UK’s Cruise Nation warns travelers to avoid packing risky items, including extension cords and irons, to ensure a safe and hassle-free cruise experience.A cruise expert has advised travelers to steer clear of packing certain items that are likely to be confiscated before boarding the ship.As vacationers prepare for their cruise journey, it can be tough to decide what to pack, especially with ships visiting a variety of popular destinations.
However, Cruise Nation, in a recent blog post, highlighted four common items passengers should think twice about packing to avoid having them confiscated. For instance, extension cords, which could pose a fire hazard, should be left behind, as they are often prohibited.In addition, irons and steamers are generally not allowed by most cruise lines, including P&O and Celebrity.
Though many guests like to look sharp for formal events, these devices can present a fire risk due to malfunctions.On the other hand, smaller devices like hair straighteners and curling irons are typically permitted, and cruise lines often offer dry-cleaning services to help passengers keep their attire fresh during long journeys.Cruise Nation also warned against bringing other appliances such as kettles, coffee makers, and hot plates, as they could pose a safety concern on board.
Beyond electronics, alcohol is another common item restricted on cruises. While most ships offer an extensive selection of beverages throughout the voyage, passengers may be tempted to brin.
