What Not to Pack

I know this will be common sense but someone had to try and bring these things for Carnival to have to put out a list...LOL!!

What Not to Pack

In order to maintain a safe and secure environment, Carnival permits or prohibits certain items on board.

Section 4(a) of the Cruise Ticket Contract states: Each fully paid adult Guest will be allowed a reasonable amount of luggage on board containing their personal belongings. Luggage means only trunks, valises, satchels, bags, hangers and bundles with their contents consisting of only such wearing apparel, toilet articles and similar personal effects as are necessary and appropriate for the purpose of the journey.

Permitted items must fit into checked luggage or must be in carry-on luggage that will fit the dimension of the X-ray security machine: 24”W x 16”H; there is no measurement for length as the carry-on luggage will lay flat on the conveyer belt. Note: Guests bringing the permitted one bottle of wine/champagne and/or small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages must bring these items on board in their carry-on luggage.
