CaroltheB Posted March 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Can anyone tell me of a recent experience (2021 or 2022) regarding scissors or can you tell me the official policy. I called Celebrity and they said 4" or smaller was permissible but he could not tell me definitively whether checked or carryon. Appreciate it.

lola2013 Posted March 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I've carried a small pair with me (they're 4"...remind me kids craft scissors)...I tuck them into my jewelry bag which I pack in my carry-on. That was Edge in 2021 and more recently Reflection a few weeks ago. They have gotten through security at the airport and on the ship. Hope that helps.

Put them in your checked luggage. That way no issues with the airline or the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted March 3, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Scissors are packed in checked luggage both for air travel and cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted March 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Checked or carry-on probably won’t matter. Might as well put it in the carry-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I suspect the carry on or luggage check doesn't matter. Airport security allows scissors up to 4". I would think what would be allowed on an airplane would be allowed in hand luggage. I personally would just drop them in my suite case to remove any problems.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted March 3, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Under 4 inches is easy to accomplish. I pack a bag of scissors and tape in my checked bag. I have needed to use those two items many times on trips and have always been thankful I’ve had them with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbbquilterUT Posted March 3, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Have flown domestically for years with small scissors and knitting needles without any problem. The same bag always is in my carry on boarding the ship, again no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac66 Posted March 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Small scissors are good to go. I've carried EMT shears in my carry on luggage on planes and ships for years. Just got off a cruise last weekend. My wife brings small scissors as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmas gran Posted March 4, 2022 #11 Share Posted March 4, 2022 We were called to the naughty room about 6 years ago on Infinity for nail scissors in our luggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipeeinthepools Posted March 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I would put them in your carry-on to avoid your bag being sent to the naughty room by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie51 Posted March 4, 2022 #14 Share Posted March 4, 2022 As others have said it should not be a problem. I always take a pair of scissors meant for little kids. I called them kindergarten scissors and I’ve never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might depend on how large they are. I have traveled with small scissors in my carry on to be used with stitching projects (also small embroidery needles) for years and have never had a problem with getting them through TSA security at the airport.

alcpa1 Posted March 5, 2022 #18 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It also depends on whether the flight or cruise is foreign or domestic. I have had embroidery scissors (less than 4") both ignored and confiscated on some of the lines we sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
