In the video you will hear about things ranging from the obvious (like illegal drugs) through to the unexpected like sports equipment. The items include:
- Anything valuable. Cameras, laptops, drones, jewellery, watches.
- Important papers and documents.
- Prescription Medication.
- Illegal drugs, Some countries, including United Arab Emirates, have restrictions on some prescription and over-the-counter drugs like codeine and if visiting conservative countries like this check these on their government websites.
- Alcoholic beverages. Most cruise lines do not allow passengers to bring this on board and will hold it until the end of the trip. Check if there is any flexibility with the line or your cruise agent.
- Candles, Incense, flammable liquids and fireworks. No open flames are permitted in your cabins.
- Coffee Makers, Clothes Irons & Hot Plates.
- Firearms and weapons like knives over 10cm blade.
- HAM Radios & Walkie Talkies.
- Sports equipment like bikes, skateboards, surfboards, Baseball Bats, Hockey Sticks, Cricket Bats, Bows & Arrows.
I love hearing about all of the funny things that people think that they ‘NEED’ on a cruise. I would love to have a look around the confiscated items room and have a good laugh….
yes I bet that would be a very interesting thing to do…… hopefully someone who works in security on a cruise line will post here some of the more unusual items they have had to confiscate over time…..!
