Hey, cruisers, we are back with a fun little video on prohibited items on a cruise. We've done lots of videos on what to pack for a cruise, but not so many on what NOT to pack on a cruise. We had a lot of fun with this one, but there definitely are some items prohibited on a cruise, and trying to pack prohibited cruise items can lead to embarrassment, and big delays for you and your cruise ensemble. Of course, we don't cover everything that is prohibited on a cruise, so be sure to check out your cruise line's prohibited items list if you have any questions or concerns about what not to pack for a cruise. We had some help from our subscribers on real stories about what items are prohibited on a cruise, so big thanks to them for helping out. Their contributions help make this topic a bit more fun to watch. If you want information about what to pack for a cruise vacation be sure to check out some of our previous packing for a cruise videos: • Packing for a cruise -...

Great video Sherri. We can't believe some of the things people bring with them either. We haven't ever been called to the "naughty room" and don't intend to. LOL It's a fun place to walk by and see all the weird items people try to sneak aboard though. LOL
When I think of Items that most cruise ship companies do not allow longboard, I think of a list of weapons that Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority doesn’t allow into The East Asian country without lawful permits or other authorization that is mentioned in the TH-cam video “Crimewatch 2010 episode 5 - To declare or not to declare” & that includes, but is not limited to:
- Handcuffs
- butterfly knives
- nunchuckus
- flick knives
- Barongs (type of knife of Southern Philippine origin)
- kukris
- batons (also known as truncheons)
Hi FRANK!!
can i bring a drone??
Excellent video..thanks for all the effort and work you put into your videos! Always informative. Keep up the good work.
one time I was going trough security and the family in front of me packed their own life jackets
Daniel Patterson XD
Is that like those poofy coats....I had one of those, once. no one could sit in the front seat when I was driving, didn't have room...they had to sit in the back seat....
Wonder why they bothered. Cruise lines are required to make sure there are more than enough of those for every passenger.
😂🤣😂Just trying to be extra safe
Quantavious Jones I was going too do that 😂
Bring thermacare heat wraps instead of the heating pad
I'm addicted to your channel! I started watching and now I can't stop!
Thank you Sherri, love watching your videos.
great video! we were actually planning on bringing handcuffs on our cruise in a couple of weeks! glad to have this psa !
Great into! Thank you Sheri.
My son and I was chaperoning our high school choir on Royal Caribbean and being the techie he is he put a surge bar in his carry on. The kids and I had a good laugh at his expense since we were all held up while he was "talked to". Lesson learned.
So glad u posted this! Going on royal caribbean cruise in a month & i was so ready to pack my steamer!!! Ugh! Back to the drawing board...i have tried wrinkle release sprays but they don't seem to get the job done.
Btw, i bought packing cubes because of all ur awesome packing videos! Never knew they were a thing until ur videos, keep 'em coming!
What did you do for your wrinkled clothes? Going on RC and trying to think of alternatives.
If you can pack a hair straightener, then you can also use that as an iron... I've done it. Just be very careful and don't leave it on clothes for very long.
SICK Lawrence Welk reference! Thanks for the tips.
Hi Sheri, good info as usual. I got off a cruise a few weeks ago and they were also making a big deal about the Samsung Note 7. They even went so far as to say if a cabin steward saw one in your room, it would be taken. They said they would be put in a safe place and be returned at the end of the cruise. I'm retired law enforcement and once traveled with a backpack I recently took to the range for qualifying and they found five empty magazines I thought they did a good job catching them even though they arent much good without bullets and a gun. LOL They offered to let me take them back to my car or they would have to bring a police officer come over and talk to me. I could have gone back to the desk and just register as an armed flyer. The cop was nice and offered to lock them up in their office and I picked them up when I got home.
Yep, that bullet thing happen more often than people realize. My son had it happen to him at the airport. One tiny bullet had slipped into a tiny crevasse of his backpack. He had NO IDEA, but they can find anything with those scanners! Now he does not put that type of gear in his luggage. Lesson learned!
Thank you so much.
hahha the things people bring on a ship , really enjoyed this episode .at the screening section before you board my brother in law on one cruise had long bladed scissors taken away and the next cruise it was a pocket knife my hubby and i decided the next cruise we would meet them on board.
Great tip on not bringing a steamer... because I was definitely going to!
Loved the TBT to Lawrence Welk show!
+danesha spearman heehee! Glad you can appreciate it :)-
Hi Sheri. You whipped up another great vlog, as usual. I don't know if you remember, but I told you in an earlier vlog that I used to work on one of the big three. My answer to your title is "good grief, where should I even begin?"
Haha, NO kidding huh?
lol I can't believe someone would take a toaster on a ship!!
I have smuggled booze on a time or two 🤦🏾♀️🙈
my wife bring her own pillow.....has 2 have her own....
the guy in the cabin next to me was furious cause they confiscated his nespresso machine AND bagel toaster...
Edna's World what’s the best way to take booze on a ship and not get caught lol
Guess you ain't allowed to cook in your stateroom!
My dinner table mate's son brought a whole case of .22's bullets onboard. Delayed the ship 30 minutes while the captain gave his blessing
Great tips!
+Scott Lara thanks so much!!!
I love your videos! "Know Your SHI (P)!!!!LMAO That's a great t-shirt! You need to get that patented and pressed up. I would definitely buy a few! Lol
Fun video. Looking forward to going on my first cruise.
+chelly marie nice! Thanks for the kind comment!
i really dont want to go on a cruise to be so limited, thanks for the tips, this has helped me decide against taking a cruise
You don’t look nearly old enough to pull off a Lawrence Welk reference. Nicely done.
That was nice list :)
For the no irons one u can use staithers they do the same job
A coffee press is a great idea!
Packing now and needed to know about the iron. Thanks. 7th cruise and still didn't know.
Have a wonderful cruise!!!
I always take a mini steamer I bought on hsn on all of my disney cruises. my husband and I are embarking on our first disney cruise kid free to alaska and I'm looking for tips on packing for flight and cruising for an overpacjer like myself. i cant imagine taking only 3 pairs of shoes. We usually drive to ports but this one we have to fly to. So I'm looking for tips on not over packing. This is very helpful. Thanks
Regarding taking wine aboard- most lines allow it, but also charge a "corkage fee" to open and serve it to you. May still cost less than buying theirs, and you can have exactly what you want, but you are not getting by completely free on it.
My iron was taken on Royal, but I got away with it on Norwegian. Next time, I'm taking a 2 1/2 inch flat iron. I was good when they took the iron because I ironed everything before leaving and packed it in packing cubes and used the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Spray...worked like a charm in the steamy shower.
I'm going on my first cruise in 3 days!
Really that's cool. I'll hopefully be going on my second cruise with my mom in July this year :) . The ship we are going on will be the Liberty of the Seas from Royal Caribbean.
JoshKicks what ship?
Ryan Pipgras i am going on the Norwegian breakaway
TheMeloettaful same except different ship
JoshKicks, I’m going on my fourth cruise this summer
Another reason to check policies in advance is with DRONES! I know the Princess does NOT allow them onboard, even packed away for use in the ports. Carnival permits them to be stored in the room, but must be used off the ship and according to the rules of the respective country [makes sense!].
I think Emily was talking about my dad he accidentally had a loaded bullet in his hunting bag even though he had washed and dried it a week before. Safe to say we got delayed an hour or two
I've been binge-watching your channel, and I just wanted to thank you. I feel so much more prepared and excited because of you. I can tell how much work goes into these videos, and I'm so grateful. I bought some items through your marketplace, and I was wondering if you'd add the GoPro in there! I'm going to get my husband one for his birthday, and I'd love to buy it through your marketplace.
Lisa! Hello and thank you for the kind words! Yes, I’ll
Get that GoPro back in the store immediately- which model are you after!?
The Hero 5 is the one I heard you talk about (I actually heard that specific thing on your cruise gift podcast time).
They’re both in the shop now Lisa. Let us know if we can help further ❤️🎬
Now I have to choose which model!!! I got so flummoxed, I just ordered sandles and an ID badge holder you had there! Coming back for the Go Pro after more research!
I wonder if they would mind a surprise slip n' slide set up in the atrium? Or a trampoline on the aft?
+thejokerspeaks Hee hee!! but I just had a visual of someone trampolining a little to high and flying overboard :-)
Cruise Ship Buffet Coffee!!! 🤣🍵
Great Video! See you at the live stream tomorrow
+Joey H yay!
"Know your ship before you cruise" - I have watched an UNHOLY number of ship tours specifically for this purpose...
1, 4, 5, 7 all kinda the same thing. heating elements and/or flamey. :)
Your videos have convinced us that a Cruise is not for us. Thank You, we were thinking of Alaska but no more?
going on carnival valor later on this year. Have passport-will travel
A few mini booze bottles can be packed & get by security in shoes. We also use empty & clean saline & contact solution bottles for clear liquors like gin & sliver rum! These are effective for bringing a small amount of alcohol... If you enjoy more than two drinks a day, just go with the ship's alcohol drinks package. Princess, Celebrity & Royal offer great value drink packages.
Renee S. Or maybe just forego the liquor just for a few days. That's an awful lot of trouble for something not necessary
hahahaha this was great! But i want fresh toast!!! LOL
People were able to get pot aboard if they wanted to when I was there (before 9/11 ). Before you had to lose your belt, shoes, etc. they'd just bring it in bodily in their socks and shoes. Getting it on wasn't to hard-using it was. It leaves a rather distinctive odor, for those of you who've never tried it, and you can't do it openly in front of everyone. You could only do it from a balcony cabin and even then people could smell it in the hallway.
Rachael Adler edibles 😉
these are helpful im leaving Sunday for a cruise to Mexico
+peacock anne Bon voyage!
Haven't been on a cruise yet but are curling irons for your hair on the prohibited list?
Knives less than 4 inches blade are ok. So do you pack in carry on bag?
What about a flat iron and curling iron for my hair can you bring them???
Hi Sherri. Thanks for this video and all of the other ones.... A couple of questions. What about a curling iron? I thought I saw that you brought one on a cruise and it does have a heating element. Next question. My son has one of those ecigarette things. Are those permitted? We are going on the Golden Princess to Alaska after it refit. Thanks
Yes both should be fine but the vape can only be used in certain designated areas onboard
are you able to bring a flatiron and blowdryer ?
On one cruise I was questioned about my metal finger nail filler, I was 12 and wanted to be like my mom. On the same cruise my 15yr old sister was questioned about her strawberry green tea she was drinking while tying board. We got some strange looks. This was 15 plus years ago though, customs has changed a lot since then.
What about hair straighteners or curlers?
No bubble machines? Damn!
I have carried a Leatherman multi-tool with me for 20+ years. I don't go anywhere without it I'm going on a Southern Caribbean cruise soon. Will it be a problem to pack my Leatherman in my check-in bag?
Nice video
At Costa Cruise is also prohibited an iron hair... so I tried a hair treatment (keratine) that It went OK three months but It damaged my skin from my hair making a serious burn. So... I don't know how to straigh my hair without spending a lot of money or not using an iron hair on the cruise.
I have cruised many times and I have always been able to pack a bottle of Grand Marnier and a bottle of Kahlua to add to my drinks especially my coffee in the morning. I understand the cruise line MAY have changed their policies since my last cruise but when I took these items on board they do not have to smuggled on board surreptitiously. They were new in the box and in plain view in my luggage. Btw, I will NOT ever step foot on a Carnival owned ship. NEVER. I had to argue back and forth with some Carnival cruisers about getting free soda and free soft serve ice cream 24/7 on the ship I was on. They kept saying that was “impossible”. I told them they need to step up and cruise on a better cruise line for a classier experience. We got free soda AND free soft serve ice cream 24/7 on the ship I was on. I never knew that ANY ship line did not offer at least free soda on the ship.
carnival is a great cruise line for people who cant afford fancier one. young families, college kids etc. that doesnt make them bad cruise line, just a rowdier ship. get over yourself.you could have mde your comment about the booze and been on your merry way but instead you just had to be negative.
Is it alright for a small travel iron I cruise in next week
I always wish that I could bring my Kurig every cruise. lol
I’m going on a cruise tomorrow!!!!!!!
Hi Sherri, what about flat irons for hair?
Yes they are allowed
I know they say no water and nothing with a heating element but I was allowed to bring gallons of baby water on board and a baby bottle steamer for my 11 month old to make her bottles while on our 7 day. The steamer has a hot plate but they allowed it with no question.
I have taken a kettle style steamer with me on a lot of cruises and never was stopped for it on Celebrity, RCi and Carnival. I guess I was just lucky :-)
philip L. I actually think celebrity allows them. I have brought my little mini steamer and I worked.
Aw man I wanted to get high on a hover board
Hi Sheri. I'm going a bit off topic here. Crystal doesn't have any water slides, and RCL has never had people doing guest lectures, but they ALL have pier runners. I can't speak for anyone else, but I think a vlog on that would be great (probably good for a thousand thumbs up too :). ).
+Toni O'hara i would love to- we will keep en eye out for them. We've had "slightly late pier walkers" who were more like speed walking to the ship but I've never actually seen any runners
I got a good laugh outta this one! Um yeah its for a uh Halloween costume....LOL I am surprised they confiscated the nutri bullet blender tho.
So I have a spine issue and use a heating pad Day and night. I understand the fire hazard, but is there a way I could have permission from a medical reason to use it?
you should do a video on transatlantic cruises
+I was Here that's a good idea!
Can you bring a flashlight? I carry a small pocket flashlight with a clip on it in my pocket. Sounds silly but they come in pretty handy when you're trying to look for something in a poorly lit area.
You sure can!
Thanks for the reply!
Im getting in a cruise in 4 days but my mother's birthday is also during that time so does it means i cant bring candles?
Sheri, what about hair flat irons?
Yes, you can pack them :-)
A couple a few cabins down from us were taken off the ship on the first day in cuffs because they brought drugs on board. Unlike passengers, police CAN bring hand cuffs on board! And how embarrassing for that couple!
grew up with Lawrence...but never needed a bubble machine...
Can there be a water gun for the ships pool
I have a fairly restrictive diet and I make bulletproof coffee daily. I was going to take my mini hand blender on my 22 day cruise. I guess I'll need to check with the cruise line to see if I can bring it. I'd hate for it to be confiscated.
It’s probably okay but if you have to replace it, a mini whisk might work - even a motorized one ❤️
boats, bubble machines, toasters??? lol
for the Halloween costumes....yeeeea right! lol Great info. Anyone know about musical instruments? Thought about my acoustic guitar a couple of times
Always Be Booked Cruises and Vacations HI. I used to work on one of the big three but it's been awhile. Back then you could bring an instrument so long as it wasn't bigger than a harmonica, more or less. I think the theory was that you might have a few to many and then use your clarinet as a weapon.
Being in the Navy Flooding is the biggest problem on a ship!
Good point!
Can you bring a portable charger
Or a charger
My mom sailed on Royal Caribbean about 3 years ago and got sent to the naughty room after coming back from port for bringing a piece of coral she found
Oh no!!!!!
Do you think anyone would notice if I tried to sneak my 25lb Bichon, Bubba on board?? He is a certified companion dog - but he also failed basic obedience twice!! He's a good boy (cuter than the towel animals), but he whines incessantly when he sees food - the buffet would be Bubba's favorite place on the ship!!
+bonnie bergstein Poor Bubba! He'd be all over those chicken tenders!
Bubba would be the one wearing his tuxedo keeping his eyes on the chef at the slicing station (but chicken tenders would make him wag his little tail too)!!
What about hair irons and hair tools??
I recently saw a TH-cam video posted by someone who works on a cruise ship - and her French press is a must have for her!!
bonnie bergstein The personal grooming and clothing rules are different for the crew than for the passengers. Have you ever seen a waiter in a rumpled coat?
Rachel - the French press was a coffee press!! I always thought the crew's uniforms were done thru the ship laundry? I know they're responsible for their personal clothing - but from what I have seen (on Cruise Ship Diaries on National Geographic), the crew has their own laundry room, with irons and ironing boards!! And no - I have never seen a "rumpled" crew member!! Always crisp, clean and neat!!
bonnie bergstein Can you tell that I'm not a coffee drinker. There's a self serve laundry for your personal clothes. Back when I worked on the ship we all had curling irons, blow dryers, etc.
Rachel, I'm not a coffee drinker either. I like tea (iced or hot), but I know many people are quite particular about their coffee!! One of my friends always gets the hot beverage/package on the cruises - she loves her lattes, and I love how Princess makes their swan out of the foamy milk!! I'm content with room service delivering a pot of hot tea with the continental breakfast (love the chocolate croissants) first thing in the morning - the rest of my group has coffee or Diet Coke, and fresh fruit and pastries (and then we go to breakfast)!
Are Rachel and Caroline the same person?? Seems like I see the same answers from both of you - maybe that's why I got that "error message"??
Are straightners allowed ?
Are curling wants and straighteners prohibited too? It said on our cruise line website that they are. I was hoping that was just a suggestion. I don’t think I could survives week without my hair tools.
Yes, they are FINE. I take them on every cruise.
hello cherry what are your thoughts on buying insurance from the cruise line ? thanx
+sam hanhan if it's okay with you, I will answer on Tuesday's vlog :-)
A person would have to be high to bring a canoe on board
thanks for the information.... wife & I are doing out 1st cruise next year.... even we're not dumb enough to know that you can't bring a toaster or iron onboard a ship.... I might have to ask Celebrity cruses about my wifes hair straighteners though
+Nick Lambert hair straighteners and curling irons are totally fine :-)
great thanks for that... wife doesn't go anywhere without them!
Or electric strips
Wow Sheri - I wonder how I got those handcuffs on my last cruise?? And the hookah and the toaster oven??? And a one and a two......!!!!
You know my friends' mother did sneak her scotch on the ship hidden in the Listerine bottles - and we didn't go to the "naughty" room!! They never have found the matches I always carry with me (waterproof - in case I end up in a lifeboat)!!
Hey Caroline - I don't drink so it wasn't something I would have even thought of, but apparently 2 years ago the ship's crew didn't want to stop an 83 yr old lady from bringing her Listerine with her!! Hazel managed to get 2 bottles on board (and she was doing wheelchair escort boarding the ship)!! BTW - she also purchased her whiskey sours and Bloody Mary's everyday - but she likes to sip her scotch on the rocks in the evening!! I used to travel with a friend who brought her own travel iron (never confiscated), and I always pack a power strip because I rent a mobility scooter for use on the ship!! So far, I have never been sent to the "naughty room" (I've heard the brig is right next to the morgue - 2 areas of the ships I don't plan on touring)!
Caroline - I tried to give you a 👍🏼, but I got an error message!!
bonnie bergstein Hi. The Listerine thing isn't a new trick and the lines have gotten wise to it. There are videos about it, and other ways to smuggle booze onto the ship, all over TH-cam. You can even buy the supplies on EBay. Just be prepared to lose it because more of it gets caught then doesn't.
I brought a brand new bottle of ACT mouthwash with its original seal on my last cruise, and when I got it the seal had been broken. Those seals encompass the entire neck and top of the bottle, but they still didn't trust it.
Did you have the bottle in your carry on?? If something had been in my packed luggage, and the seal was broken, I'd be afraid to use it!! Isn't Act a blue or green color? What could they think it is?? At least original Listerine is that nice golden color (just like scotch)!! And my friend's 84 yr old mother had the bottle in her carry on - no one checked it when we went thru security!! Compared to airline security (I felt like I was being molested last month when I was flying to Boston - I guess they thought I was smuggling something in my cervical neck collar). It's been 2 years since my last cruise, but I always get thru security without any problems - even with a carry on containing all my meds - some are liquid - but they're in their original prescription bottles!! I only pack travel size mouthwash - new bottles that have never been tampered with!! If I board the ship early, I watch the luggage being loaded on the ship from my balcony - and i watch the drug sniffing dogs checking everything, including all the fresh produce on the pallets ready to be loaded onboard!!
So, why was my can of hairspray confiscated (on Royal Caribbean) last year???
Disney Cruise Line allows beer actually :)
At least they allowed it last year when we went during the summer
I need my fan to sleep, and they took my fan, so we went to customer service after the ship left port, told them i need my fan to sleep, so they gave it back, so let them take it, and then complain your cant sleep without it. maybe your will get it back, this was with Norweigian cruise lines,
What really bothers me is not only can't I bring my bubble maker, but that I'm old enough to know what the thing is..
+carolyn lucca haha, exactly!
Lol. I feel your pain
I grew up with Laurance Welk. Loved the bubbles.
Going on first cruise in March. Are hair straightening irons allowed?
Yes they are 🤗
hi, I make my DIY disinfectant and bug spray n body spray,etc with rubbing alcohol,vinegar,ACV ,distilled water and essential oils...are these allowed on the ship,especially rubbing alcohol (new sealed one from the store)...or will it be confiscated? thanks:)
is it better to make the mixes, label it and take it , to avoid any issues with security?
+SarSrik ss98 definitely pre mix!
I want to take my drone on a cruise to use at ports. I know idoits have ruined this for most cruise lines as some have tried flying them on the ship. There's a simple storage system any cruise ship can do to make this easy for a fee. Have the staff secure your drone and release it to you upon getting to port. Then you check back in with security upon returning. They take your equipment and you get it back upon disembarkation. I missed out on taking aerial photos and footage in Bermuda because of the strict no Drone policy. Even shipping my Drone was prohibitive because they charge tax on the value of the Drone. So my Phantom 4 Pro would of exceeded $600 in shipping. I do hope cruises can accommodate for this hobby in the future as anyone with a cell phone can take decent on the ground shots of their vacation. But a drone while not uncommon as it use to be still offers breath taking photos.
Flamey? Isn’t it Flammable?
