renee1222 Posted October 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Packing for our next cruise in 3 days and my daughter asks if my small scissors that I keep with my toiletries will be allowed. They are 4-5 inches long with about a 1.5 inch blade. I've probably taken them in the past without realizing it (because they stay in my bag all the time), but now I'm second guessing myself... Just need a quick response so I can finish packing! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Dazzles Posted October 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I have taken small scissors for knitting and cross stitch without any difficulty. They were packed in my main luggage, not carry on, as I fly to embarkation port and they are not allowed by TSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvraj Posted October 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We have taken small scissors without any problems. Bob has already posted a link to official policy and that will carry more authority than our individual experiences but ... I have learnt recently that packing items that are likely to attract attention by security could cause your luggage to be intercepted and you could experience delays. So not sure if it is sound advice but I would put the scissors in my hand luggage. That way if the scanner red flags, they can check when you go through security. If you put it in your hand luggage, they may hold onto your luggage. It takes a long time before informing you and you need to go down to open up the suitcase.

OBX-Cruisers Posted October 6, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Small scissors <4inches allowed as others noted already............but then you go to dining room and they hand you those 10 inch lethal pointed machetes to carve your meat.....makes no sense.

Keksie Posted October 6, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 6, 2017 For knitting I bring a package of dental floss. The cutter works just fine for my yarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
