Don't Board Without Knowing These 9 Carnival Cruise Luggage Rules!

[@shaqwenaowens6605]

I just love how yall break down the dos & don'ts with a visual aid so that people will be able to easily identify the subject and/or products you are discussing. I also enjoy the yall personalities they always shine through each video. ❤🤗💯

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Thank you because this video had out recording studio in shambles 😂😂

[@shaqwenaowens6605]

​@LifeWithUsTV will yall go through it & made it work...Amen!

[@Mrs.HighMaintenance]

People need to listen to y'all!!! I was on a VV sailing last Friday, and so many people missed the ship due to the CrowdStrike fiasco. I'm so glad I listened to my internet cousins and flew in the Thursday night before the cruise. Also, I followed your advice and purchased trip insurance, which a lot of folks who missed the cruise didn't have. Yall can do a separate video on this because "seasoned cruisers" missed out because they were trying to save $$$ and ended up spending way more in the end. We appreciate you!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I’m glad you listened cousin 🥰

[@rcoleman9054]

@@Mrs.HighMaintenance Hi, did you get travel insurance with the cruise line or did you purchase separately from elsewhere?

[@suzannewhite9777]

I love my level 8 luggage!

[@lgpalomo]

This is great insider information. I’ve never been on a cruise before so this was really complete advice. I would be flying to port anyway, so the luggage guidelines would have to follow for airline as well.

[@on1accord78]

I’m going on my second cruise ever…the first one was 2016, and I had so much anxiety about knowing I have what I need. Thanks for relieving that!

[@dchenkin02]

While it may not apply at all Carnival embarkation ports; there are cruise ports that mandate suitcases larger than an airline carry on suitcase be handed over to the porters at the embarkation port.

[@sophiacadet9472]

Thanks for the tips

I'm a subscriber. Really enjoy yall's vlogs! I'm sailing next month outta Long Beach port on the Firenze. My first cruise at 64 y.o. I have a fear of dogs and have heard there are dogs at Security check in. Do yall know if this is true or not? Any information would be helpful so I can prepare myself. Oh Lord. 😮

[@haroldawarrenjr3803]

Thank you Stanley and Lynette for that level 8 luggage...when we were kids my parents would always pack our clothes in Samsonite luggage, back in the 70s you had to carry it like a brief case 😂 so that's what I have been using..I really like the deepness in the level 8....will try it.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

I know exactly the case too 😂😂

[@Mizlady1]

I love you'll. I am so happy I found your channel!! Our group is cruising on the Breeze for New Year's, I will share your video's with the group for sure. I am planning on cruising with your group in July 2025 🎉🎉 Lynette and Stanley, you're awesome 🧡

[@averyhebert335]

Thanks you for this great video! Question: Are we allowed to put a 12 pk soda in its own carry on bag and check it in /give to the porter? We are not buying the drink packages but dont want to have to carry all over the ship until the room is ready. Is this possible?

[@LifeWithUsTV]

No they must be carried on but you can put them in a bag, luggage etc. They’ll toss them in your checked luggage that’s hand to the porters

Just got through packing a granddaddy luggage, much like level 8, but it was well over 50 lbs., what happens if your dinged for very overweight luggage? I packed it with a fan and my husband and my clothes and that’s it but it was way overweight.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

cruise- nothing. Airline- you pay

[@62play4]

Porters are LONGSHOREMEN - - - So yes tip them (cruise lines says $1 a bag for a reason) They get paid by the cruise line $75 an hour!!! ($75 x 8 = $600) plus your tips!!!

Yes, still no reason not to tip well. Especially when you know your bags are as heavy as a 7 year old 😂😂😂

Hi, Lynette and Stanleyyyyyyy! This is kinda off topic, but I must know. Will there be another TA class in the near future? (After the one that starts in a week). I was all set to attend the August class, but I’m gonna be in the middle of a 20 hour road trip. So, I don’t think that’ll work for me. Thanks so much.
