new prohibited item list

[Shewuf]

Do the suites have hairdryers on the Ecstasy?

[zqvol]

• Personal grooming devices such as hair dryers, flat and curling irons, shavers, etc., are allowed on board when used with proper caution. These devices should not exceed 700 watts and should not be used when other electrical appliances are plugged in. 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.

 

LOL! Who's is going to determine if they pose a fire hazard:confused: Boy that has cover my butt written all over it.........

 

 

 

Notice the red! No one uses hair dryers that are that weak, that is the complaint with the ones on the ship to begin with.

[optiron]

Would that be a state of euphoria-I had the perception that was what cruising was all about.LOL:rolleyes: Damn you guys are fast.

[sailaway4]

Lets just be happy we have a list.Just no dollar store power strips and fans and duct taped curling irons.Take your white noise machines and sleep well.

Make a copy of the list to take with you.

I know.......I just checked my little travel one and it is double that:rolleyes:

[gargoyle999]

So power strips are not banned? :confused::confused:

[ladyd11933]

So for clarification....electric fans are okay as long as they are in good working order??

Nope. None of the rooms on Ecstasy have hairdryers. Pack your own or you'll save LOTs of money on pictures like I did.:)

[smd1234]

Ta Ta all and happy sailing. I'm not even gonna try to decipher the obscure new list. There are too many other vacaction options.

Happy Sailing all!

 

"Additionally, we reserve the right to confiscate (and destroy) 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."

My travel one is also...700 watt is ridicously low for a hairdryer.

[Meredisney]

I just checked my hair dryer and it says 1875W! Could that be right?!?!?!

Host Mach....see...I knew there would be questions. ;):p:o

Hmmm....just checked mine and it's 1200W. :eek:

[gargoyle999]

I'm just mad now if they are not. I had just worked out how I'd be smuggling my power cords and power strips onto my next cruise! :p

[jamo951]

Confiscated Items

• Alcohol (hard liquor)/sealed, unopened bottles

• Beer/sealed, unopened bottles/cans

 

Prohibited Items – will be disposed of prior to boarding

• Alcohol in unsealed containers

 

So are they saying we can't bring our alcohol on board, but we can drink it all while in line to board? That'll make it a FUN embarkation line!

[Sargent_Schultz]

"Should" is not a requirement.

 

1875 watts could be correct - it probably adds at 125 volts which is 15 amps which most household circuits can handle - as long as you don't plug anything else into the same circuit. On a cruise ship it may work for a while. if a breaker blows, that's what the electricians are for. :cool:

[big_duck]

Unsealed containers = Rum Runners, mouthwash bottles, wineskins etc etc.

 

These will be tossed. The other will be returned at the end of the cruise.

[npstudent]

At the very top:

"Additionally, we reserve the right to confiscate (and destroy) 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."

 

Nice, so now they made it ultra clear that they can take and destroy almost anything at all without any compensation.

[faith31617]

You can't take a boat or canoe on board, geeeeeesh.....would someone really try that? Wait don't answer....lol :p

[ToesntheSand]

You can't take a boat or canoe on board, geeeeeesh.....would someone really try that? Wait don't answer....lol :p

 

I was thinking the same thing but then again it probably wouldn't be on the list if someone hadn't tried to bring one on, right?

[Cool Waters]

NO HANDCUFFS???? OMG, this going to ruin my cruise! This cruise is for our anniversary.......what good is an anniversary without handcuffs:eek:!

[wasiii]

Clean out the dust bunnies and make sure the cord is broken or frayed and you should be fine.

 

.....I can understand the dust bunnies, but why would they be okay if they make sure the cord is broken or frayed? According to the link, that's what they are checking for.

 

:confused:

"Additionally, we reserve the right to confiscate (and destroy) 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."

 

And most of those vacation options (especially if travel is involved) will have similar "caveats".

 

That is the ultimate "cover your butt statement".

 

Question along these lines if you are inline checking in and they flag something say a bad power strip do you have the option of returning to your vehicle (if there) and securing?

Hmmm seems to be a "not" missing I wonder where it went...

 

... oh, here it is in my database query, no wonder that wasn't working.

[Sea Born]

I just checked my hair dryer and it says 1875W! Could that be right?!?!?!

 

Meredisney - Yes, that sound right. Most all of them now days have a LOT more watts than 700! Who could dry their hair with a mere 700 watt dryer - NOT ME! Well, I'm still taking mine (wasn't that expensive to begin with), and if they take it, oh well! I just don't like the fact that they are going to "determine" if it is old, ect! Doesn't seem to be any "clear" guidelines, which leaves it wide open! Oh well, guess we will just have to see how it goes!
