Meraviglia boarding with luggage?

[Qazzy]

I travel with one full size suitcase.  While traveling, I prefer to keep it with me and not check it whenever possible.  Is there a bag size limit for carryon?  Do I have to check my bag?

The bag must fit through the same scanner used at airports.  It can be longer but width and depth something like 16x24.  But I’m sure someone will be along to be more exact.  EM

At the Port of Miami Terminal C getting into the terminal ,2 gentlemen with 1 piece of luggage were stopped and not let into the terminal because it was a regular 25" suitcase, too large for the security screening and told to go find a porter and have it checked. They then had to get back in a long line.

I cruise for a week with a carry on and a high school-sized backpack. Both are allowed in the main cabin on a plane. Both fit through the airport and port scanners. If you can economize a bit you can do this. Otherwise, big bags are in the hands of the porters. Tip: have your toiletries, meds, cash, docs and a change of clothes in a small bag to carry on. It takes hours for all the large bags to be distributed.

If you could switch to two roller bags that would be a solve.  There's not a limit to what you can carry on, you only must be able to manage it yourself AND the bags have to fit through the scanner.

"One full size suitcase" it a little vague. Luggage comes in all shapes and sizes. Do you know the approximate dimensions of yours? I find that, when cruising, it's always best to keep my medications, toiletries, electronics, cash, and jewelry in a backpack that I carry onboard myself and leave my carry-on sized roller bag with all in my clothes in it with the porters.
