spanner14 Posted July 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Probably a very silly question (in which case I apologise :o) but can I take nail scissors and tweezers onboard Indy (from Southampton)? I thought I read somewhere on the RCI website that you can't take scissors onboard but I really want to take my tiny pair of nail scissors onboard (not least to cut my DD's fingernails at some point!)....is this OK and do I need to put them in the case, or in hand luggage? Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Of course you can!!! Either carry-on or checked...it won't really matter. They prefer you to be "well-groomed"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uksimonusa Posted July 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I seem to remember there being a blade size of less than 3" for scissors:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted July 15, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2011 lol! Thanks cb at sea! I don't know where I read it - perhaps I dreamed it! :o :) No you didn't dream it.:) But I don't think you need to worry as the RCCL website now says with regards to prohibited items - "sharp objects, including all knives and scissors with a blade length of 10.2 cm (4 inches) or more." It did previously say nail scissors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can personally attest to this as we brought backpacks with school supplies to the Dominican Republic and the scissors were confiscated.:mad: The blades were a hair over 3" long.

kyriecat Posted July 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2011 RC seems to have sporadic enforcement of the scissors rule. My mom does scrapbooking. She brought a full-sized pair of cutting shears onboard in her checked bag. No problem. I was very surprised when I saw they made it onboard. My husband's mustache scissors with a blade under 2" and rounded tips, also in a checked bag, were confiscated. :confused: I've never had tweezers taken away on a ship.

molly361 Posted July 18, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2011 My husband has hand carried his 3 inch Swiss Army knife on every cruise with no problem until our April cruise out of Tamps (our first Tampa cruise) where they confiscated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar_the_Grouch's_Sis Posted July 18, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Never mind :o (I need to look before I answer ... I always get mad when I see people answering the same thing that was already mentioned - lots of times more than once - now I get to be mad at myself!! LOL :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
