wickky Posted September 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Per the Carnival website, I know it is okay to take a cooler no larger than 12"x12"x12". Do you think it would be okay if my cooler is 14"X12"X7"? How picky are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted September 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2019 They are picky. You probably wouldn’t get a cooler that size on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted September 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think you would be OK with that one. You are 2" bigger on one dimension and 5" smaller on another. I don't think they would hassle you for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted September 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have noticed that that they are not :too picky" on -softsided coolers. On our last cruise I noticed several people with those. They look like a carry-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaAnna Posted September 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My cooler is approximately 10x13x13. I fill it with stuff (clothes, etc) and pack it inside my checked luggage. I carry a large zip lock bag and ask steward to keep ice in the bag inside the cooler. That way I can chill our canned sodas, etc, in bottom of cooler but keep ice clean for using in beverages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrate13 Posted September 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2019 So, the answer is, they might take it, they might not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted September 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2019 like many things on Carnival, depends who you talk to or who checks you in. Pre Cheers we always brought Rum Runners and luckily we were never caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debra Lynn Posted September 23, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I had a 12x12x12 on wheels in San Juan and they rejected me taking it in. Saying that I could only have one no larger than about a 6 pack. I took it outside, put a luggage tag on it and it showed up with my checked luggage. In the future, I will put it inside my checked suitcase packed with clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallFour4 Posted September 23, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 23, 2019 We use one of the Yeti soft-side and I pack it as a camera and gear bag. It sails through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted September 23, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 23, 2019 We have a huge cooler bag from Costco that we use for shopping. We pack that in a checked bag, along with some heavy duty trash bags. Once onboard a trash bag goes into the Costco Bag and a liner, I introduce the Cabin Steward to my good friend President Jackson, and it is kept full of ice for the entire cruise. Have never had an issue with it, as it appears to just be a tote bag. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
