Size of Luggage?!

[chicy724]

I just printed my luggage tags and was reading them- it says luggage is not to exceed 24". Will they really not let me take my 25" upright???

I am kind of stressing right now. It's one inch too big!

Not to worry~ we bring on 29" and larger without any issues~!

hmmm, mine is 30inches and I have taken it on 7 cruises. Taking it Sunday, hope this is not a new rule.

Phew!! Thanks guys. I was sooo nervous.

I will let you know if there is some issue over my 1". I will be quite angry if so!

I also take a 29 incher - no issues really - more concerned with the arilines and luggage weight than getting the suitcase on the ship!

From the Carnival Luggage Restrictions FAQ

 

"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 (no length restrictions). 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 16"H x 24"W (no length restrictions). 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."

Notice the "no length restrictions" note. I presume the 16" depth and 24" width restriction is so that suitcases will go through their scanning equipment.

Thank you for the detail! The luggage tag doesn't specify "no length requirements". Eek!

If you notice the 3rd word in that paragraph...*encouraged* ~ again larger suitcases are not a problem~
