quilter06 Posted May 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've been reading that the allowed 12 pack of non alcohol drinks and one bottle of wine should be in your carry-on at embarkment. Will they allowed another carry-on with other things like bathing suit, toiletries, medications, etc.? Is there a size limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted May 11, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The only limit to the number of carry ons is your ability to manage them. It's not necessary to pack the sodas, etc in your carry on, specifically, but those items must be carried on. I've seen many people use those small, metal folding wheeled dollies that people often use as airports as their means of handling the soda especially for multiple people. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef43 Posted May 11, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is there a size limit?Whatever you plan on carrying aboard must be able to fit through the security scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamz2cruise Posted May 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is it best to carry on a fan - or pack it (and lose valuable packing space) in the checked luggage? I would think I could argue that a NEW fan would be ok at the scanning - but not sure which is best? I've asked on another thread - but still not sure!

Since it is not that valuable I would put it in the check baggage just so I would not have to carry it around until the cabin is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilter06 Posted May 11, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted May 11, 2011 What size carry on will fit through the scanner? Using a folding dollie is a great hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted May 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2011 What size carry on will fit through the scanner? Using a folding dollie is a great hint! The security scanners are the same as the ones you used to always see at airports. A standard carry on suitcase fits very easily. If fact, when I sailed from Port Everglades I was able to get a full size suitcase through the scanner!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted May 11, 2011 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Just got back from a cruise on the Triumph and a very nice gentleman next to us got a huge suitcase through the scanner. I was more than impressed and will probably just take my small ishsuitcase with me as a carry on when I cruise the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Days Posted May 11, 2011 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is it best to carry on a fan - or pack it (and lose valuable packing space) in the checked luggage? I would think I could argue that a NEW fan would be ok at the scanning - but not sure which is best? I've asked on another thread - but still not sure! I would say put it on checked bags. Even though they are allowed on board as long as they are in good condition, you might have a over zealous security person who will disallow it. I have taken a fan on each of my cruises and have had ZERO problem gettting them onboard in my checked bag. And thanks to Host Mach for the idea of using those foldable crates, I will be taking on water and soda on my next cruise and was wondering what the best way of wrestling it on along with my normal bags that already include the kitchen sink!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check it in-- just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeCruisers Posted May 11, 2011 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Last year I went with a few buddies and we were permitted 1 DRINK COOLER with UP TO 12 cans, nothing larger than a can and 1 unopened wine bottle per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted May 11, 2011 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I read on Carnival somewhere that carry ons are limited to 24 x16... that is a fairly good size suitcase..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. even my largest suitcase when through the xray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
