Cruising Mom1 Posted June 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have searched and can't find an answer to this simple question... What size luggage is allowable on the larger ships to carry on? We sail on the Royal Carib. Explorer of the Seas on Thursday and I want to make sure our one bag is doable to carry/roll on? Our last cruise out of Port Canveral on the Monarch of the Seas, they would not allow anything larger than a briefcase & made me check my carry on bag. I am planning on using the typical roll on size that you would roll on an airplane... make sense? It is the standard 21x14x9 size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2009 We carry on to the ship the wheeled bag that we carry onto the airplanes flying to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just has to be the size that will fit through the scanner (just like the airport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2009 iWhatever you can take onto an airplane can be carried onto the ship--it has to fit through a scanner..... We bring the bare necessities onto the ship, the rest, we give to the porter....it's just too much trouble to carry everything we bring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Mom1 Posted June 9, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Y'all are so helpful! How long does it take for your luggage to show up? 3pm? 5 pm? 7pm? It is a big ship... should we plan to carry on what we will wear to dinner? I am hitting the gym as soon as I board so I will need a shower and change of clothes for dinner...

tokyo Posted June 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2009 in your hand luggage. At least then you will have something to wear for dinner if your luggage is late in arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted June 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The bag you are describing should be fine, as others said, it just has to fit through the scanner. I guess we've been lucky, but we've never had our luggage arrive much later than 5 or so--and usually earlier. I know this isn't always the case, however. We always just hand our larger bags to the porter and carry-on smaller (smaller than yours) bags with whatever we needed on the airplane; You could carry your exercise clothes and then put your traveling clothes on again afteryour shower, if your luggage hadn't arrived. Not ideal, I know, but people don't dress up much the first night because of the possibility of late-arriving luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
