Carry On Luggage at San Francisco Pier 27

[curleyjane]

Has anyone not used a porter and carried on all of their luggage here? I want to do this and thought I read that the X-ray machines might be too small for them to fit in. Thanks

As with most all ports, any bag must fit through the same xray machine used at airports. Most checked bags wouldn't fit.

And it isn't just the X-ray machines. It's wrestling everything through the check-in lines, finding a place to sit with your luggage, hauling it up a long ramp to the ship and getting it into an elevator with all the other boarding people. If it isn't just a regular carry on, life is too short.:D

You are right! What was I thinking...

I don't know if boarding in San Francisco is much different that in San Pedro or Long Beach, but we've usually carried our luggage onto the ship. We each use a roller bag that fits in most airline overheads, plus say a day pack. Works very well for us, and we disembark when we want at the end. Princess, for instance, has coin-op laundries on the ship, so we do a single load between us mid-cruise per each week.

Have done it for a short cruise without to much luggage
