Do we have to check our luggage in?

[ChristinaB615]

Can we carry our own luggage on the ships?  We intend to pack light and have important medicines and such with us and I read somewhere that we have to check in our baggage when boarding. Do they enforce this policy as far as you know?

You can carry on any luggage that will fit through the security scanner belt.

Please note that cabins are generally not available until 1 PM.  You will have to keep your luggage with you anywhere you go until then.

As long as it will really fit in an airport x-ray scanner, you will be happy with lugging it around the terminal through check-in, you can manage to get it up the twisty/turny gangway without banging into people, and are willing to lug it around the ship until your room is ready, go for it. Not recommended.

Ahhh, thanks so much everyone!  I really appreciate it!

Please keep in mind that everyone will be fitting into the public spaces as well as elevators and luggage takes up valuable room.

You should keep a smaller bag with you to carry your medicines, valuables, documents, etc.. Some people use a back pack, others a tote bag or small rolling bag. You must also carry on any water, soda, or wine you are bringing with you.

We boarded Oasis at PC last year with medium size spinner cases since we didn't arrive at port until after 12:30. Worked out great for us!
