Am I allowed to carry on a corkscrew with my 2 bottles of wine? Or do I need to pack in my luggage? Thanks-yes I know I can ask my cabin attendent for one. Thanks

You can carry a corkscrew, but I would not carry the kind with the knife.

I pack mine in my check luggage to avoid any delays at the airport. At the cruise terminal I put in my carry on. If cruise line wants to take it or have a second look I would rather that they do it at the check point than have my luggage delayed. So far the cruise line has not bothered to look at my corksrew.

 

Here is a corkscrew that doesn't have a blade. https://www.amazon.com/Franmara-Boomerang-Step-Corkscrews-Color/dp/B00480DYY2/ref=sr_1_134?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1480680519&sr=1-134&keywords=corkscrew+wine+opener

weelllll.. we have had ours confiscated at security in our carry on then returned to us later in the day..

 

we have also been able to take it on board in our c/o without a problem.

 

and we have also had it in checked and it was not held at the naughty room.

Never had an issue with either TSA or ship security in my carry on.

 

I recent bought a metal bottle opener at a Key West port stop and that thing has caused me more issues with TSA than I care to mention.

 

I finally asked after the 3rd secondary check. I was told since the bottle opener, nail clippers, and cork screw were packed so close together it raised a red flag on the scanner. Now I have them packed in different locations (only a few inches apart and two flights with no issues.

Do not have it in checked luggage, I always have wine opener with tiny knife, had it in carry on for dozens of cruises , on recent cruise had it in checked luggage and was called to naughty room , told them what it was and then they gave me luggage with wine opener, but on plane need to do opposite but it in checked luggage

And funny enough they work perfectly well.

They are the pull straight up type with no leverage.

So require a little brute force to open a bottle.

 

Any gentleman should be able to use one.
