Cruises: Passengers are forbidden from bringing this household item on a cruise ship

The cruise line state: “We reserve the right to confiscate or dispose of any articles that in our discretion are considered dangerous or pose a risk or inconvenience to the safety and security of the ship, or our guests, and no compensation will be provided.

Some items will be allowed on board but must be used with correct caution or they will be removed.

Carnival’s site states: “Personal grooming devices such as hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons and shavers are allowed on board when used with proper caution.

“However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark.”

The same goes for laptops, cameras, mobile phones, fans, power strips, multi plug box outlets/adaptors and extension cords.
