On another thread it was brought to our attention that there is a service called US Direct that allows cruise passengers to send the luggage ahead to the Vancouver air port thus expediting the return trip form an alaskan cruise..

http://www.portvancouver.com/vanAlaCruise/...s/usDirect.html

I called Celebrity and they insist this is only for embarking cruisers.. and not availible for disembarking guests....the web site stipulates both are availible....has anyone actually used this service leaving a cruise ship heading back to the United States?

We haven't used the service, since we embarked from Vancouver after spending a night in the city (and, anyway, Regent isn't a participant). From what we have read on the "critical" board, some cruise lines only particpate for embarking PAX. Others participate, but don't call it by the same name as the Vancouver Port Authority. Coming from the ship, cruise lines in the second category offer transportation directly to the airport, and transportation of baggage directly to the airport. That may give you the U.S. Diorect program, if your transportation is directly to the sealed , US-bound PAX only, section of the airport.

You may want to ask X if they have those two services. Usually, the services can only be booked on the ship, not in advance.

That explains why you have to wait until your onboard.
