Tetra Posted October 31, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Here's your weird question of the week... :) Does RCCL allow knitting needles to be brought on board? I know I can't bring scissors or anything with a blade. I've got a pair of socks half done and figured it would be a nice thing to do while watching the ocean go by. I know the TSA allows knitting needles in checked or carry on bags, just not sure about cruise ships. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama24 Posted October 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I hope so, because I was planning on bringing mine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaOak1 Posted October 31, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yes, I've taken my knitting on several cruises. I have even taken scissors, the child's blunt point ones, on planes and cruises. Loved sitting in the Solarium on the Jewel Transatlantic a few years ago, watching the ocean go by and knitting away on all those sea days!

Daghis Posted October 31, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've brought my knitting on board (usually using Addi Turbo needles) without any problems. As far as scissors, Royal Caribbean does actually allow shorter scissors ("Scissors with blade length less than 4 inches are allowed."). Another item that you might consider if you don't want to bring scissors is a "Yarn Cutter Pendant" (shown below). It allows you to cut the yarn, but is otherwise safe to carry since the blades themselves aren't exposed. Plus, it's fashionably decorative. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesSaltwater Posted October 31, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I might also bring some knitting, but just to avoid the occasional employee who is either misinformed or just overzealous (and they are out there), I'll stick to circulars/flexible needles and figure there's less chance of an issue. Easy enough to knit from what you're currently using, onto a pair just before leaving on trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChuckFL Posted October 31, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think as long as you put them in your luggage you should be fine. Just don't put them next to your iron or booze ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted October 31, 2011 #9 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Here's your weird question of the week... :) Does RCCL allow knitting needles to be brought on board? Yes. A month ago on the Jewel there was a lady (several actually, I think) who I saw knitting in the Solarium almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
