Brits 2006 Posted June 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Can anyone who has travelled recently advise whether they were able to take on board hair straighteners, because our luggage labels say they will be confiscated and destroyed. I don't want my ghd destroyed. Thanks we will be on Orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted June 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I took mine on the Divina but never actually used them. They were on display in the dressing table and did not get confiscated. I decided for my long thick hair that au natural or fastened up was the easiest option re frizz factor! That was in the Caribbean.

Rare nikkiw60 Posted June 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It was last month. But as I said I ended up not using them. On the formal night when I wanted my hair straightened I used the on board salon which I found to be as cheap as my local salon for a wash and blow dry.

1fifthavenue Posted June 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I wouldn't risk it in case they do confiscate them, I heard of this happening on Lirica. Have you considered buying a cheap pair that would get you through the week, just in case? NB they do say they're a fire hazard, I'm not condoning it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted June 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I am surprised that MSC does not allow them. ...all other cruise lines allow them. Most hair straighteners have an "automatic" shut off. I bring mine on every cruise I have been on. :confused: I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brits 2006 Posted June 16, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks guys I have also always taken them on other cruises previously. I will probably take a cheap pair just in case they confiscate them, but I do think it's a bit out to order if they destroy them and not let you have them back at the end of the cruise.

Skier52 Posted June 16, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Try reading this thread which points out the wording in the Ts and Cs from the brochure There is also a quote from the MSC USA office on the subject. http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc410/skier6666/cruisecritic/584563e5-58c8-48bc-9b2f-950316f372c5.jpg Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apatchetear Posted June 16, 2016 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) We sailed June 4, 2016 on Divina and I took my hair straightener on with no problem. I left it out on the desk the entire cruise and no one took it. Edited June 16, 2016 by apatchetear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpjr Posted June 16, 2016 #15 Share Posted June 16, 2016 We sailed June 4, 2016 on Divina and I took my hair straightener on with no problem. I left it out on the desk the entire cruise and no one took it. Thats what my wife did, we had no problem leaving on the desk, but we always unplug it after we leave, that with all devices we bring.

Crzyfrk62 Posted June 16, 2016 #16 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I was also on Divina and had my flat iron ... no problems & I didn't even know you couldn't bring one. I think mine was in my carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
