Hairspray Prohibited

[GiftieEtcetera]

Are aerosol cans of hairspray prohibited?

 

I went to the Carnival site and it says aerosol cans are prohibited, but I'm certain I brought hairspray in the past. Do they enforce this? Is there a safety reason?

[easyboy]

Seems a hit or miss. I guess policy on it will be enforced only when in plain sight.

Enforcement is inconsistent and may not, in theory, apply to personal care products in aerosol form.

 

Aerosol cans do pose a safety hazard. It's all a matter of what form or aerosol, under what conditions they are being conveyed and who is conveying them.

I've never heard of hair spray being prohibited. There'd be a lot of upset ladies if that were to happen.

I think is the aerosol..it can start a fire....you can get good hairspray without it

[cb at sea]

Folks bring their spray deodorant...and you can certainly bring your hairspray!

[Doggielover68]

I brought a travel sized can of hairspray without a problem, but if it is a must have item for you, you could bring the kind that comes in a spray bottle.

Isnt it just prohibited if flying? I think the ship allows it. We bring spray suntan lotion, room deodorizer, etc... never without a second thought

Where on the Carnival website did you find this?

In the 2 FAQs I found concerning prohibited items, only compressed gas aerosol canisters are mentioned. These type of products mean things such as canned air to clean electronics or CO2 cartridges to purge certain medical equipment lines. Hair spray in an aerosol can is a compressed liquid. Both FAQs were updated just 9 days ago. (The portion in red is my doing only to highlight the section.)

my husband uses aerosol deodorant and has never had any problems with getting it on the ship. It is in his checked bag and has never been questioned.

[joeyancho]

It makes an awesome flame thrower.

[h_blond2]

I have brought hairspray with me on all of my cruises with no problems.

[vamartha]

I bring aerosol deodorant. I've never had an issue.

[luvcruzing]

I just booked a flight yesterday and checked the prohibited items list. Aerosol hairspray was not on it, so doesn't make sense that cruise lines would prohibit it. I've traveled with a full size can (half full) for years with no issues. And the liquid hairspray in the pump bottles is inferior.

[robin13]

I have never heard of that before and just got off the Breeze with a huge can of hairspray and two little travel size cans. Been on 23 cruises and have never been questioned.

[collect$]

I have been cruising for over 20 years and I bring a can of hairspray every time. Never any problems and it always sits on the dressing table or in the bathroom in plain sight. I have never been told it is not allowed. There would be a riot (of women) protesting if it was not allowed.

[OCruisers]

We've never had a problem taking hairspray with us. :)

[dmdiver]

I've taken hair spray in the past, as did both my daughters.

[Mr and Mrs C]

Darn, I can't bring the handcuffs...
