Curling Irons on Mardis Gras

[flamingo1562]

Am cruising Carnival Mardi Gras March of 2023.

Are curling Irons allowed on board?

If so what restrictions and guidelines if any are in place regarding the use of curling irons on board?

Thanks for any and all feedback

Yes, curling irons are allowed on board.  Just don't leave plugged in

Just a warning, that I have seen reports on here that newer "ceramic" curling irons will not work onboard cruise ships, due to the electronics in the curling iron.

I can confirm that Sam Villa flat iron did not work on Vista, but Revlon has worked on all other ships I've been on.

Exactly - I threw away a perfectly good (new) curling iron because I thought it had been damaged during travel when the power light would come on but it wouldn't heat up while on the ship (but worked fine the day before in the hotel).  Totally regret not trying it again off the ship, but I figured why lug it back across the country if it wasn't working (and left it in the trash on the ship).
