Carry On Size

[SAAdds1]

I bought a "boarding tote" at Target today, but I'm wondering if it is too large to use as a carry-on. I am not talking about a carry-on for an airlines, but for the cruise. Are there restrictions at the pier?

The dimensions are as follows:

12 1/4 inches tall

15 1/4 inches wide

8 inches deep

What do you think?

Hi SAAdds!

I don't think you should have any problems at all. Mine measures 22" tall from the handle to the wheels, and I didn't have any problems bringing it on the plane or the ship. Have a great cruise!!

A lot of airlines use a 44" total measurement, that's length + height + width. They also have a 20 lb weight restriction, so you should be OK. If you know the airline, you can usually check on their website.

We flew Virgin Atlantic one time, and they had a 6 kilo, about 13 lbs, weight restriction on their carry on, and they enforced it.

Ken & I each had a carry on the same size you described Saadds1 and we had no problem. As long as it fits thru the scanner which is the same kind they use at the airport you will be fine.

We always take pilot cases on wheels and as long as they fit on the scanner, they allow us to take them. Last cruise, in December, we took them instead of luggage .

I don't think you need to worry about it at all...I think our pilot bags on wheels are much bigger. Last cruise we had to punch them in so they would squeeze through the scanner. No problem.

It's such a pleasure being able to walk right on with your luggage (as long as they fit through the scanner)...no more having to wait all day/night until your luggage is delivered to your cabin. I always had the fear of them losing/misplacing my luggage - no more having to worry now! :cool:
