arendale1 Posted May 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi, only 2 days until our cruise, so busy sorting and packing atm. A quick question - for small items of luggage, backpacks etc that we want to hold on to, is there anything that can't be put into these, that must be packed in the checked in cases? And vice versa? Having never cruised, we are used to airports and the prohibition of liquids over 100ml etc, so would like to be prepared. TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2015 No restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgon1 Posted May 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2015 They frown on grenades, handguns, trunk-monkeys, dwarves and kegs. Other than that, you're pretty much good to go . . Glad to see you remembered to pack the ATM. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted May 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If you are bringing wine onboard (2 750ml authorized per cabin) it's better to put it in your carryon bag. But put the wine opener in checked luggage, sometimes they take it from carryon. No consistency in that tho Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arendale1 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted May 24, 2015 As the OP is from UK they should have none of the above :rolleyes: Indeed lol! The kids are packing their own backpacks, so what I'm trying to clarify is whether standard size toiletries are ok to carry on, rather than bring restricted to the small 100ml amounts. I don't want to be one of those passengers that you see at the airport, having to bin everything as they forgot that they had to go in the hold.

helen haywood Posted May 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You will be restricted on liquid amounts on your flight with backpacks, which I'm assuming you are carrying on, not checking, but you already know that. In terms of getting on the ship there is nothing restricted as to size containers. Except you can't have large bottles of booze...but I'm assuming your kids wouldn't be packing those either....

Marie51 Posted May 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted May 24, 2015 There are no restrictions like at the airport where you can only bring 3 oz liquids. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevea36 Posted May 24, 2015 #17 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yes, the restaurant or bar staff will open wine bottles for you. Or you can ask your cabin steward for a corkscrew which they will gladly provide (don't forget to ask for glasses also if you would like to drink your wine in your cabin).
