What size carry-ons

[Riley's Mom]

Can we take through the x-ray machine and as carry on luggage?

Is it 20" or 18": I think what I have is 20" but it is not a big suitcase.

 

Thanks, Carla

The Carnival FAQs say 24X16 with no length restriction...

If it would fit through the X-Ray machine at the airport it'll work fine...

Now, when I sailed on the Splendor there were no porters available and EVERYTHING went through the X-Ray machines regardless of size...

I can tell you that at the Cruise terminal in Galveston you can. We never check our luggage in with a porter and ours...correction mine :rolleyes::D...is bigger that those deminsions.

What happens if they say the cary on is too large? Do they have you go back to the curb and give your bag to a porter or do they take it off themselves at the xray machine area?

 

Thanks again for the help.

I am confused. If your carry on can be 24"x16", then why does my cooler that is being carried on have to be no bigger than 12"x12" to fit through the x-ray? My cooler is 14"x12" so I was very worried it would not fit.:confused:

I think that the rules change depending on the port (and the agent). I've sailed out of Galveston & Miami with my carry-on luggage and had no problem, but it was a different story in Tampa. The agent at the door insisted that my bag would not fit thru the x-ray machine and that it HAD to be checked. I had just flown in and had NO problem at the airport or on the airplane. I had to remove several items that were needed for a family reunion cocktail party that eve. and check the bag.

 

Just be prepared.....and don't try to agrue with them. :)

For shipboard carry-on: 16" x 24" x any length. ken
