NMLady Posted September 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2017 That list is usually in the FAQ's and in the Know Before You Go link. I guess not enough people were seeing it there so they also put it there to make sure people see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uneamie Posted September 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2017 All things are taken seriously of course...........so in light of all these, I do have a small "heating pad" I use nightly for my back.

Rare POA1 Posted September 17, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The knife restriction on a blade of 4 inches or less will make you very competitive in the knife fight against cruisers from the Carnival family (Carnival, Princess, Holland America, etc.) They're limited to a blade length of 2.5 inches. The extra inch and a half might not seem like much, but in close quarters combat every bit helps. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH15 Posted September 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I had my mini blender confiscated on the Sun. The Concierge got it back for me. Looking at this list I do not think it is prohibited. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted September 17, 2017 #16 Share Posted September 17, 2017 25. Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios, satellite phones, transformers, lasers and laser pointersThese items have me curious...I can see them not allowing laser's or laser pointer's, as those can be a hazard to eyes...but what is wrong with a satellite phone, or ham radio equipment? Afraid they will lose revenue from their own service? And transformer's? Just about any device, phones, cameras, etc. use transformers to recharge... And what's the problem with EPIRB? Someone setting off a false alarm or something?.... Very curious, indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The knife restriction on a blade of 4 inches or less The restriction is on knives LONGER than 4 inches. We carry a 3 inch penknife and have had it measured each cruise. But we carry it in hand luggage so the checked luggage doesn't get held up. We move it between luggage types at the hotel between flights and cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess it is similar to airlines restrictions on anything that can transmit in theory can interfere with the aircrafts' navigation systems. The ships' navigation systems are high tech similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you might have something there...someone with a marine band radio transceiver could maliciously interfere with operations, I suppose...far fetched, but possible...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the serious nature of my post, I'm pretty sure that it would be interpreted correctly. I was wrong. So, as a point of correction, I did NOT mean that you can bring a machete, broadsword, or one of those Crocodile Dundee knives. That would not have made any sense in the context of the comparison to the CCL 2.5 inch restriction and the comment about the extra inch and a half being advantageous in a knife fight.

That would not have made any sense in the context of the comparison to the CCL 2.5 inch restriction and the comment about the extra inch and a half being advantageous in a knife fight. The lethality of knife length depends on the area in which you strike and the manner in which you strike. Of course, the "thin skull" rule applies, but that is target specific. Based on the size of the average cruiser, a harpoon may be necessary rather than 2.5" knife blade. And, to note the comment regarding steak knives in Cagneys ... the NCL policy is aspirational ... without detection, prevention, and deterrence ... we hope for the best. Otherwise, we cut our steaks with sporks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
