’t arrange your air through NCL, alternatively you might explore local museums, and aquariums.  When I cruised out of Tampa, I found that for the price of a ticket, the local aquarium would store my luggage.   It may be so in Hawaii as well. —  To  email me, Edit "xt" from my email address.   Brian M.
