pumette Posted June 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I read that you can take some gear on board for port excursions, like snorkeling gear, and Carnival will hold them for you if you can't have them in your room. Anyone know if a pool noodle is allowed? Or if those are readily available for beaches & snorkeling in ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted June 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Noodles are generally used in pools and not at beaches for use in the open ocean. They are not usually used for snorkeling either. I wouldn't bring anything like that on a cruise and certainly not on a plane if you have to fly to the cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted June 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My sister brings her pool noodles all the time. She has a big suitcase and wraps them around the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bluejay555 Posted June 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sure, we took a pool noodle, 2 small foam "boogie boards", a life jacket, and face masks. We squeezed them easily in our bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denrusk Posted June 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2015 They also make blow up noodles, we bring them, blow em up, and leave them at the beach for someone else when we're finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandij Posted June 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We did a snorkeling tour in St John and they had noodles to use, I slipped one under my vest and it really helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wampuscat7 Posted June 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I think noodles are great for the ocean and snorkeling. I don't know about Carnival storing them for you, sorry. But you could store them under the bed easily and never have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kteachcruiser52 Posted June 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We bought a set of 6 air noodles from Amazon. We take them and a small hand pump in our beach bag to the beaches in port. They work great and take very little room in your bag. When we take our snorkel equipment we do stick them in our snorkel bag;however, we usually use our snorkel vests while we are snorkeling.

cb at sea Posted June 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Of course you can bring them...you simply can't use them in the ship's pools, as there is not enough room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibelle Posted June 24, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I found a blow up pool noodle at dollar tree. Might get it to bring along for long snorkelling days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweenbean21 Posted June 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 24, 2015 We always bring noodles and our snorkeling gear, just wrap the noodles around the interior of your suitcase. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
