here2cruise Posted May 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I just read that Carnival will no longer allow flat irons and other item onboard anymore. Does anyone know if Royal Carribbean does? I will be in big trouble if I can't bring mine and don't want to take the chance of mine getting confiscated. I brought it on my Princess cruise in March without any problems. thanks!

kh81828587 Posted May 17, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2010 We were on the Freedom a few weeks ago and I brought mine with no problems. I won't cruise anymore if I can't take it. My hair is totally uncontrollable without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredonthesea Posted May 17, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 17, 2010 WOW, If your referring to flat irons for your hair, we women (maybe some men) will all be uprising over that! Took mine last Nov. on FOS without any problems--now we will have to find a way to sneak those on.(JOKE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poorplaya Posted May 17, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thats crazy that Carnival would remove those from being brought on any of their cruises any more. I can imagine how upset any of their cruisers would be if they couldnt bring those on any more. I would hope RCCL doesn't do that because I know my wife would not be very happy at all if that were the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted May 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2010 No hair appliances will equal no cruise for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticks1 Posted May 17, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2010 This is still in the FAQ section on Carnival's website. Flat Irons are not listed on the prohibited items list. Miscellaneous Concerns: • Personal grooming devices such as hair dryers, flat and curling irons, shavers, etc., are allowed on board when used with proper caution. These devices should not be used when other electrical appliances are plugged in. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted May 17, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I would never cruise without my flatiron. If RCCL stopped letting women bring them, there would be a mutiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted May 17, 2010 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I didn't know what a flat iron was..... we call them straighteners over here.... and there is no way I would cruise on a line that denied their use. I'm looking at getting some cordless ones for travelling but am concerned that they may not get hot enough..... any one use these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought A flat iron was what they used to iron clothes befiore there were electric irons. They had to be heated up in the fireplace or woodstove !!!!

Cruzaholic41 Posted May 17, 2010 #14 Share Posted May 17, 2010 That does it for me. I do not travel without my flat iron. I'm done with Carnival. Oh well, no huge loss. My Carnival experiences have been mostly mediocre anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribbeanH2OLover Posted May 18, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I brought mine on the Adventure of the Seas in November and had no problem. My hair would be a hot mess if I couldn't bring one LOL. I had mine in my suitcase and it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jking917 Posted May 19, 2010 #17 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Can you imagine all the women walking around with bad hair for the whole cruise?? My daughter and I are addicted to our flat irons. There is no way I would want to cruise without it. If you ban it then be prepared to straighten our hair for free at the salon otherwise you are going to have some pretty upset women. Hmm wonder if thought of this rule.....either a man who is clueless or a woman who is not a slave to her hair. I think they need to rethink this.
