dkjretired Posted March 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Someone asked on the Bermuda board if you can bring drones to Bermuda. I was curious if Celebrity has a policy either for or against. Let me make it clear that I have absolutely no intention of bringing one but curious with the ongoing fire problems that have occurred if any of the cruise lines established policies.

Fouremco Posted March 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) While there has been an issue with hoverboards catching on fire, I'm not aware of any problem with drones erupting in flames. I would think that cruise lines would resist passengers flying drones while aboard, but I don't believe that they pose a fire risk.

Miller Loves Cruising Posted March 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2016 You can bring a drone onboard but security will hold it in their office while sailing. You can keep the batteries for charging and get the drone back every day in port. Just can't fly it on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the problems have been overshadowed by the hover boards which actually brings up the issue of hover boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted March 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We had a couple of them on a cruise last year. Celebrity took them away. You keep batteries and charger as stated, but we were cautioned to make sure it was legal to fly them when off the ship. Not legal in many areas and my grandson gave up trying to figure out the regulations as they were in Turkish, Greek, Italian etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerial Drones or similar items are not permitted onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmarksx Posted March 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think another concern might be with the ones fitted with a camera. That and a host of other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob the Cruiser Posted March 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Aerial Drones or similar items are not permitted onboard. Excellent. Thank-you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted March 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think another concern might be with the ones fitted with a camera. That and a host of other issues. We spent several nights in Barcelona last fall, and one night from our roof-top terrace room at the Hotel Barcelona Universal we could see a drone moving back and forth, up and down, among neighboring apartment and condo buildings. Wondered if it was a modern-day "peeping tom." But I can't think of any good reason to take a drone on a cruise ship, and also applaud the ban.

neverbeenhere Posted March 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've seen many drones on Celebrity ships just not the drones of the so called aerial kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted March 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Were these passengers, crew or both? Good comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borissman Posted December 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2016 just called Celebrity and they told me it is allowed to bring the drone onboard but they will take it from you when you board. You can have it back at the ports/islands and use at your own risk following local regulations. The information as of 12/16/2016. This makes a lot of sense to me so we can still enjoy our drones at destinations but won't be tempted to use on the ship (which would be really stupid).
