collapsible cart for carrying soda on board

[ElizabethE26]

Anyone know if these are okay when getting onto the ship? I was hoping to use one of these to get a couple cases of sodas on board. If we have to, we'll carry both 12 packs, but I would much rather have something to roll them in. Plus, since this cart is collapsible, I could fold it up and put in my larger luggage whenever I don't need it at the end of the cruise. I don't however want to pack two 12-packs inside my carry on luggage since they would take up too much space.

You can take any sort of carrier on board as long as it will fit through the kind of detector they use at airport security. This looks like it would fit, especially when collapsed.

 

Just remember, you have to haul whatever you bring aboard the ship until the rooms are available at around 1 pm.

We have brought hand dollies on more than one cruise. As long as it fits through TSA scanner there is no problem.

Yes you can.

You're only allowed 12 cans per person, so if there are only two of you then two twelve packs is all you can take on.

I used these one year when I was teaching in the classroom. My experience is these don't hold up to heavy lifting and break very easily. I would bring my notebooks or teacher editions of textbooks home to do weekly lesson plans at my dining room table (weight was about the same as two twelve packs).

You could ride the case on top of the carry-on (in the upright position) and secure it to the pull handle with a bungee cord or two. That is, if you have that style of carry-on. Then you won't have the cart to pack home.

Make sure it isn't bigger than 12" in any dimension.

Carry-ons can be up to 24" wide for Carnival scanners

I thought each person could only carry on 12 cans of soda

Threadstarter says "we" in original post so there must be at least 2 in her party.

We have a small, inexpensive rolling suitcase - smaller than a standard "carry on". We put our 2-12 packs of soda and 2 bottles of wine in there and roll it on. It is small enough to fit into our large suitcase before we slide it under the our bed after unpacking. Our suitcase looks to be smaller than your picture of the rolling bin...

 

Just an idea for an alternative...Walmart less than $25.

Carry ons can be up to 24" TALL when standing. They are generally 12-14 inches wide.

From the horses mouth:

 

Carry-On Luggage

Guests are encouraged to limit their luggage to two suitcases per guest.For those guests who wish to carry on luggage, it must fit through the security screening machine. When laying flat, it must not exceed 16 inches high x 24 inches wide (40.64cm x 60.96cm); the length of the bag is not a factor. Anything larger, must be checked-in with a curbside porter. We suggest that all luggage be unlocked and have a Carnival luggage tag attached listing the guest's name and stateroom number.

The two smaller dimensions of your carry on must be under 16"x24". The other dimension can be 10 feet and you will still be OK. We're not talking about what airlines and the luggage industry consider "carry on sized suitcases". We're talking about what will fit through the scanners at the port. Many suitcases that are larger than "carry on size" are perfectly OK to carry on to the ship.

 

For instance, here's a 31" suitcase:

Dimensions are 30.5" x 18.3" x 10.8". Cannot be carried onto any commercial flight. Perfectly fine to carry on a Carnival ship because the two smaller dimensions are under 16" x 24".

When I commented about the 12" thing, I figured they would count it as a cooler with the soda in it.

We have used one of these (see attached picture) on several occasions to carry up to 5 twelve-packs. That's the high end of the load I would recommend, but it was better than the alternatives!

Yes you can. If it doesn't fit onto scanner, just take out the sodas and fold it up.
