Blenders allowed?

[vicky3vicky]

I would like to bring a blender so I can make my smoothies in the morning. I couldn't find it on the prohibited list so should I bring it?

I found an CC post from Aug. 12, 2007. The answer was no.

This blender looks like maybe you could get away with taking 

[DrSea]

You can try. I don't think so. They may take it out when they xray your bag. If you get caught, just put it in your car (assuming your not flying to the port).

 

What are you trying to blend anyways? Baby food? Drinks?

Probably not on the list because 99.99% of people wouldn't even think of taking a blender on a cruise.

(kind of like how Carnival had to add hair dryers and curling irons to the list years ago, because of people bringing those onboard. I'm sure after they confiscate enough blenders, they will get added tp the list.)

I guess as long as you are willing to have it confiscated or lose it, give it a try.

Those must be some great smoothies. Good luck.

A bit confused, are you saying Carnival doesn't allow curling irons or blow dryers.  I think this is incorrect.  I take mine every single cruise and have not issues at all.  It does say "with heating elements", but they are specific about things like irons, hot plates, etc.  I have never seen anyone in 20+ years have a problem with a curling iron or blow dryer (I think the women would revolt lol!)

 

Here is the list straight from Carnival (no mention of blenders lol):

 

Prohibited Items

• Any illegal narcotics/drugs including synthetic, designer drugs, Cannabidiol (CBD) and medical marijuana

• Knives, scissors and open razors. (Recreational dive knives are allowed, but must be held in the custody of the Guest Services Manager or Chief Security Officer and must be checked out/in by the owner for dive excursions during the cruise.

I have seen folk carry electric fans into the cruise terminal building, but honestly don't know if security allowed them on to the ship.  (Ironically for an Alaska cruise)

[ColeThornton]

I don't see why a blender wouldn't be allowed.   Heck, I always bring my waffle maker and my George Foreman grill.  ')

See 4 B of the cruise contract- no household goods- it cannot list everything by name.

Another take on this: If your neighboring cabin ran a blender while you were sleeping, would you appreciate it?  Those things can be noisy.  In your own kitchen you might not notice, but I bet from the cabin next door you will.

[ChosenOne]

20+ years ago I used to bring a blender on the cruise with me.  Be prepared for your luggage to be searched at the airport because of the metal blades in the blender.  It's possibly more likely now after 911 that someone will question the blender when it passes through x-ray machine, either at the airport or the ship terminal.

[1025cruise]

Blenders are not allowed.

[happy cruzer]

I would not want to have to wash a blender in my cabin sink.  Would try to find a substitute like eating fruit and using protein powder in milk or soy milk (stirring with a spoon).  Sometimes it's nice to have a change.

 

Enjoy!

And then there was the 80+  F degree  days that we had on our Alaska cruise that embarked on June 24.

 

People were in shorts and tank tops for excursions in Juneau and other ports.

 

Besides cooling, fans are also used for air circulation and white noise in cabins.

As I understand, these Blendjet2s are battery operated .  Charge lasts for 10-15 blends.  Takes 20 seconds.  Recharge is via USB port just like phone.

 

So outside of the cleaning issue, these shouldn't violate CCL guidelines.  But again, security at port may not know this and if in carry-on you could lose it.  On board, you might get called to the naughty room and have to explain ow it works.  TSA is a whole other can of worms.

This is from the TSA:

Blender

Carry On Bags: Yes (Special Instructions)

Checked Bags: Yes

Blenders are allowed in carry-on bags if the blade has been removed.

Any sharp objects in checked bags should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and inspectors.

For more prohibited items, please go to the 'What Can I Bring?' page.

I took my usb operated mini blender on a recent Princess Cruise. Came in handy to make green juice.

[breadandbutter]

I bought a cheap juicer at a yard sale a few years ago, it was $3, so I don't worry about it getting confiscated

[Markmom18]

Our son, ex-FunSquad, took one of the battery operated small blenders & glass combo. He was called back to work right after getting oral surgery.

 

This was back in quarantining Staff days. So, while in the cabin, he drank protein mix and used their juices milk etc. while his mouth was healing.
 

It was fine, but IDK if that is an exception or the rule. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We bring a fan on each of our cruises, and have never had an issue.  We run a fan every single night of the year, even during winter, for the movement of air as well as the “white noise.”

Household goods are probably OK.😄  Household appliances with heating elements, no good.

Towards the bottom of the list is "Kava".  I didn't know that was still around.  Why would it be on the prohibited list?

Ok, OK.  I have to ask.  Did someone really want to bring a BBQ?
