SCFCRUISER Posted December 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not sure 100% if it is ok. We always pack it in our checked bags to be sure, since it has a pointed end on it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody000 Posted December 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2010 We always check it in with our big luggage. I just never wanted the hassle of security stopping us and wasteing time just to see its ok to bring on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandBistro Posted December 18, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Okay for carry-on to the ship, but not on an airplane. Carried one on last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeBeeCee Posted December 18, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2010 We had ours in the carryon when we got on the ship 2 weeks ago...no problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogwildest Posted December 18, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yeah, on a plane there's no way, but on the ship it's cool. After all, they pass out steak knives and you can buy or bring all sorts of things that could potentially be a weapon. The difference between a ship and a plane is that there's just no easy way to hijack a cruise ship, and no real reason for the criminally inclined to do so in the first place. Corkscrew away, and happy sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
more cruises Posted December 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I know each and every TSA agent interprets the rules their own way but according to the TSA blog website corkscrews are allowed: "Corkscrews are a little tricky, but also permitted. Let's be clear, corkscrews without knives. We know many corkscrews have the little knife that help cut the metal wrapping on a bottle, those are not allowed, but the little corkscrews with no knife are. Clear? No? Let's try this. Fancy schmancy corkscrews with knives, no. Cheap corkscrews with no knife, yes." For more info go to: http://blog.tsa.gov/2009/05/tsa-urban-legends-nail-clippers.html Anyway, that's the info for the airlines. You'll have no trouble at all taking it on the ship.

tartisst Posted December 20, 2010 #12 Share Posted December 20, 2010 We just throw it in an interior pocket in our luggage along with our wine aerator (which comes in a nice little pouch). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted December 20, 2010 #13 Share Posted December 20, 2010 We have our room steward open it for us so once less than to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoray Posted December 20, 2010 #14 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The attached TSA list says it IS permitted in carry-ons. It's item #2 under Personal Items, 2nd page down. http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/prohibited_and_permitted_items_10-24-07.pdf And that does apply to air travel. .

taillon Posted December 20, 2010 #15 Share Posted December 20, 2010 In October we packed a small travel corkscrew in our checked luggage. The luggage was searched but nothing was confiscated. I think they searched it because it had drink mixers in it, which I am sure looked like liquor bottles on the x-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted December 20, 2010 #16 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Last trip ours broke. The room steward brought us a Carnival one and said we could keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
