What to do with luggage?

7th October 2004, 05:43 PM

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.

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.

You can probably store it at the airport hotel, give them a call

Honolulu Airport Hotel
3401 North Nimitz Highway
Honolulu, Hawaii 96819
Ph: 808-836-0661
Fax: 808-833-1738

They have closed all the lockers at the airport.

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.

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.
