getaway101 Posted April 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2005 This question might have already been asked, but I couldn't find it. Question is; If you are not flying but instead going directly to the pier, can yo lock your luggage or does the cruise ship still have to examine it?

Lock you checked luggage - some lines have dogs sniffing luggage for drugs and some xray locked luggage. Of course your carry ons will go through an xray machine similiar to the airports.

getaway101 Posted April 10, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Wasn't planning on taking any carryon. Just a large tote with prescriptions and jewelry, stuff like that. Oh and a camera bag. I don't want to have to carry around a carryon if the cabin isn't ready when we embark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal91086 Posted April 11, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I had a corkscrew in my checked luggage and the lock was cut by the airport. I replaced the lock with another and it was again cut between the time I handed it over to the guys at the dock and when it arrived at my cabin.

Cotton Posted April 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Getaway - Yes, Carnival says to lock your luggage before giving to the porters at the dock. All luggage goes through x-ray, whether it's checked or carry-on. By the way, your 'tote' is considered a carry-on.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 11, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yes - lock your luggage. There have been too many stories on the various boards about items missing from unlocked luggage. And don't forget to lock your luggage at the end of the cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getaway101 Posted April 13, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted April 13, 2005 We aren't traveling by airline, we are going directly to the dock. So it sounds like the consensus is to lock it. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
