hair straighteners

Are hair straighteners and curling irons allowed??

I believe they are - have never had one taken from me in 5 years. They do need to be in good condition with ni frayed cords or anything like that.

I have brought both on my previous 4 or 5 cruises with no problems.

I've taken both on all 18 cruises and never had a problem. I guess they know what they're up against if they take those away! LOL!

From Carnivals FAQ:

 

Personal grooming devices such as hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons and shavers are allowed on board when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard, they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark.

Always a good idea to go to the source. Telling the screener that "they said on Cruise Critic I could take it" is not going to have the same effect as, "it is clearly stated on Carnival's web site that it is allowed"

 

I take a paper copy of that page and several others that pertain to my sailing when I embark. (I don't trust the phone to have service when I need it)

I agree. I also do screen shots on my phone for relevant policies, but only for my personal reference. Better to give the screener a paper copy than handover my phone for them to read.

Good idea to take a copy.

 

I always take a straightener but am very careful with unplugging it when finished, because if it was confiscated, my hair would be a frizzy mess the rest of the cruise! :D

We just got home today and my daughter took her straightener. No issues

I always take a curling iron. I never leave it plugged in. I use it, unplug, and put it in a special holder. Never had a problem.
