Lighter Fluid allowed on CCL?

[Avril]

I have a refillable, windproof, waterproof lighter that I use for cruising (I'm a smoker). I'm sailing on the Vista in October 2016 and am wondering if I could bring a bottle of lighter fluid onboard (in my checked luggage of course) so I can refill it during the cruise if I need to. It's a 13 day cruise (the Transatlantic) so I'm a bit worried about wether it hold enough fuel for that long without having to refill it. I've never used it on my Carnival cruises before so never thought about wether it would be allowed or not.

 

Thanks!! :D

Highly inflammable. Doubt it.

Ya, I was thinking that. Just wanted to make sure. However, if I put it in my checked luggage, how would they know it was there (or what was in the bottle)?

please think twice before trying to sneak in very flammable liquids

This.

[cb at sea]

Regular lighters are fine...bring a bunch. "Torch" lighters are NOT allowed.

The threadstarter has 4700 posts and is Platinum, he obviously knows you can't bring lighter fluid on a cruise ship.

 

This thread is nothing more than SPAM BAIT

I have a battery operated wind proof lighter. It is a little heavy but it works well.

Can I bring 2 already full? Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything to risk the safety of the ship and her passengers and crew unless Carnival said I was allowed to bring it on. You'll be perfectly safe, I promise!! :D See you onboard.
