Thanks for your input. We are booked for the ME, but our reservationist told us if we were uncomfortable with the fact that they take care of our luggage and we don't have to worry about it, we can opt not to use the tags they provide and gather our own luggage, ride the ME, and grab our luggage when we get to the hotel. Based on your feedback, sounds like it is a "no brainer."
