We are just back. Unfortunately, our cruise line had a no blade policy (including scissors :dunno:). Security at each port had nothing to say about my medical shears though fwiw. You used to be able to take a small folder with no issues on most major lines but many popular ones like royal caribbean have since amended their policies no not allow blades.
That is really strict.  I wonder if they’d allow the Leatherman Raptor.

They put every bag (checked or carry on) through a TSA style scanner and check each person with detectors as well.

We did have a great time! Thanks. I just checked Carnival’s website. This is copy-pasted straight from the prohibited items:
“Knives, scissors and open razors. (Recreational dive knives are allowed, but must be held in the custody of the Guest Services Manager or Chief Security Officer and must be checked out/in by the owner for dive excursions during the cruise. Large scissors used by scrapbook and quilting enthusiasts are at times permitted with prior notification from the Security Services Department, but are held on board in the same manner as dive knives.)”

So perhaps a knifeless and scissorless, plier based tool :think:

They must have changed policies and I didn't know it :ahhh

And glad to hear you had a great time :woohoo:

That stinks.  I took a cruise with Carnival 6-7 years ago and I was allowed to take a Spyerco PM2 onboard.

What threw me for a loop was they made me turn in my keychain swiss army knife, because it had "tools" on it.  They said you aren't allowed to take anything with screwdrivers/etc.  They were supposed to hold onto it, an allow me to pick it back up.  They ended up mailing me someone else's swiss army knife instead.

I just got back from a Royal Caribbean Cruise to Canada and no one batted an eye at all the one piece tools in my wallet.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

I bet they don't serve turkey on board. Unless it's taken on board awlready carved and sliced, to avoid having big knives in the kitchen, where anyone can get them.

I haven’t been on a cruise in quite a few years, but I do recall that one of the ironies was that they didn’t want anyone onboard carrying a small pocket knife, but it was easy enough to order a steak and get your hands on a steak knife.
