Lightsabers?

We are planning a cruise on Carnival and were wondering if anyone knows of any policies that will keep us from bringing those toy light up light sabers? Please and thank you

Best to ask this on the Carnival board. EM

I wouldn't bring them. Someone might think it's a weapon! There have been instances where kids have been expelled from school for pointing their FINGER like a gun....it would be terrible if commonsense was overruled and you were thrown off the ship. Which could happen if they decide that toy is a weapon.

Not sure why you would need or want them on your cruise.

My fear would be that no matter what someone tells you or written rule you find that doesn't dis-allow it - once you get to check-in, they could be pulled from your luggage and not allowed by whoever is there. Then you risk losing them (depending on if you drive to the port and can run back to the car, or if they catch them once on board and will then allow you pick up at the end of the cruise). Sounds like setting yourself up for complications.

Best,

Mia

Just a thought...if it's light you want, bring glow sticks...they are allowed.

I'm not sure why you'd want to take them.... they look fairly unwieldy to pack. My kids have a few different light sabers and they all make a bunch of noises, all of which would be pretty annoying.

I'd vote for glow sticks instead.

She doesn't want them for children to play with, she wants a lightsaber arch for her wedding. She forgot to mention that.

Yes OMG I'm sorry!! I completely forgot to mention that I am asking because I am having a Star Wars Themed wedding and thought that they would make a fun addition for the leaving ceremony arch. I am open to all sorts of ideas and thought that families with little kids would be the ones to know so thought I would ask here.

We have seen them (or something similar) that was purchased in port by a family and held until the end of their cruise (safety concern)...sorry but it sounds doubtful....

If on the otherhand you are using the services of the ship for your wedding..I would contact your cruiseline wedding planner directly for an answer.

Congratulations on your wedding and "May The Force Be With You"

Definitely check with your cruiseline wedding planner! We got married at sea & were able to board with candles (for unity cancel). We coordinated with our planner in advance & there was no issue at boarding.

Will do thank you for the advice :D

Congratulations on your nuptials and may the force be with you.:)

I can't find the post now but someone had their son's light saber confiscated by the TSA and, believe it or not, it wasn't even the hard kind, it was a blow up. Said it could be used as a weapon. I guess like, "20 lashes with a wet noodle".:rolleyes: So, if you're flying, don't try to carry them on.

There's a great idea here!

Look for blow up light sabers and inflate them onboard.

Give someone a uniform and a badge and look out.:rolleyes:

So Carnival Cruise finally got back to me and this is what they sent me

Boo hiss--Are inflatables completely out of the question then since they don't originally look like a weapon? :-D

Yeah they said no to the inflatable ones as well....

Bottom line is they don't want kids running around the ship with any type of toy. It's too confining of an area and it just lends itself to problems. The kids will want to play with them after the ceremony.

Have you considered that maybe the Star Wars theme won't really mesh with the nautical surroundings?
