How much luggage you allow to bring in the cruise shop, because we are in 2 month vacation through asia and we got full bags?
1 answerAAnswered by Annie · 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Dear Sumanth Vuddagiri, While the cruise does not enforce an official luggage limit, we highly recommend that you leave some baggage at your hotel if you are returning to the same hotel. This will ensure a more convenient and comfortable experience during your time on the cruise. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
