One more question about the transfer I'm wondering about, even though my cruise is still a ways off.

For my bag that I want to carry on the ship, I assume it's best to have this with me on the bus, as opposed to in the luggage compartment? It will be a duffel bag. I ask this because a friend of mine went on a cruise out of Puerto Rico. They gave all their luggage to the bus driver, and all of it ended up getting checked at the pier.
