Nekochan Posted June 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) So, my suitcase was pullled and I had to go down to the 'naughty room' to retrieve it because I was caught smuggling in a power extension/strip cord (I wasn't sure if there were enough outlets to charge everything - this was a power strip with multiple outlets). When I went to retrieve my power cord at the end of the cruise, I saw an assortment of things that made sense to bring - irons, power cords etc. But what set me wondering was the full set of kitchen knives - why on earth would you need that on a cruise? any ideas?

So you can't pack power supply cords/charger cords in checked luggage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekochan Posted June 25, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted June 25, 2018 sorry - it was an extension cord with multiple outlets on it. Not a regular charging cord for a cell phone or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2018 ... But what set me wondering was the full set of kitchen knives - why on earth would you need that on a cruise? any ideas? Maybe it was a gift for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Chew Posted June 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Maybe the kitchen knives were to clean & prepare the fish they caught from their balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted June 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2018 The next time you disembark look at the table with all the stuff caught on embarkation - there's plenty of other head scratchers on that table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ownedbypets Posted June 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I met a lady who had her crockpot confiscated. She said she had it because they needed it in their rental before the cruise. She knew it was going to be taken away but it was better than throwing it away. RC kept it for the week and she got it back when they disembarked.

I could see a similar story for the knives, particularly if the owner is a chef. I’m not a chef and don’t travel with my own knives, but I have been known to bring them to friends houses if I’m cooking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95south Posted June 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm betting there's some great naughty room stories. I can only imagine what people tried to get on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherof Posted June 26, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nekochan - are you D from ASM? Apologies for the cryptic message - the PM function seems to have disappeared. I recognize the tagline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted June 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nekochan - are you D from ASM? Apologies for the cryptic message - the PM function seems to have disappeared. I recognize the tagline. There was never a PM function here, just so you know. :) On the naughty table I have seen rice cookers and small pots. Someone here once reported seeing a waffle iron!;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armac Posted June 27, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Disembarking once in New Jersey on the table of confiscated items saw a giant pair of scissors (3 feet long) like you would use to cut the ribbons on a new bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooth2099 Posted June 28, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Maybe the kitchen knives were to clean & prepare the fish they caught from their balcony? I may not like RCI. Carnival has always cleaned the fish I caught from the balcony for free. No need to bring my own knives. Room service will deliver bait too.

barreloflafs Posted June 28, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ever going against the flow my wife once got busted for taking a knife from the ship. Security at Schipol found a full set of room service silverware in her suitcase. She was a bit sheepish after swearing up and down that she wasn't packing a foreign object....lol Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted June 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We love to visit Marigot on St Maarten / St Martin and there is a Pylones store there, and we bought many years ago a set of salad servers that are a fork and spoon with a man and woman diver (platform diving) made out of plastic and cheap steel. You might hurt someone slightly if you put full effort into the attack, but they would break. We had them confiscated when we returned to the ship, plus a bottle of local rum with a vanilla/banana flavor. They are literally plastic. I got my salad servers back. The rum because we did a back to back was taken from me by the security at FLL and again my salad servers. After the second cruise, I did get the salad servers back but not the rum. Sigh....

JC I bet the cruise staff had a great time with the rum at their nightly parties. At least it went for a good cause. Think of it as an extra tip! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as an extra tip! ;p I only remember harassment from the Port Everglades security, and no extra rolls or a second helping of lobster from. I am pretty certain the lowly educated people at the gate did nothing to make my life better. So, tipping... in this case just feels like stealing. It was spring break time, which I will avoid for so many reason as long as I live and remember that trip. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
