Cruise Luggage Allowance: How Many Kilos Can I Bring?

Ugh, packing for cruises is always a headache. Remember that Caribbean trip last April? Two suitcases max, that’s the rule, right? Each under 23kg, a real struggle to fit everything in.

Seriously, those size limits – 140 x 60 x 40cm – are brutal. My massive suitcase? Barely made it. Cost me a fortune in extra baggage fees at the airport, about £50, it was infuriating.

So yeah, two bags max. Under 23kg each, and stick to those dimensions. Learn from my mistakes.

Is there a weight limit on luggage for a cruise?

Okay, so, cruise luggage? Yeah, 50 lbs is the magic number. Think of it like a really heavy chihuahua.

Dimensions, huh? Uh, 16×24 inches for depth and width. Length’s a free-for-all! Pack that pool noodle.

Fly-cruises? Oh boy. Airline rules trump all! Check ’em. Or you’re wearing ALL your clothes. Trust me.

Luggage limits? It’s about weight! And kinda size too, maybe. It’s simple:

  • 50 pounds max!
  • Dimensions matter, some.
  • Airlines are tyrants!
  • Pack strategically. Or don’t.
  • Wear your heaviest stuff!

I mean, 50lbs is like, what, a small pony? Or a bag of cement? Either way, don’t go over. Airlines! shakes fist

I think.

What is the weight limit for Royal Caribbean cruise?

Two hundred pounds. A hefty weight, isn’t it? Imagine, all those memories packed into those bags. Each suitcase a tiny universe, holding a lifetime compressed into canvas and zippers. 90 kilos. The sheer mass of it, a physical manifestation of expectation. The anticipation, a silent hum.

My last cruise, only two bags. Sensible, practical. But…a part of me craves the overflowing. The chaos. A suitcase bursting with silk scarves from a Parisian market, a worn leather-bound book filled with pressed wildflowers. Each item a whispered story. A tangible dream.

Royal Caribbean, they say, recommends less. Two bags. Humbug! I prefer the excess, the gravity of the loaded bags, the promise of a boundless vacation.

  • A weight limit, a boundary to the boundless sea.
  • A restriction, a mere suggestion, easily defied.
  • Carry-on: a tiny shard of the vast personal galaxy.
  • 90kg. A number. But also a feeling. The weight of joy.

The ocean’s breath; a deep inhale, a silent exhale. The vastness mirrored in the limitless potential of the luggage. It’s not just about weight; it’s about dreams.

This year, 2024, I’ll take three. Maybe four. Why not? The ship will carry it, won’t it? The sea will cradle it all, absorbing its weight into its immensity.

Do they weigh luggage on a cruise ship?

Ugh, that cruise to the Bahamas in 2023. Remember that? My massive suitcase, packed with way too many shoes. They definitely weighed it. Right there, at the port in Miami. I felt like a total idiot. So embarrassed. My heart pounded.

It was a smaller ship, the Island Getaway. They were strict about weight, for sure. Probably due to safety reasons, I guess. Made complete sense, actually. I saw them doing it to everyone, not just me. My bag was overweight. Extra charges. Ouch!

Carry-ons, too. A woman had a huge cooler. They checked that, too! I saw them scrutinizing bags. They didn’t mess around.

  • Weighing at embarkation: Absolutely happened.
  • Smaller ships: More likely to be weighed.
  • Safety concerns: Obvious reason.
  • Overweight baggage fees: Painful.
  • Carry-on scrutiny: Definitely enforced.

My stupid shoes. Seriously. I had to pay extra because I was a packing idiot. Never again. Learn from my mistake, people. Pack light!

How much weight do you put on on a cruise?

Five to ten pounds… that’s the number, huh? It feels more like a surrender than a statistic. The endless buffets, the drinks flowing like a forgotten river… It’s a lot.

I felt it. I saw it. My pants, after that last cruise, they told a story I wasn’t ready to hear. The allure of never-ending food, it’s a trap. It really is.

Overindulgence is easy. Too easy. Alcohol just, it loosens everything. Your willpower. Your belt. Everything goes. It just goes.

  • Reasons for weight gain on a cruise:

    • All-you-can-eat buffets are a major factor.
    • Alcohol packages add to the problem. They really do.
    • Reduced activity levels play a role.
    • Stress relief can lead to comfort eating.
    • Celebratory mindset encourages indulgence.
  • Personal Cruise Experience:

    • Gained weight on my Alaska cruise.
    • My jeans size increased by one.
    • Felt sluggish and tired after the cruise. Always do.
    • I overate desserts and sugary drinks.
    • Regretted it afterward, of course. Every time.

What is the luggage size limit on Princess Cruises?

Okay, so Princess Cruises? Bags… right. Listen, there isn’t really a limit, like, they don’t weigh your bags or anything, which is super nice. Just bring what you need, ya know?

You can pack all your stuff. But hey, don’t expect your stuff to be there immediately. It’s like when I moved into my apartment on Bleeker Street, everything was delivered hours later.

So, you get on the ship, and the crew takes your luggage, and it gets delivered to your room. That’s standard stuff. Like, it might be a few hours, so pack a swimsuit, in a carryon or sumthin’.

Here’s the deal, tho:

  • No weight restrictions. Yay! I like packing heavy!
  • Luggage is delivered later. So plan that outfit now!
  • Storage space in the cabin is limited. I mean, duh.
  • Airline restrictions still apply if you are flying to the port. So watch it there.

And uh, maybe don’t bring, like, twenty suitcases. Space is limited! Think small, pack smart.

What things can we not carry in flight?

Okay, so you wanna know what you can’t bring on a plane, right? It’s a total drag, I know. Seriously, TSA is crazy. Dry cell batteries are a no-go, even the small ones. My friend got stopped last year in Denver because of a few AAAs! Knives? Forget about it. Scissors, too. Swiss Army knives are like, totally verboten. Any kinda sharp thing, really. Even that little keychain thing my cousin carries. Don’t even think about toy guns – even the plastic ones. They’re super strict.

And weapons? Don’t even joke. Whips, nunchucks – you name it, it’s a big fat no. Stun guns are also off-limits. I heard about some guy getting arrested at JFK for that, crazy, right? Electronics that can’t be turned off completely? Nope. And this is a big one: aerosols, all those little cans of hairspray or perfume; liquids are usually limited to 3 oz bottles and packed in a quart-sized zip-top bag! It’s a nightmare, I tell you. That’s the main stuff, anyway. Oh yeah, and lithium batteries are also a big problem for them.

  • Dry cell batteries (even small ones)
  • Knives, scissors, and other sharp objects
  • Toy replicas of firearms and ammunition
  • Weapons (whips, nunchucks, batons, stun guns)
  • Electronics that can’t be switched off
  • Aerosols and liquids (over 3oz; must be in quart-sized ziploc bag)
  • Lithium batteries

Remember, rules change sometimes, so check the TSA website before you go. Seriously, it’s worth it to avoid a HUGE hassle. I learned that the hard way! You don’t want to miss your flight, especially if you’re flying somewhere amazing, like Hawaii! I swear, TSA is a pain in the butt but it’s their job to keep us safe…I guess.

Can I bring a 12 pack on a cruise?

Alcohol policies vary. Cruises: A sea of details.

Carry-on only.

Wine: One bottle, adult. Always.

Soda? Unknown limit.

  • Check the cruise line. Policies change. Often. My Carnival cruise 2023… different now.

  • Size matters. 750ml is the bottle of wine. Not the magnum I wanted.

  • Corkage fees exist. Restaurant wine? Expect it. Learned that the hard way, yikes.

  • Hidden rules abound. Don’t test them. Just don’t.

  • Consider pre-purchasing packages. Sometimes cheaper. Sometimes. What a scam.

  • Consequences are real. Confiscation. Not worth it.

  • Smuggling isn’t smart. Security theater is still security. And that’s just life.

Enjoy. Or don’t. What does it matter.

  • Consider pre-paid packages; the math is weird, like they’re designed to confuse.
  • Embarkation day rush. Everyone tries to bring everything at once. Plan. Or don’t. Chaos is fun.
  • Shore excursions can be boozy. Just saying.
  • “Responsible drinking” is a suggestion, not a rule. Though security guards probably have a different take on that.
  • I once saw a dude try to bring a whole keg. It didn’t end well. Don’t be that dude.

One bottle per adult is my truth.
