It's about time.....

For the 2011 crusie season, cruise lines calling at Copenhagen port will soon be able to print airline boarding passes and check in luggage through to their final destination.

The initiative received approval from the Danish authorities earlier this month and is expected to see take up by cruise lines shortly.

This means that passengers can leave their bags outside their staterooms and the next time they see them will be when they arrive at the end of their flight. The idea is to maximise your time spent before returing home.
