1st Time Cruising on Splendor...help!

[BostonianInPhoenix]

We are taking our first cruise on the Splendor this year in September. We're very excited, but I'd like to know what we can and cannot bring onboard. I was told we could bring cans of diet coke. Any other suggestions?

 

Many thanks!

I think you're going to need to be more specific when asking about what you can/cannot bring on board.

 

Each passenger may bring 1 bottle (sealed, new) of wine; up to 12 cans/bottles of water, soda, juice (20 oz or smaller in size); no liquor; no candles; no irons; nothing that heats stuff up (electric tea kettle, etc.).

 

Give some ideas of what you were thinking to take, that would make this list less exhaustive.

It's the handcuffs that I'm bummed about...

[Corntea]

hehe, this question always reminds me of what we tried to bring BACK onto the ship on our honeymoon. My husband and I are big rule followers, and never would intentionally bring contraband onboard. However, we were shopping on one of the islands (can't remember which one) and found a really cool tribal bow and arrows. My husband is an archery hunter, and we thought it would look really cool on the wall in our island themed guest room. The security people must have thought we were insane when we walked up the gangway sporting our new "weapon"! Duh!!! Oops! :o

No, but you can bring a whip. It's not on the banned list.

 

I know from experience.:p

Yeah, but the expressions on your faces when you pass by each other debarking/embarking will be completely different. ;) Take it from me, a 2-time Splendor cruiser, you will not be a happy camper getting off that ship.

[TeamZambo]

Nice that is our trip as well! First timers too! DId you plan any excursions yet? I take it you are driving, what time do you plan on leaving Phoenix? Im in Las Cruces New Mexico (4 hours or so from Phoenix) and was trying to figure out what time to leave.

We go on 9/23.. but we are not driving.. got a cheap Southwest Airlines flight in that morning that will get us to the ship WAY too early, but better than late I figure !
