MaiTaiMary Posted March 2, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Does Carnival enforce the 50 lb luggage limit? I haven't weighed my suitcase yet, but dang.... :o .... it feel pretty heavy. I read somewhere that luggage had to be under 50 lbs, but I can't remember where now. (We're driving over to the port tomorrow, so the airline restriction isn't an issue.) thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiTaiMary Posted March 2, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted March 2, 2010 That's for airlines, not carnival. I read Carnival had it too. That's what I'm asking about. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserKid Posted March 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Carnival does suggest that your luggage weigh 50 lbs. or less. It is stated as a suggestion, not as a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiTaiMary Posted March 2, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted March 2, 2010 :confused: Not sure where the confusion is about what I'm asking. Carnival states on their website that luggage shouldn't weigh more than 50 lbs. I'm not talking about the airlines. I'm talking about Carnival. Has anybody had experience with Carnival (not the airlines) enforcing a 50 lb luggage limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They font have scales or someone counting bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHP Posted March 3, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Carnival does suggest it...in writing...but (to date) has never enforced it. In fact, I just discovered it when I was bored and reading through some stuff for our cruise last January. I do tip extra for heavy bags....(and I tip the Carnival crew that delivers the bags if I can catch them "in the act") .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbay-eh Posted March 3, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2010 They request it, but they don't weigh the suitcases. But have a heart for the Porter!!!!!! ken I totally agree with you Ken - no they don't weight them and have never seen it enforced but put yourself in the porter, loader etc place and try tossing those bags around. Have mercy on them and be reasonable. If you are travelling by car you roll it out and heave it into a trunk - try putting that up on top of 4 other cases the same size. These guys are humans not incredible hulks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you showed up with a 100 lb. bag, they'd hassle you, but they won't even know or care if it's a few pounds over. You're in the 6th floor aft wrap I had two weeks ago, right? Let me know if they fixed the closet door.... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhcruiser Posted March 3, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is that the weight of the passenger or the luggage?? :D Most ships have 200 lb limit per passenger...it's NOT the TSA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazingm42 Posted March 3, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 3, 2010 trust me if you hand the porter a nice tip as you pull up in your taxi or shuttle they will load a Volkswagen's bug on the ship for you. DW sometime loads the bags for me to carry to car like I was a grand caynon mule. We never have had a issue with the porters not taking our bags. But I always tip them good as they will need the money for back surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
