What items are prohibited on a Royal Caribbean cruise?
Security screens bags for everyone's safety, and some popular packing ideas never make it past the pier. Leave clothing irons, garment steamers, extension cords, power strips, and multi-plug outlets at home. Weapons, fireworks, illegal drugs including marijuana, and open-flame items stay off the ship too. Curling irons and flat irons are fine for personal use, USB and device chargers with recognized safety markings are allowed, and your stateroom already has a hair dryer. When in doubt, pack lighter and let your travel advisor sanity-check any oddball item before embarkation day.
