dmcgeary Posted January 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Carnival suggests one piece of luggage per person for 5 day cruises. How strict are they on this? I'll be fine, but I doubt my gf will be able to get all her stuff in one suitcase and a carry-on especially since we're flying down a day earlier and will be staying another night in Charleston. Thank you for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted January 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2018 They SUGGEST. They really couldn't care less how much you bring on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2018 There really is no "limit", although some lines state 200 LBS per person....but no one is weighing your bags or counting them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambit57 Posted January 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Dang. Only 5 days and needs more than a big luggage and carryon? She bringing ski or scuba gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atperk Posted January 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have also been wondering this, more though to find out if we could bring on empty luggage to bring back souveniers or other knick knacks. (We are driving so no need to worry about checked baggage for the airport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1lizette1 Posted January 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2018 You're flying down? You might have more troubles with the airline than with the ship. Troubles as in having to pay extra for extra baggage. They unfortunately aren't as lenient as Carnival. How is your luggage situation? Perhaps fit a few of her things in yours?

dmcgeary Posted January 26, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Dang. Only 5 days and needs more than a big luggage and carryon? She bringing ski or scuba gear? Well, its actually 7 nights total. Flying in the day before and then spending an extra night in Charleston after. But, yeah, I don't get it either, but I'm smart enough not to argue about it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted January 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2018 When we started cruising we purchased two XL suitcases with wheels. On every cruise we fill them to just under the 50 lb airline limit. Then I take a backpack with valuables and a my wife takes small bag for carry ons. Works great for us on 7 day cruises.

Gwendy Posted January 27, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2018 7 day cruise equals carry on. Now the 54 night one tested my packing abilities or lack of, with different temperature zones. Hope I have improved for the 38 night one coming up. Have to fly International so that will keep me honest with the weight. Lol.

But, yeah, I don't get it either, but I'm smart enough not to argue about it. :D Using a bit of tact, try to explain reusing clothes is totally acceptable. (Even with wrinkles!) We always have managed an eight day cruise with a 24" suit case, and one carry-on each. (A luggage scale is a big help, also!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookDragon Posted January 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2018 My husbnd and I will be ging on a 5 day cruise with 1 day in a hotel before...so 6 days total. Each of us is bringing: 1 Medium sized suitcase & a backpack. We are also bringing 1, 22 inch carryon to hold sodas & wine. The 22" carryon will be used for dirty clothes during the cruise. I see nothing wrong with your girlfriend wanting to bring multiple suitcases, especially if she is a fashionista like me :). My husband would get laughed at if he suggested I should cut down on my luggage or the amount of clothes/shoes I am bringing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
