I don't know if all ports are the same but I just returned from the Carnival Paradise leaving out of the Long Beach port and you were not allowed to carry anything larger than a carryon onto the ship.  A gentleman behind me got very upset because his piece of luggage was larger than what was allowed.  From what I could tell it looks to be about the same size luggage you are allowed on an airplane.  However you CAN carry all your luggage off the ship.  That's what we  chose to do this morning.  They called all passengers carrying off their own luggage at 6:45 am and I was at my car by 7:05 a.m.  It was the fasted debarkation I have ever been thru!  We walked straight off the ship and there was only 1 person ahead of me in customs.  It was great!
