This depends on your destination and whether you’re travelling on a chartered or a scheduled flight. Not sure which one applies to you? You can find out here
We like to make things as easy as possible for you, which is why we’re pleased to offer our seamless service known as ‘bonded baggage.’ On selected Caribbean chartered flights, this service means that once you’ve dropped your luggage off at the airport, you won’t see it again until it’s outside your cabin. Just make sure all your bags have the P&O Cruises luggage label attached before you check in at the airport and we’ll do the rest.
Please also ensure you have sufficient items in your hand luggage for arrival into Barbados / Antigua (for example, medication or fresh set of clothes) as luggage may not be delivered to your cabin until late in the evening and you may wish to enjoy the ships facilities prior to your luggage arrival.
Scheduled flights are a little different but our representatives will be on hand to make sure the process is just as seamless for you. On a scheduled flight, after arriving at your destination, you’ll need to pass through immigration, collect your luggage from Baggage Reclaim then head to Arrivals. If you booked your flight through P&O Cruises and are arriving on the day of sailing (or you’ve booked a hotel through us) one of our representatives will meet you and give you instructions on joining your coach transfer to the cruise terminal.
If you’ve arranged your own flights or are planning to get to your starting destination a few days before you sail, then you’ll need to organise your own transport to the cruise terminal.
Baggage arrangements for your flight back to the UK will be confirmed during your cruise. Your baggage is collected from outside your cabin the night before you disembark.
Luggage weight
On fly-cruises, both the charter and scheduled flight luggage restrictions vary, but are usually between 20kg and 23kg per person. Log into my.pocruises.com and visit the Flights page to view your air carrier baggage allowances. Please note that if your airline allowance is greater than 23kg, we ask that no individual item of luggage weighs more than 23kg, in order to be safely handled by the ship’s crew and airline baggage handlers.
