Dream boarding in Galveston delayed until 6 p.m. Can I carry on my own luggage?

[5 in OK]

So..... we've been fogged in here in Galveston today.  Same thing happened to us 3 years ago at Christmas on the Breeze (we lost Belize due to the delay - so sad - think we would have learned our lesson - but never again a winter cruise from Galveston - WAY to stressful way to start a vacation ).  They have notified us to disregard all boarding times and just show up between 6-9 p.m.  Bizarre - I am picturing utter chaos.

 

So.... when we did this 3 years ago our luggage didn't arrive until after midnight.   Could we possibly carry on our luggage - they are large samsonite ones - just one each....

 

Appreciate the input - pretty frustrated down here in Galveston.

My understanding is it has to fit through the scanner. Probably ok if it does. Best wishes.

Thank you!   Anyone put a large Samsonite through the scanner?

I've taken my 26in rolling suitcase onboard when we left from Long Beach. Assuming they have they same size scanners yours would probably fit.

 

I hope the cruise is fun and makes up for the stress of today!

 

We're boarding the Vista next Saturday so we're keeping our fingers crossed!

I would guess they would be very accommodating due to your circumstance.   Have a great cruise.
