What Do You Bring In Carry On?

What do you bring in your carry on and what do you typically do during the time between boarding and when your room is ready?

We’ve only been on one cruise and it was a three nighter in 09! So...it’s been a while. ;) leave Monday for five nights and looking forward to it.

Carry on: travel documents, medication, valuables.

Enjoy our first lunch on the ship.

Besides documents & valuables, we carry on a change of clothes and toiletries in case our luggage is delayed. We like to explore the ship and take pictures before it fills up, and check out our dining assignments in case we want to make a change.

As above, plus camera, binoculars, sweater. Swimsuit if you want to use the pool early. We usually just learn our way around the ship and get lunch until our room opens.

Request a table size (location) in MTD, explore the ship, take pictures and start enjoying our BP while relaxing.

Also our two bottles of wine , a change of clothes

We typically bring at least 3 days of casual clothing, personal care items, medication and our 2 bottles of wine. We typically do longer cruise, 10 nights or more so for a 5 night l would imagine clothing for 2 days would be plenty.

We usually board around 11am so head for a local for an early lunch and then hang out in one of the lounges for the 1pm cabin availability.

To get the party started or another reason? Had planned on leaving wine in checked bag.

As above all the travel documents, toiletries, my swimsuit and an outfit that can be worn in the MDR.

I like to explore the ship, swim (weather permitting) and see what the cafes have to offer.

Have a great time!

Wine must be carried on; it will be taken out of luggage.

We each bring a four wheel roller carry on size bag. All our stuff is in one of these bags. We do not bring any other bags.

If you don’t mind me asking here... does the carry on have to meet any size requirements (like with the airlines)?

I put as much stuff in my roll carry on as I can fit. I leave out the shoes, and any heavier clothing (I'm from the north), that I wore down and any other non essential items I don't need...I keep in my checked bag, Upon getting into our cabin, I essentially have everything I have to unpack, so I just hang the hangables and put my "unmentionalbes" away and I'm pretty much done, when the larger case arrives, I just shove it under the bed.

CPAP machine is in my carry on... not that I need it immediately.

ANYTHING of value should STAY in your possession! Anything you simply can't do without before dinner, too....Bags don't always arrive at one time, so you may get 1 bag quickly and the other 2 hours later!

Really? I’ve read so many post of people placing their two bottles in checked luggage. Anyone have first hand experience with this?

On my first cruise i didn't know anything so I was the one walking around in long pants and a t shirt burnt to a crisp on my face and arms before the cabin opened . Now I put my swim suit and sun block and a hat in my carry on. Plus a cute sundress incase my bags don't get to the room before dinner. Basically its just a cute over sized tote bag.

Then you go to the naughty room to reclaim your checked bag and drag it to your room yourself.

Carry-on bag. The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), including handles and wheels.

We bring one carry-on onto the ship. In it we have our valuables, medications and a change of clothes.

I've seen way bigger bags go through in Port Canaveral. Heck, they're practically full sized suitcases. I'll verify next Sunday

Valuables, sunscreen, meds, sunglasses, documents, wine, my kindle so I can read if there’s a wait. When traveling with my son I bring our swimsuits because he wants to swim as soon as he sees the pool(s).

I just bring my crossbody Vera bag. I usually have my mini iPad in it and travel docs. My DH brings his camera, his tablet, wireless headphones, etc.in a backpack. That is all we carry on. We have lunch, walk around a bit, and lay in the sun until room opens. :)
