slyster Posted November 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2018 So, just a funny story to share. On my last cruise, I packed my wine in my check in bag. I didn't know it should have been in my carry on bag. After several hours of waiting for my bag, I asked my room steward about it. He said it was possibly held downstairs (don't remember the deck) and I should go check there before we leave port. I get down to the deck and I start asking crew members where the naughty room is? No one had a clue what I was talking about (watched one guy ask another and they seemed clueless). I said, "the room where you take our luggage if it has alcohol or other "naughty" stuff", "you know, the naughty room?" All these years, I thought it was called the naughty room because of being on cruise critic. The crew had a good laugh. Come to find out it was just area near the stairs where there were a bunch of bags. I was kind of excited to check this place out! Nothing exciting about it though. They checked my luggage for the two wine bottles and away I went. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Me from ME Posted November 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 14, 2018 On a different line we were put on the Naughty Mat and not allowed to board until headquarters were contacted and someone made an executive decision - our crime? Wanting to take a large piece of luggage that was only 3 inches larger than what would be considered oversize on an airplane. The bag weighed only 28 pounds so it wasn't overweight by any stretch of the imagination. The problem was that there was visible lettering that said "kayak" and the regs say that boats may not be taken onboard. After that little dust up the rules were changed and we have taken our trusty folding watercraft with us ever since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fla gang Posted November 15, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I was pulled into a room for having over the allowed amount of booze after a cruise so I could pay the extra duty. The poor young lady ahead of me had her small bag opened by security and he proceeded to take the batteries out of her toy in front of the rest of us. Quite embarrassing for her I'm sure.

NateUpNorth Posted November 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thinking I might go hang out there for the laughs. Security - "sir are you here to claim a bag" Me - "nope, just here to watch the show" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 15, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I got sent down there for wire hangers! I tossed a few of those wire hangers from the cleaners in my case for extras (never enough and want to hang the clothes right away instead of waiting to get extras from cabin attendant). They ran it through the scanner as I stood there, and immediately saw what they were without opening it and handed it to me. Said it was fine. Geezz guys...thanks for making me stand in line for half hour. From now on I take plastic hangers. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rules changed and when? Due to an "incident" with a inflatable paddleboard back in 2016 they were barred from being allowed to come on board. Due to pending litigations I can not disclose more detail. (just kidding, I have no idea why they would be banned) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceans4 Posted November 15, 2018 #19 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Last week, one of my group had her travel iron confiscated, and at the end of the cruise, when she went to pick it up, someone's handcuffs were still awaiting end-of-cruise retrieval. I'm not sure if they had a pineapple motif engraved..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone tried to bring on a Bowie knife. It was considerably large, and not what I would imagine needing on a Caribbean cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t make much of a difference. Crew member of 4 years here, and have only ever heard it called the ‘naughty room’ on here. Onboard, it’s just security...

btregoning Posted November 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted November 16, 2018 We were called to the Naughty Room on the Anthem earlier this month. I had a case of Dasani in a duffle bag. We just had to open it and prove it wasn't liquor. Then we had to schlep the heavy bag back to our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
