brianastree Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Do we have to check my luggage (large suitcases etc) by a porter during embarkation? Or, can we bring it with myself? We would like to use something in my luggage asap in my stateroom, so we would like to enter the ship with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yes, you have to check anything bigger than a carry on with a porter. If you need something on embarkation day put it in your embarkation bag in case your luggage shows up later in the day. brianastree and Bakerette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Remember that the earliest you can reach your stateroom is 1PM (later if they aren't done cleaning) so if you board before that you have to carry everything with you. You COULD put everything in smaller luggage/bags to keep it with you but then I wouldn't recommend boarding early! SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyriC Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Anything you want to use prior to about 4-5pm on embarkation, you'll want that in your carryon. Also remember you'll be carrying whatever you carryon with you from 10am to 1pm if you embark as early as is possible. So you want that luggage bin approved carryon luggage? Its coming with you all through the ship as you explore, go eat something, go to the pool, etc. I recommend your carryon be something the size of a backpack and MAYBE a tote bag at the most. When you start dragging luggage all through the ship, I think it winds up dragging you down for 3 hours. Also remember any wine or a 12 pack of soda/water that you want to bring, MUST be in your carryon luggage. So consider the weight of that as well if you bring 2 bottles of wine and a 12 pack of soda. That's a pretty heavy load and that's before you add anything like swimwear, medications, change of clothing, etc. brianastree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd still want to keep anything valuable or necessary with you. This won't apply to many, but it's one of the perks I did like. brianastree, Bakerette and ThyriC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
