what not to pack and wine

[agargoyle]

Hi,

I know there always is lots off discussion on what ends up on the"naughty" table and how much wine a person can bring aboard.

 

While tying up loose ends for my October cruise on the Summit I found this page under the "before you board" tab.

Thought it may be helpful. It also answers the question who decides what can be brought on board.

 

 

 

 

 

What Not to Pack

For safety, certain items are not allowed on board. If these are found, they will be confiscated. Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, and dangerous chemicals will not be returned. Prohibited items are at the discretion of the Chief Security Officer and the Staff Captain and include, but are not limited to:

 

• Firearms and ammunition, including realistic replicas
  
• Sharp objects, including knives and scissors*
  
• Illegal drugs and substances
  
• Candles, incense, coffee makers, clothes irons, travel steamers and hot plates, heating pads, clothing irons, hotplates, candles, incense and any other item that may create a fire hazard. NOTE: The only exception to this policy are curling irons and hair straighteners.
  
• Matches and normal lighters are allowed onboard. However torch lighters and novelty lighters that look like guns are not allowed onboard. Torch lighters emit a powerful concentrated flame, and are therefore prohibited.
  
• Electrical extension cords
  
• Baseball bats, hockey sticks, cricket bats, bows, and arrows
  
• Skateboards and surfboards
  
• Martial-arts gear
  
• Aerial drones
  
• Self-defense, including handcuffs, pepper spray, and night sticks
  
• Flammable liquids, including lighter fluids
  
• Explosives, including fireworks
  
• Hookahs & water hookah pipes
  
• Ham radios
  
• Dangerous chemicals, including bleach and paint
  
• Alcoholic beverages** (Note: Alcoholic beverages that are purchased in ports-of-call or from shops onboard will be stored by the ship and delivered to you on the last day of the sailing.)
  

* Personal grooming items such as safety razors are allowed. Scissors with blades less than four inches are allowed.

** Two bottles of wine per stateroom are allowed on embarkation day, subject to corkage fees.

Thanks for posting. This past June my suitcase was sent to the naughty room for my hair straightener! [emoji38]

They released it to me after I explained what it was.

I'm not sure if the OP was posting for a particular reason or where the information came from. However, I have included a LINK to the Celebrity website FAQ, current as of the date of my post, that covers "what not to pack". I have also copied/pasted it in the entirety of the text as it covers other things (i.e., drones, etc). Here you go:

 

 

Q. What Not to Pack?

 

A. What Not To Pack

Weapons, illegal drugs, and other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship or the safe and secure environment of our guests and crew are prohibited. The United States Transportation Security Administration also recommends that you do not pack fragile or expensive items (such as jewelry) in checked luggage.

The following are examples of items that guests are not allowed to bring onboard. These and other similar items will be confiscated upon being found. Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, and dangerous chemicals will not be returned.

• Firearms & Ammunition, including realistic replicas.
  
• *Sharp Objects, including knives and scissors.
  
• Illegal Drugs & Substances
  
• **Aerial Drones
  
• Candles & Incense
  
• ***Coffee Makers, Clothes Irons, & Hot Plates
  
• Baseball Bats, Hockey Sticks, Cricket Bats, Bows & Arrows

**Aerial Drones: guests are welcome to bring drones on their cruise for use on land only and outside of the port area. Drones are not to be operated onboard the ship at any time. Different countries may have different rules. Guests assume full responsibility for understanding all local authority rules related to drone usage and for obtaining ay required permissions for drone operations. Any liability, including environmental damage from drone usage is the guest’s responsibility. Celebrity Cruises assumes no liability for guests drones that may be confiscated by local authorities for violating local laws or for any accident or injury resulting from a guest drone flight. While onboard, drones must be stored safely in the stateroom. Drones used on the ship will be confiscated till the end of the cruise. A Guest Conduct Policy warning will be issued and guests may be subject to disembarkation at their own expense for onboard drone usage.

***Items that generate heat or produce an open flame. This includes heating pads, clothing irons, hotplates, candles, incense and any other item that may create a fire hazard. NOTE: The only exception to this policy are curling irons and hair straighteners. Matches and normal lighteners are allowed onboard. However "torch lighters" and novelty lighters that look like guns are not allowed onboard. Torch lighters emit a powerful concentrated flame, and therefore are prohibited.

****Alcoholic beverages that are purchased in ports-of-call or from shops onboard will be stored by the ship and delivered to you on the last day of the sailing. Alcoholic beverages seized on embarkation day will not be returned.

What not to pack: roughly, one half of what you think you need to pack.

Agreed! ;)

 

However, I think this was an attempt to state what you cannot take with you by regulation. I wanted to set the record straight with current information.

I will be on the Equinox in October, first Celebrity cruise (have done Carnival, RCCL, Princess, NCL previously). I have looked at the website, reviewed the "what not to bring" list, but still have a question. May we bring bottled water and/or bottled or canned soda (can only drink caffeine-free) on board the ship? I may have missed it in doing my research, if this subject was covered. Thanks all!!

Yes. Treat it like luggage when you arrive at the port and have a luggage tag affixed and it will be delivered to your stateroom.

 

Wine has a "two bottler per stateroom" limit and no hard liquor.

someone must have turned up on embarkation day with a surfboard... who would do that?
