Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with Royal Caribbean policy regarding knife/tool carry? Carnival allows knives with blades less than 4 inches.
Thanks for any insight.
 
I would call Royal Caribbean and ask. Even if others on here have been allowed in the past, policy changes are common.
 
I would get it in writing. Just because you know the policy doesn't mean all the employees do.
 
Look at the second one down the list. No sharp objects.

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 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.

Prohibited items:

  • Firearms & Ammunition, including realistic replicas.
  • Sharp Objects, including all knives and scissors. (Note: Personal grooming items such as safety razors are allowed. Scissors with blade length less than 4 inches are allowed.)
  • Illegal Drugs & Substances
  • Candles, Incense, Coffee Makers, Clothes Irons, Travel Steamers & Hot Plates. (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.

Was there really that much concern that people might bring HAM radios on a cruise ship?

Weird...

Actually, I would want to bring mine! Communication option, especially with the vhf marine channels. I always carry one.

But I'm becoming a pretty big radio nerd.
 
Caribbean? No knives, but machetes are OK.

"...other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship..." Like that dancer/showgirl on the Costa Concordia that the Captain fancied?

lol. :D Situational awareness! I certainly would want to bring a SAK or Leatherman along too, among other things.

Really the only reason I would go on a cruise is for the chance of ending up in a "stranded on a deserted island" survival scenario. I'm sure everybody here kinda thinks the same thing. :)

I have added three more item to their list; Me, Myself & I. I have no need to share in a floating asylum with thousands of drunken slaves.

Cricket bats? CRICKET BATS?!

Fie, for shame, sir! These nitwits insult the glorious Summer game with their colonial effrontery. Tish and pish. A knife, gun or baseball bat, perhaps. But a cricket bat? For the love of God...
