How much luggage can I bring onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship?
Each guest is permitted to carry a reasonable amount of personal property (including luggage)
aboard the vessel; however, for your comfort and convenience, it is recommended that you limit the
number of pieces you take. Each guest has the option to carry their luggage on board or check-in
luggage prior to boarding. Luggage may include suitcases, trunks, valises, satchels, bags, hangers
containing clothing, toiletries and similar items. Here are some recommendations for packing only
cruise essentials.
We recommend that guests personally carry any boarding documentation such as passports, visas,
citizenship documents and family legal documents plus all medications. To minimize the potential for
diversion or loss of medications, we advise that all medications remain in their original, labeled
prescription containers. It is also advisable to pack at least three days of extra medication in the
event of an unexpected change in the itinerary of the voyage. It is also a good idea for guests to pack
a small carry-on bag with a change of clothes, and bathing suit. That way they don't have to wait for
their checked bags to arrive in their stateroom.
Luggage may be locked only with a TSA approved lock.
Any carry-on luggage must be able to fit through the x-ray screening machines. These
machines vary in size from port to port, however generally they are similar to those found at airport
security check points. Guests wishing to carry their luggage with them during boarding should
note that their stateroom may not be immediately available to store their luggage.
Most cruisers just carry on a day bag with meds, documents, and maybe a swim suit plus
change of clothes.
