I had no problems last week with the same luggage I used in '07. But I saw some behemoths at the pickup stations.

Of Course it would be locked.:eek::rolleyes:

Because we have to fly to every port - we have to follow the airline rules - so it's no big deal to follow Carnivals.

OP: Are you going to let the rest of in on the new luggage rules? Apparently no one knows to what you are referring. Makes it kind of hard to vote on your poll.

This is what the OP is referring to,but its in no way new. I think Carnival is just trying to save the backs of their crew members slinging those bags. Its not rule, just a encouragement or suggestion.

Guests are encouraged to limit their checked luggage to two suitcases per person, with each suitcase not to weigh more than 50 pounds and not exceed 16"H x 24"W x 30"L. Please attach your Carnival Cruise Lines luggage tags PRIOR to leaving home and make sure that they are still on your bags when checking in with us. In many ports, guests have the option of carrying luggage on board at embarkation and off the ship at the end of the cruise as long as it does not exceed 24"W x 16"H. This is an advantage you may want to consider as it will allow for quicker easier access to your bags. Please note that Carnival assumes no responsibility for carry-on luggage.

OK, thanks. Like you said nothing new.

Sorry for the alarm!!

 

The guy at CCL acted as though it was something new when he was reminding me about this... Also reminded me of the Prohibited items list!

Not a problem. I thought it was going to be something really over the top. Like each passanger is only allowed to carry on one overhead size bag only. That they are not allowing any more checked bags. Or were charging for overweight, oversized steamer trunks. Think of the stink that that would make here for all the people that have to carry everything but the kitchen sink. :eek:

Rumor has it that we are only allowed to take on one crock pot per cabin too.
