Instraments on board?

[newlights]

Does carnival allow you to bring an acoustic guitar?

[kcwingwalker]

It's my understanding that most cruise lines do NOT allow passengers to bring musical instruments on board. Carnival's policy is:

 

Musical Instruments: Only if the guest is participating in a pre-approved ship performance. See http://www.carnival.com/Funville/forums/t/112166.aspx

 

Sorry!

Yes, but one complaint, and they will take it from you, and hold till the end of the cruise.

Actually it is against Carnival's policy to take musical instruments aboard without prior approval and participation in a pre-approved ship performance. From Carnival:

 

RESTRICTED ITEMS – SAFETY AND SECURITY POLICY

 

 

• Musical Instruments: Only if the guest is participating in a pre-approved ship performance.

We've always brought a guitar on board -no problem. If you read the list of items allowed on board, it specifically says musical instruments are allowed, however if there's a complaint they will hold your instrument until the end of the cruise. If you want verification, you can always call the cruise line and ask. Have a great time.

Actually, you are wrong.

 

From Carnival.com:

 

• Musical Instruments: We will allow musical instruments onboard, however, if a noise complaint is received it will be confiscated by shipboard security and returned to the guest on the morning of debarkation.

Looks like the Carnival site has two different policies.

Always go with the core faqs. The other is a rarely moderated message board with outdated info.

I could swear I heard a horn section at the Mexican buffet

From delicate French horns to the mighty tubas

It's was all around funny but never did see a instrument

[KI Cruiser]

Just got off of the Glory. A guy on there had his and did 3 songs on the Lido stage for his wife. The performer let him up on the mic

My husband brought his Woodrow on the Legend 2 years ago and he brought his guitar last year on the Dream. Our friend also brought his acoustic bass last year. No one ever questioned it or said anything but they never played very loud and mostly on our balcony or in the room. But one night they played out side on deck 5 and no one complained. Some people even came out on their balconies above and listened.

[SkyMaster]

HA! The musicians aboard ALWAYS ask me to bring along my TUBA, so we can play some "Dixieland", but it's just a little bit too big to bring along. :eek: I've seen many, many guitars aboard, and have never heard of anyone getting theirs taken away. I think if you use just a little common sense, you'll not have a problem. :cool:

Can I bring my drum set?

[cntrydncr1]

My son wanted to bring his very large horn (euphonium) on our last cruise as he hates to go long without practicing. I said a resounding "NO!" He was upset as the valves were seized up when he got home!! I knew it would be problem though...they would want to confiscate it and he would fight them and it would get ugly!! He is a fanatic and would want to play all day! lol
