Hair straighteners

Has anyone had any hair straighteners confiscated when embarking an MSC ship.?

Has anyone had any hair straighteners confiscated when embarking an MSC ship.?

Do you want to run the risk as they are specifically named as prohibited on the luggage labels in the e-tickets and it says they will not be returned??

The wording is on the luggage labels

and I've Copied & Pasted part of them

Quote:-

Guests are advised that MSC

Cruises operates the following

on-board policy with regard to

prohibited items, which include

alcohol (beer, wine, spirits,

champagne, etc.), firearms,

irons, hair straighteners,weapons and sharp objects. Any

such items found in your

luggage when scanned during

the boarding process will

preclude embarkation. Unless a

guest disposes of such items

themselves at this point, they

will be confiscated and not

returned to the guest, without

exception.

Hi, I had a couple of questions about our upcoming cruise December 23 so I went to the MSC web site, when the "live chat" box popped up I connected. Got my questions answered including my question about hair straightener. The MSC rep I spoke to said my "hair iron was ok but not a clothes iron". So I am planning on bringing mine.

Hope this helps

Best you get the name or code of rep you talked to, and time of call. I also know you can but there are inconsistencies at times in the enforcement of policies.

I went on Divina in October, and had my straightening wand in my luggage that arrived in my stateroom around 3:30pm, and had no problems at all. We also took 6 bottles of Aquafina water in each suitcase (had 2 suitcases), and had no problem with that either.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to paste that info.

I've had to make last minute re-arrangements because of the cancelled Costa cruise due to engine problems so not been able to absorb all the info yet.

Taking personal items and not returning them may well be illegal! regardless of what it says on a luggage label.

How to win friends and influence people the MSC way!

Took mine on Preziosa a couple of weeks ago - no problem.

Has anyone ever had theirs taken from them by MSC . I have long hair extensions which need to be straightened after washing so will be a nightmare without them

Bet they have them in the hair salon !!
