Travel Kyoto to cruise ship at Maizuru 2017/2/25 20:10
There will be two of us departing a Kyoto hotel to embark on a cruise ship leaving from Maizuru port. We will have luggage with us and will be travelling on a Sunday in the middle of the high season for tourists. We have looked at catching the Ltd Express. Is this the best way to make this journey? If so, should we make a reservation and/or travel on a particular class of fare?

It would be my choice. The alternatives would be bus (http://www.kyotokotsu.jp/highway/course/maizuru-kyoto.html) and rental car.

For your comfort, I recommend you make seat reservations. And for added comfort, you can consider using the Green Car instead of ordinary seating. The basics are explained here:

Thank you for your very helpful suggestions. We will be carrying medium size luggage with us. So, is it better to store luggage on the train or the bus??

Medium sized luggage will not pose any problems on either train or bus.
