summerlove69 Posted June 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Would a small (21") rolling bag be considered a carryon, or would they make us check that? Taking the Elation out of Galveston. Thanks, Bridget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyImagination Posted June 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Would a small (21") rolling bag be considered a carryon, or would they make us check that? Taking the Elation out of Galveston. Thanks, Bridget As long as it fits through the 11x17 opening of the xray machine you can carry it on. A small rolling bag should easily fit. Do you have luggage restrictions?Baggage Limitations - There is no limit set by Carnival Cruise Lines to the amount of luggage brought on board as long as it fits in the guest's stateroom. The airlines do have restrictions and it is up to the guest to check with the airline he/she is flying on. Embarkation Baggage Procedures - Three bag tags per guest are mailed with cruise documents for cruises of 7-days or longer; two bag tags per guest are mailed with cruise documents for cruises of 6-days or less. After arriving at the pier, all guests will follow the same procedure with their luggage, whether they arrive by taxi, car, or transfer bus. Guests with a stateroom assignment are given tags that are color-coordinated to the deck assigned and location on that deck (forward or aft). Guests booked on a TBA basis receive gray bag tags; the porter will re-tag these bags with the corresponding tag according to the stateroom assigned. Additional tags can be obtained at curbside from the porter, if necessary. Each piece of luggage must be locked and have a colored bag tag listing the guest's name, ship and stateroom number.Guests must identify their bags with a curbside porter who will place the bags on the ship; the customary tip for the curbside porter is $1.00 per bag. NOTE: There is no curbside porter service on 2/3-day Cruises-to-Nowhere. For security purposes, Carnival limits the size of hand-carry luggage to 11"X 17" which is the dimension of the opening of the X-ray security machine (similar to those at the airport); there is no measurement for length as the hand-carry luggage will lay flat on the conveyer belt. Luggage larger than 11"X 17" will not be permitted through the security machine and must be checked-in with a curbside porter. Once on the ship, the luggage will be delivered to the guests' stateroom by 7:00pm that night. Debarkation Baggage Procedures - Guests are advised to place their luggage outside of their stateroom door on the last night of the cruise by 1:00am. All luggage is collected and placed in a holding area on the ship. Upon arrival at the port of debarkation, the luggage is unloaded and separated (by bag tag color) in the baggage claim area of the terminal. The guests must personally locate their luggage and either carry it out or seek the assistance of a porter who will wheel it out of the terminal. The customary tip is $1.00 per bag. Customs - Each guest is required to complete a customs declaration card prior to debarking the ship. Clearance for customs will take place on board the ship at the home port. When the ship has been cleared by U.S. Customs, guests disembark in an orderly fashion, usually according to the color of their bag tags. U.S. Customs may request proof of citizenship prior to the guest leaving the baggage claim area. Depending on the number of ships in port that day, the ship usually clears by 9:00am. It is suggested that all return air flights be made for early afternoon, at the earliest. Baggage Check-In with airlines at debarkation - Effective 9/11/01: For security reasons this service is no longer available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maraprince Posted June 16, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2005 summerlove69, Whatever you might be able to "carry on" an airplane and would fit through the x-ray machine. Pretty much the same as the airlines would allow. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted June 17, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Summer, the 11x17 is height and width. If the 21" is the length of your piece of luggage, it will go thru the machine ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
