luggage question

[luv2travel!]

we are going on the triumph in September, how soon are the cruise documents mailed to you?

Also once on the ship, when does your luggage arrive in your room?

Thanks!

You should get your documents in the mail 2-3 weeks before your sail date. Carnival's web site says that they try to have all luggage delivered to the rooms by 7pm. I hope that helps.:)

Most people get their docs anywhere from 1-3 weeks prior to cruise.

Once you board the ship, your luggage will be placed outside your cabin door - could be there within a few minutes, could be after dinner. I've always had mine before dinner.

They throw your luggage overboard and force you to buy stuff from the shops onboard....just kidding and having fun with ya! I have always found my bags 1-2 hours after I arrive and well before dinner.

 

Tickets will arrive at anytime between 21-10 days depending on your agency.

WE were not thinking and did not bring our swim suits with us. We were on the Conquest for 11:30, but did not have all of our luggage until 7:30. The kids were wanting to get in the pools, but no suits. Suggestion, bring them or wear them under your clothes.

Bring your swim suits, and maybe a change of clothes for each person, in your carry on. That way it won't make any difference when the luggage arrives. Have a great cruise!

I agree with the previous, put anything you have to have in your carryon - swimsuit, prescriptions, documents, etc... then take your carryon to the room, drop it off, and go exploring (includes drinking, eating, drinking, looking around, drinking - hmm, is there a pattern here?)

 

We have had our luggage delivered to the room in plenty of time for dinner, so has not been a problem. It may also depend on what time you checked in your luggage to the porters, what deck you are on, etc.

 

As long as you have the important and/or emergency stuff in your carryon, dont sweat the rest of it, enjoy yourself!

You don't always get ALL of your luggage at the same time either. You may get one piece before dinner, one after. I don't think we've ever gotten all our luggage at the same time. Always put shorts, swim suit, whatever you'd like to change into in your carry-on. We change into shorts as soon as we get to our cabin and don't have to worry about when the rest of our luggage arrives.:D
