Boarding

[zrxchic]

I'm asking specifically about Carnival here. I've read lots of threads, but didn't see this specific question.

 

When you board, do they go through all carry ons, or just run them through the scanner and flag certain bags. I just want to know if they go through EVERYTHING you carry on or just run through the scanner.

 

Thanks for any help!

They run everything through a scanner like at an airport. You have to empty pockets and the like. It is actually done by terminal security. They will only open bags is something does not look right.

They do not search every carryon bag.

You do not need to take off your shoes. EM

And large liquid bottles of shampoo, lotion, etc, are fine. So are scissors. But no irons. Even curling irons are usually a no-no.

incorrect.

 

hair appliances are absolutely permitted.

 

only clothes irons and steamers are banned.

 

Chic: all bags are scanned through an airport style xray machine. they will also do random inspections even if nothing shows up in the xray. the only difference is there is no size limitation for liquids in your cary on like airports have.

Can we pack the travel size clothing iron in our checked luggage?

No irons are not permitted. They will confiscate it and you can retrive it when the ship returns to port.

Ok. Thanks!

It has been "sometimes" with us. We've been on cruises where our curling iron was confiscated and returned the last night, and other times it has been no problem. I'm not sure why the discrepancy. Thanks for the correction.

They have NEVER taken the curling iron for my hair away ... on Carnival or any other cruise line! :)

I would think there would be an uprising if they took our curling irons. I mean really, I can't do my hair while I'm on a cruise?! I don't go anywhere with my hair straggling and hanging in my face, let alone on a dream vacation. Perhaps your curling iron is really old and doesn't have the auto shut off. That is the ONLY reason I can see for them to not allow your personal item. It's like taking a man's shaver or comb.

:D There would certainly be an uprising if they tried to take our curling irons! :eek:
