Creator's Key Takeaways

Ignore, forget, or break these rules, and you might find yourself and your bags held up at port security, or worse, cruising without your luggage at all.

We broke this rule and it caused a great deal of anxiety for us. Leave your bags unlocked.

We suggest $5 per bag and that's honestly what we prefer to tip the porters uh each time we cruise.

Carnival does allow one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne per sailor.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use a portable scale to confirm your bag weight and allow 2-3 pounds of wiggle room.
✓Print luggage tags during online check-in and use plastic tag holders.
✓Arrive around 12:30 for optimal timing to drop bags, go through security, and have lunch before rooms are ready.
✓Tip porters $5 per bag as they work for the port, not Carnival.
✓Do not lock your bags, even with TSA locks, to avoid security delays.
