wickky #1 Posted September 21 Per the Carnival website, I know it is okay to take a cooler no larger than 12"x12"x12". Do you think it would be okay if my cooler is 14"X12"X7"? How picky are they? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nwcruiselover #2 Posted September 21 They are picky. You probably wouldn’t get a cooler that size on the ship. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonit964 #3 Posted September 21 I think you would be OK with that one. You are 2" bigger on one dimension and 5" smaller on another. I don't think they would hassle you for that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purvis1231 #4 Posted September 21 I have noticed that that they are not :too picky" on -softsided coolers. On our last cruise I noticed several people with those. They look like a carry-on. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BananaAnna #6 Posted September 22 My cooler is approximately 10x13x13. I fill it with stuff (clothes, etc) and pack it inside my checked luggage. I carry a large zip lock bag and ask steward to keep ice in the bag inside the cooler. That way I can chill our canned sodas, etc, in bottom of cooler but keep ice clean for using in beverages. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyrate13 #8 Posted September 22 So, the answer is, they might take it, they might not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coevan #9 Posted September 23 like many things on Carnival, depends who you talk to or who checks you in. Pre Cheers we always brought Rum Runners and luckily we were never caught. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debra Lynn #11 Posted September 23 I had a 12x12x12 on wheels in San Juan and they rejected me taking it in. Saying that I could only have one no larger than about a 6 pack. I took it outside, put a luggage tag on it and it showed up with my checked luggage. In the future, I will put it inside my checked suitcase packed with clothing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BallFour4 #12 Posted September 23 We use one of the Yeti soft-side and I pack it as a camera and gear bag. It sails through. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K&RCurt #13 Posted September 23 We have a huge cooler bag from Costco that we use for shopping. We pack that in a checked bag, along with some heavy duty trash bags. Once onboard a trash bag goes into the Costco Bag and a liner, I introduce the Cabin Steward to my good friend President Jackson, and it is kept full of ice for the entire cruise. Have never had an issue with it, as it appears to just be a tote bag. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insulated and water proof. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
