Shipping Golf Clubs to the USA

I am looking for a way to ship a set of Golf Clubs so that I can meet up with them in the US. In september I am off to Galveston for a week cruise before flying over to Orlando for another week. I don't want to have to take them with me to Galveston, keep them onbard the ship with me (have you see the size of those cabins?) and then carry them cross country by another flight.

Somewhere I saw an advert for specifically shipping golfclubs so you didn't have to transport them yourself.

Any ideas? I didn't really want to use Fedex or DHL as this is expensive.

Paul,

You can always send them as Unaccompanied Baggage with VS, link here.

You can [url=mailto:[email protected]]email them[/url] directly for a quote...?

Paul,which ship are you on and which type of cabin?

Depending on what you booked you would be amazed at what you can fit in the cabin.

I am on Rhapsody of the Seas and am actually in an Owners Suite (which is massive in comparison to some) but it is still quite a hassle.

For information Virgin have come back to me with a price of £102, which is expensive in my opinion.

Seems cheap compared to http://www.luggagefree.com/pricing.asp

there is plenty of room in the cabin for the clubs.When you come in the door there should be 2 closets to your left or right depending on which suite you have,these will hold a gold bag without a problem,also there is space between your couch and the doors to the balcony.

Just an idea,I know it's a hassel to drag the clubs with you,but it will be cheaper than sending them ahead.

Thanks for the advice on the room etc, but I think we may look to rent a set whilst out there (or I could always buy a new set....)

Thanks

Interesting timing, but VS have just issued a new offer with "First Luggage" for unaccompanied baggage.

Link is here, but needs logging into FC to view.

They don't look too cheap, in fairness, but do offer door to door. Full price list is here
