Carry on rules?

[bobbiwoz]

Recently I think someone posted the rules for DCL carryons. I cannot find the thread. Can some one give the link or the rules. Someone in my FE group has questions and I do not want to steer the family wrong.

Thanks.

There used to be a specific size noted for carry ons, but I believe it's been removed from the DCL website. It was 22X14X9. It must fit through a standard airport scanner.

Beverages must be in carry on bags. Each guest 21 and over is allowed to bring onboard 2 bottles of wine/champagne (750ml max ea) OR 6 beers (12oz max ea). And, yes this means, if you have 3 bottles smaller than 750ml each, but still lower than the 1500ml total limit, you can only bring 2 of them onboard.

You aren't limited on the number of carry ons you have. Just be aware that you must be able to handle them all until your room is ready (usually around 1:30).

Thank you.
There is something specific about no home made food, open containers.

Yes, that's on the DCL website:

That's it, thanks. I did not know where to look.

I do not think they have anything home made, but they seemed worried about something. I want to assure them that they will be let on.

Unless they're trying to bring on something illegal, the worst case is that it's confiscated at entry and they have to pick it up when they disembark or it's disposed of. They won't be prevented from embarking. If it's too big to go through the scanners they'll simply be asked to check it through regular baggage handling.

Basically what DCL is looking for is something that could potentially bring aboard some bug that doesn't belong there or possibly end up in another country. Its actually not DCLs rule but Department of Agricultures I think. Its one of the alphabet soup organizations. I looked into it when we got married on the Magic in 2010. DCL just enforces it.

If you bring a small 1 person cereal box for example, unopened, DCL wont care. A Tupperware container of nuts, and pretzels on the other hand they may make you dump it before boarding. Definitely no fruit.
