anonymousegirl Posted July 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hi all, First time on O and first time trying to bring a hair straightening iron on board. The O FAQ is ambiguous, saying flat irons are prohibited, which could refer to clothing irons, or hair straightening irons. So, I'm going to chance it and bring my hair iron in my carry-on next week. I won't cry buckets if it is confiscated, but I would like it back after the cruise. Anyone have any experience getting a confiscated item returned? Thanks, Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifdoglover Posted July 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I bring a brush/iron everywhere but it does have auto shutoff… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifdoglover Posted July 1, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Never confiscated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDincalif Posted July 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2023 During an Alaskan port stop J purchased an ulu knife, which was (unsurprisingly, in retrospect) on return to ship confiscated by security. J was provided with a signed receipt which, when presented to guest services, allowed for return of the item the night prior to disembarkation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJL2023 Posted July 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2023 How about a heating pad with an automatic shutoff? I called before a recent cruise because it was really not clear on the website as I have cranky back at times. When I called they just said no, not allowed. Luckily I did not have a need for it but just curios if others have taken one or had issues trying to take one onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woofa Posted July 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2023 My wife brought a hair straightener on our Riviera in January, unplugged it after every use, no problems that we know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmerl Posted July 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2023 You can bring a flat iron for your hair with no problem. It is a regular clothes iron that is prohibited. My flat iron was out the entire cruise and was not confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nice they were confident J had no intention of going on a rampage that last night on the cruise!! Probably figured you were too busy packing!!! Just kidding by the way. 🤣 Edited July 10, 2023 by EJL2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Auto shutoff" on a heating device, of any sort, is the most frequently failed part of the appliance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
