The shampoo bottle hack isn’t new. We first did it in 2006. We did it in protest, however, because the cruise mandated that if one person is a cabin wanted the drink package, EVERYONE in that cabin had to get it and two out of three people didn’t drink alcohol at all. I understand why the rule is in place, but it’s completely unfair to non-drinkers.

I'm about to take my first cruise soon, I don't drink alcohol, but the other 3 adults I'm roomed with do, I too noticed that they require everyone in the room to get the alcohol package if one person wants it... why is that? I've never cruised before, so I don't get why this rule exists. And once we're on the ship, can we simply buy alcohol normally if we wanted to or must we have an alcohol package?

I recently took a cruise to Mexico on Norwegian Cruise in March and I was allowed my power bar on the cruise. The reason was that the cabin power is linked to your card. If you want to keep the lights on and power plugs working while in your room, you need your key card in the power slot. If there is no card in there, there is no power and so no worries about hazards.

I found a non surge protected power strip, but Princess said they'd confiscate it anyway. I left it at home. What I did buy was a 25 foot charging cord for my phone and one for my kindle and plugged it into a cube. It worked well.

lol, we took a cruise several years ago where we leisurely traveled by car down to the port, making a stop in the Smoky Mountains. We played a really cool wizard game that you had to purchase wands with memory chips in the handles, and we just packed them into our luggage for the rest of the ride down to the port. Our luggage got detained in security, at the port, before boarding, because security wasn’t sure what they were. They did allow us to keep them and take them on the ship once we explained what they were.😂 Moral of the story: Unusual, but otherwise harmless items may cause you some unwelcome complications. Consider carefully what you put in your suitcase if it seems to you that it may fall outside the norm.

Just got back from our 1st cruise. Went to Coco cay and Nassau via Royal Caribbean. Had an absolute blast.

The camouflage clothing surprised me. I would never wear that anyway, but when I was on a cruise in 2011, they told us this before we disembarked in Barbados. Nobody has ever explained this to me, so I am puzzled why anyone outside of the fashion police would care about camouflage patterns.

Regarding taking drones on a cruise, research the respective port's of calls you are visiting for local laws governing their use.

I recently got back from a 10 day Caribbean cruise. I have back issues, and a heating pad is so helpful. I researched an alternative, and found a wrap type pad that Velcro together around your waist, which was heat activated by a simple cellphone type charger. The charger slipped into a little pouch, and a wire in the pouch hooked up to the charger. It was a thin battery, not much weight to it. I wrapped that pad around my waist, and slipped the battery into the pouch. It worked so well. No one said a thing about it. I did not try to hide it either. Prior to boarding, I took it off and put it in my carry on suitcase. Nothing was said. The steward had to have seen it laying on the nightstand several times too. I got it from amazon.

They took me behind the counter to the holding room to open my bag in their presence since it was locked with a TSA approved lock.

We took a Canada-New England cruise on Carnival and they told us that we had to either return them to our vehicle or that they would be confiscated because they looked like bullets. All you had to do was look at them (which they did) to know that they weren't but because they looked like bullets on the Xray, they were going to take them.

I could charge my phone and use my flattening iron at the same time.

Not confiscated exactly but Down to the naughty room for explanation A friend wore the swim dress type of bathing suit. Usually those will float up in the water. She had found that pulling little weights in the hem would keep that from happening. The screeners saw all this metal and thought they were some kind of ammunition.

And it's nice to be able to carry it back to the room to take pills at night or just have something to drink when you get back to your room. Just follow the rules for filling it up, they will be posted, sometimes they want you to use a separate cup.

My husband always has a knife in his pocket (he's my MacGyver). NCL said under 4" blade was allowed. It was in the suitcase because we flew to the port, totally forgot about it. Had a note in our room to go to the naughty room. They measured the blade at just over 4" so it was held during the cruise. We did get it back at the end.

Interesting. Perhaps it’s not on every cruise line

I went on 7 previous cruises and took a surge protected power strip on all of them and never had anyone tell me they weren't permitted, and I took them in my carry on that was inspected by security.. Since I found out, I went and bought a non surge protected strip for a few dollars at Walmart. Some of the other items mentioned are a little over the top to me..

MANY years ago, as we were going through security check before getting on the ship, I was pulled aside and they started going through my purse. They were very serious, and it was a little scary. I had no idea what was going on, then one of the security guards starts laughing as he pulled out my keys, which had a whistle on it. On camera that whistle looked like a small gun. We all had a good laugh, and I never carry any whistles or anything that looks like that whenever I travel and have to go through security.

Just had 1) heating pad & 2) multi elec plug confiscated. Plug was NOT surge protected, but cruz said 4 plug split too many.

A life long buddy just did an Alaska Cruise and had an amazing time. One of his Daughters brought that steamer thing. It didn't get discovered until Ketchikan and the room stew took it but left a detailed note why. "Cruise approved" per Amazon...oh no it was not. The best part of the story was they had to wait a full HOUR at cruise end but didn't know why....it was the steamer back!

If the room steward removes any of my belongings I hope the "atta boy" from their manager is worth the tip they're no longer receiving.

I had a cruise approved adapter confiscated at Bayonne, NJ. I've heard others complain about this port also.

What do you suggest for CPAP users as far as an extension cord? The plugs are not usually located in convenient places in the stateroom

we had small portable fans taken from us on our Disney cruise.

No!! Uggh too bad

I had a friend who was able to bring on brown cheese from a port as guest services said he could as long as it was in sealed packaging and not opened.

I was able to bring flowers on that I bought at Pikes Place in Seattle, but maybe it was because we stayed in the US?

I always get the Alcohol package be cause we always get to the 15 drink max every time

Does Liberty of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) have blackout window treatments in their balcony rooms?

I use a CPAP machine and bring an extension cord with me. Without it, I am unable to use the machine because of outlet locations.

I never knew camouflage clothes was not allowed...good to know.

I have A LOT of food allergies. I bring 1/2 a carry on suitcase with food to eat throughout the cruise. Cooking oil, pure honey, pure maple syrup, meat sticks, cashew butter, rice cakes…..are all ones I have brought onboard with no problem. IF they were to ask I have copies of my medical testing to prove that I can not have what most can have. I have never been denied my food on the ship but I am careful about taking food off and onto the islands.

Good video. QUESTION: Did Princess raise the price of their drink packages by adding an 18% gratuity to them?

In some countries, it is only allowed for their military to wear & is illegal otherwise.

A Leatherman multi tool led me to the naughty room.

lol I think you’re not the only one

I am cruising next year on the back end of an extended holiday to Canada, what should I do about the multi tool and drone I will have once I get to the cruise port?

They will typically keep items until the end of the cruise if not allowed on board/ best to call & ask

My husband has a camouflage bag. Is that allowed?

Had an all plastic steamer for previous (pre-covid) cruises, but it looks like anything that generates heat is out. I guess spray wrinkle reducer is the answer.

Don’t be surprised if you’re still found to walking around in wrinkled clothing-I won’t be able to do it.

Have to say I have taken fresh flowers with me boarding in Miami, Long Beach, Seattle, Vancouver, Southampton and Amsterdam. I knew it might not be allowed but it was only questioned once and then allowed.

I was able to take a heating pad (not a blanket) on a cruise. I had asked their customer service ahead, printed the email, and had a note from my doctor. I have taken a tiny travel iron on a cruise, but it was many years ago. The room divider curtain is about it’s not going to have the fire retardant on it.

My husband got his Swiss army knife confiscated at the beginning of one cruise. At the end of the cruise he picked it up. Unfortunately, it had been shrink wrapped and the only tool he had to break open the shrink wrap was the wrapped knife🤦‍♀️

I am amazed you got the knife on the plane. I always leave my Swiss army knife at home. The maker of Swiss army knives is planning to release a model of the Swiss army knife without a blade, just the tools.

@@lindabradford9591 I had the exact same thing happen while going to a golf tournament. Fortunately the device had no sentimental value, so I told the security person they could have it. My Swiss army knife is another matter.

I haven’t been caught with anything naughty, but my son bought me that steamer for Christmas and it’s a total piece of crap. It worked great…twice! I haven’t been able to get it to work again.
