Taking Folding Bike On Cruise Ships

Cruises can be a great way to visit a variety of destinations that are otherwise hard to reach. Since cruise ships are again calling here in New Orleans, I thought I'd look into taking a folding bike aboard. Happily, I learned that 3 out of 4 cruise lines calling on New Orleans allow passengers to bring aboard their folding bikes. Here's more information:

Royal Caribbean866-562-7625NoPassengers are not allowed to bring bikes of any kind aboard.

I just checked with Celebrity Cruises main office. They do allow folding bikes and you can take them off and back on at destinations. They do caution that bikes must be stored in your room when not in use, which might be pretty small.
