Fans.

Anyone know if Princess allows small electric fans (8"-10") in cabins? Haven't seen any info on this. Thanks in advance.

I don't think this would be an issue,

I always take one and have never had any problems.

I had one taken from me about 8 years ago in my checked bag. After that I started bringing one in my carry on thru security. Worked great for 8 years until we boarded in San Pedro this past April They took my fan. Said it is a fire hazard

Some posters say they use a battery operated fan...that should pass "muster".

That was going to be my suggestion as well. They can't call a battery operated fan a fire hazard. I think some of the San Pedro folks go overboard.

We bring for my grandson a 5" battery operated fan that we bought online.

I always take one in my checked bag. Last time was in March, 2017 on the Caribbean Princess.

Never had an issue with our small desk USB powered fans.

Battery operated Sansung 7 phones were catching on fire so they were banned by several airlines.

My friend takes a 8" electrical fan with him all the time no problem.

I always take a battery operated fan, maybe 8 inches. Usually we travel by car so weight is no problem, we have to fly next year and the fan batteries can be a weight problem but still need it/

Put the batteries in your purse or carry-on.;)

Your friend has been lucky. When my fan has been taken they say I can pick it up after the cruise. Too much hassle, I have just let them keep it.

Never had my electric fan taken away from me by Princess. It traveled in my checked luggage.

They can if it's a car battery.

We had a small, electric fan taken at security in Seattle; were able to retrieve after the cruise. They said it wasn't allowed but I think, at the time, a fan was not on the list of prohibited items. You may want to check the most up to date list on the Princess website, to see if fans are included or not.

 

And if fans aren't included, you might want to bring the list with you as it's kind of a hassle to retrieve items after a cruise! Fortunately, we had plenty of time before our flight so it wasn't a problem to pick up our fan.

 

Also, the fan at security then "triggered" a search of all of my carry on bags, not just looking for the fan!
