FYI. Carnival Cruise Line luggage policy

To help you plan, we suggest you limit your luggage to a maximum of one bag per person, if traveling on cruises of 3-5 days duration, and no more than two bags per person, for cruises of 6 days or longer. In addition, you must personally carry-on any boarding documentation (passports, Visas, I.D), valuables, medications and items which require special handling.
Guests who are scheduled to arrive at the terminal before 1:30 PM, usually check their bags with a porter so they can be free to enjoy lunch on Lido Deck before access to their stateroom is granted.

Checked baggage service is only available until 2 hours before the ship's published sailing time (printed in the cruise documents). Guests arriving after this time will be responsible for taking their bags on board.

Each checked or carry-on suitcase should not exceed 50 pounds. When lying flat, bags must not exceed 16 inches high by 24 inches wide; the length of the bag is not a factor. Guests must use traditional luggage. Hulken rolling totes, wagon-style bags, and other similar totes are prohibited onboard. All luggage should be unlocked for security screening. Oversized or locked luggage may cause delivery delays.

Personalized luggage tags are included in the guest’s Electronic Documents (available once online check-in is completed). It is not necessary to print the tags in color.

Carnival luggage tags must be affixed to your baggage prior to arriving at the terminal. Additional tags can be obtained at curbside from the porter. Porters will re-tag any luggage tag with a TBA cabin assignment.

Curbside porters are customarily provided a $1 tip per bag. They are not employees of Carnival and should a guest experiences any problems, they must report it to porter management on site.

Since the screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage. Small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches, for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage.

Airline Luggage Restrictions

If traveling by air, guests are encouraged to contact the airlines directly to determine luggage restrictions and fees.

Anyone want to go on Safari? From Joe, our travel agency owner. One safari vehicle is full already. If you are on the edge, contact me with any questions you have. I do plan on checking with a flight consolidator we use to see what kind of deal I can get on flights.
I took this picture when we were in Kenya last year.

Everyone who sails with Carnival, don’t forget to log into carnival.com, as soon as possible, and opt in so you’ll be able to save your status after August 31 when they change to the new point system. If you received an email letter from Carnival, it will have an opt in button. I’ve never received the letter personally, so I just went on carnival.com to do it.
