travelmama06 Posted January 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) We are planning on only using carry on luggage for our upcoming cruise ! (of course this is mainly due to our flight itinerary which has a connecting flight and we are wanting to avoid any lost luggage issues) my question is : will we be able to check our bags with the cruise line at embarkation so we don’t have to drag them around until our cabin is ready - I have our baggage tags for ncl printed etc !! ( I’m assuming this should be ok and no fear of losing them at that point 🤷♀️) thanks ps: the countdown is on !!

GUT2407 Posted January 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yep. I don’t under stand why you would think you can’t check a small bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted January 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yes, that will be fine. Only suggestion you'll see folks say here is to keep any meds or anything super important still with you. Just because you give them the bag, doesn't mean it will make it on the ship. Things can still happen, we're all just human. So anything that is vital, still keep with you in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted January 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Your carry on bag will have to be small enough to fit through the scanning machine before you check in. I don't know of any place on board where you can check a bag until your room is ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted January 11, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2023 what time do you plan on getting to the port? Anytime after 12:30, I'd just keep the bags. The rooms will be available soon, if they aren't already. But to answer you question, yes you can check them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that OP is talking about giving it to the porters like they would do with a larger suitcase, before they reach the scanning machine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelmama06 Posted January 11, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Our check in time is 2 - 2:30 I think we will keep them - if we made it that far without any issues what’s another hour or so ! thanks everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare schmoopie17 Posted January 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2023 We usually bring full size suitcases and check them at the port. Our next cruise we're taking two carry-on size bags (the kind that fit in the overhead bins on planes). Are those bags typically small enough to go through the x-ray? We'd like to keep our bags with us, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to go straight to your room when you board. I've never been on a cruise where the rooms were not available by this time.
