Cop J Posted December 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just wondering if I am allowed to bring the big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I know some airlines don't allow you to bring certain sizes so I was unsure about carnival. I will be on the Carnival Pride on Jan 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tapi Posted December 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just wondering if I am allowed to bring the big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I know some airlines don't allow you to bring certain sizes so I was unsure about carnival. I will be on the Carnival Pride on Jan 2nd. You're NOT allowed to bring your own shampoo and conditioner! You're supposed to use the one provided by Carnival and have dry, stringy, wire hair for the entire cruise! Seriously speaking, not only are you allowed to bring your own shampoo and conditioner, I HIGHLY recommend it! As you can tell from what I wrote above, the stuff provided by Carnival is not the best quality. On our last cruise, every time we saw someone walking by with super frizzy hair, we would joke around saying: "Yep, I bet she just used Carnival shampoo...! :D" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okwriter Posted December 27, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yep, you are allowed to bring those items if you really want to. The shampoo and body wash Carnival provides are adequate while you cruise. We did bring a small (hotel size) bottle of conditioner, since that wasn't provided. ENJOY!

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted December 27, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Okay sounds good, thanks! Just make sure they are in your checked luggage not carry-on because if it is more than a certain amount it will be confiscated. Better still, go to a drugstore when you arrive in the departure city and buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cop J Posted December 27, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So if it's in your carry on it has to be a certain size but if it's in your checked luggage it's fine to have any size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmorg Posted December 27, 2010 #8 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So if it's in your carry on it has to be a certain size but if it's in your checked luggage it's fine to have any size? Only if you're flying. There are no size limitations for Carnival's carry-ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no clue where the poster got that info .. he must be thinking of soda and wine? Or the poster is thinking you mean onto the plane .. nothing to do with cruising. It can be any size. I try to put it in smaller bottles just to lighten the load. You can bring anything you like in regards to shampoo and conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbyjane56 Posted December 27, 2010 #10 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yep. You can bring anything you want. You can bring what you want, but put it in your checked baggage if you are flying, better yet if you get there a day early buy it when you get there, otherwise it will be taken away from you and you wont get it back (should you fly with more than 3-4 oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted December 27, 2010 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just wondering if I am allowed to bring the big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I know some airlines don't allow you to bring certain sizes so I was unsure about carnival. I will be on the Carnival Pride on Jan 2nd. I read through this thread and if I didn't know what the rules really were, I'd be mighty confused. If you are flying, all the airlines restrict the size of liquids (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, anything else liquid and gel) that are in your carry- on. But you can bring any size liquids in your checked luggage. So if you're flying to a port city the day before and want shampoo, etc. in your carry-on, then you'd have to carry the tiny bottles -- 3 oz or less -- packed altogether in just one clear quart sized zip lock bag, to show as you go through airport security. You can have the large sized bottles in your checked luggage. (I always take brand new tightly sealed bottles, and put them into large zip bags, just in case they leak!) If you're not flying, just driving to the port, you can carry on to the ship any size liquids you want in your carry-on. Just remember that you might have to tote them around for awhile until your cabin is ready. I hope that clarifies things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post something similar because there's a lot of confusing misinformation out there. Your post should be a sticky lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KsCrafter Posted December 27, 2010 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Like several of the others, we put the big bottles in our checked luggage in quart size ziplock baggies and have not had any problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelingtriumphess Posted December 27, 2010 #14 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If you are flying on an airline there are many carry on restrictions, including 1 oz liquids. These restrictions do not apply to cruise ships. If flying on an airplane to port, put your shampoos and conditioners in checked on baggage or you can put them into little bottles that can be purchased at drugstore, supermarket, or other big box stores. Another option is purchasing said shampoo or conditioner at a salon near or at port town. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h_blond2 Posted December 27, 2010 #16 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Carnival does not have any size restrictions on shampoo, etc. They do provide shampoo and body wash in the showers. I admit, these aren't the greatest quality products, but I manage to live with them for a week. I do bring a full size bottle of conditioner with me, because I go through a lot of it....my hair would be one big tangly, frizzy mess without it! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
