cowprintrabbit Posted July 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I tried searching for this and didn't find anything - getting married on the Carnival Spirit next year. Our paperwork says: "The bride and groom may carry on a garment bag in addition to a carry-on bag. Only one hand-carry-on bag will be permitted for sailing guests and must fit through the security machine. Luggage not to exceed 24”w x 16”h. All other bags must be checked with the Porters." The ceremony is on embarkation day, so we're arriving fully dressed. However, we both use CPAPs; will we be allowed to carry those on ourselves in addition to our carry-ons? I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user, so I make a very good luggage cart 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted July 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2022 You should be fine carrying on the CPAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli-az Posted July 14, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If you haven't already done so, you should advise Carnival's Guest Access Team that you will be bringing medical equipment. 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 And direct from Carnival's website under Guests with Disabilities FAQ: Do you offer CPAP machine rental? You must bring your own equipment on board for personal use. Please hand- carry these items and do not place them in your checked luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the most festive thing to see when boarding a ship! BIG GRINS (either way)! GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted July 15, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2022 In my experience, Carnival really doesn't care how much you carry on. ADA would be on your side if there was a strict allowance, much as with the airlines. You will have no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted July 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Medical equipment on any transportation in the USA is not considered luggage and therefore, not included in luggage allowances of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe especially during some strange boarding situation where such special attire isn't quite expected?) Best wishes to both of you! GC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It caused circulatory issues that cause swelling in my neck, among other issues… Vaxxed and boosted to the max but post-infection, when we had it they didn’t have treatments or vaccines yet.

It is almost scary we are not being asked to get a new shot every 6 months.Almost feels like drug company hype versus a massive wave of sickness.
