Princess Cruises does not technically have a "hard limit" on the number of suitcases you can bring, but they strongly recommend a maximum of two pieces of checked luggage per person. Each bag should ideally weigh no more than 50 pounds (22.5 kg) to ensure the safety of the shoreside stevedores and shipboard staff who handle the bags. Because cruise ship staterooms have limited storage space, bringing more than two large cases can make your cabin feel extremely cramped, although most suitcases can be slid underneath the bed for storage. If you are flying to your departure port, remember that you are also bound by your airline's baggage weight and quantity restrictions, which are often much stricter and more expensive than the cruise line's. In 2026, Princess also encourages the use of a small carry-on bag for embarkation day to hold your Medallion, passport, medications, and a change of clothes, as your checked luggage may not be delivered to your stateroom until several hours after you board the ship.
