What does 'Bonded luggage mean, and how does it work?
If your cruise is sailing from the Caribbean, your luggage is transported as part of our bonded luggage service. This means you don’t need to collect your luggage at your arrival airport, as it will be delivered directly to your cabin. So, once you step off the plane, head straight to your coach transfer to the ship.
If your cruise does have bonded luggage, then we’ll notify you of this in your booking confirmation. This may be unavailable at certain times so please check your paperwork prior to travel. You must ensure that the luggage label available to you 14 days before travel is secured to your luggage. Once you’ve checked it in, it’ll be security sealed and transported for you.
Please note this is just for anyone travelling to the Caribbean on a TUI flight.
Anyone flying with another airline or to another destination will need to collect their cases and bags from the allocated luggage carousel in arrivals and proceed to the coach transfer to the ship.
