molaurie Posted March 14, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Can anyone fill me in on what the exact size and weight limit is for carry on bags? I am determined to take everything in just a carry on for my next cruise, and want to make sure my bag will be okay. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted March 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2007 As long as you're not flying, you don't have to worry about a weight limit. I believe RCI has a 200-lb limit (total) for each passenger's baggage, so that won't be a concern. As for size, a carry-on needs to be small enough to fit thru the x-ray machine at check-in, which is roughly the same size as an airport's x-ray machine. If it's too big, it has to be checked.

molaurie Posted March 14, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks, that's good info, but I was actually meant the airplane's weight/size limit, I forgot to say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted March 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Check with the airline, either by phone or on line, if you are using two airlines then call them both! john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieStorm Posted March 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Southwest Airlines is stating that carry-ons must be no larger than 10 inches X 16 inches X 24 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted March 14, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Most airlines state the bag must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. The bag must weigh 40 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieStorm Posted March 14, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2007 serene: ??? MUST weigh 40 pounds??? I'm sure you meant CAN weigh up to 40 pounds, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted March 15, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2007 serene: ??? MUST weigh 40 pounds??? I'm sure you meant CAN weigh up to 40 pounds, yes? A word of caution, some airlines have a limit of 22 pounds. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you need to do is go to the airlines web site and check their carryon restrictions. You need to follow them to a "T" on trip you may get away with a slightly bigger bag the next trip you will have to check the bag. Also look at the TSA web site for restriction on what is allowed in the bag. 3 Oz of liquids in a small baggie etc. and you have to tell the TSA person before it is scanned. Check it out. I printed it out and put it in my carryone bag so next time I can look at it. Also if you are going Celebrity they (& others may have) a program that you can check your luggage straight thru to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
