Carry on luggage

[jharris7]

Is a backpack to big for the x-ray machine.

Not usually -- I suppose one of those great big, metal attached true wilderness hiking /camping ones might have a problem.

Nope - I've carried on a backpack and my partner has carried on a duffel bag a few times. The cruise lines can be much more flexible about carry-on sizes than the airlines since, obviously, the luggage doesn't have to fit in the overhead bins!

Seriously, if a bag doesn't go through the X-ray machine they might hand-search the bag instead, but they won't stop you from carrying it on.

There are never enough days at sea!
