grobma Posted December 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've decided to follow the advice of bringing a fan on my upcoming cruise. I've read, though, that some people who packed one in their checked baggage ended up having their luggage sent to the naughty room. Has this happened to anyone, or have you successfully packed a fan in your luggage? Would rather avoid having to pack it in my carry-on which will be a small backpack. Departing out of NYC if that makes a difference. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quillwercruisers Posted December 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I pack a small one every trip. We were on the Bliss 10/25 - 11/6, and didn't have a problem getting my luggage delivered to my room. Good Luck to ya, and enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbcallender Posted December 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Amazon has some very small (3" diameter) fans that plug into a USB port. We just took two on a NCL cruise and they worked great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalaziza Posted February 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think it's hit & miss. In my 30 some NCL cruises, I've never ever had an issue with my small 4" fan that I always pack in my carry on personal bag, until this past January on the Breakaway. Security sent me to a special table and they took it away and said "You can get it back when you get on board" Well, NOT quite the issue, I fought with CS in the Atrium for 4 hours about being a diabetic & medically needed my fan. OMG!!!!! This would have been a deal breaker for me. Finally after 9:30 p.m. that night I got it back. Not a pleasant few hours for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde3 Posted February 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Fans are not even on the NCL prohibited item list but I have had them taken away also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uneamie Posted February 24, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I have 2 very small compact fans still packed in the boxes they came in. I can't imagine they'd take them. I will put them in my carry on instead. ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoskies1234 Posted February 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I had small usb fan still in box in my checked bag. No issues. Also, I didn’t use it. Won’t pack again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JGmf Posted February 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Are these fans for the breeze or the white noise (or maybe both)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptBoatface Posted February 24, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I've brought along a fully battery operated small fan with no issue. Even being able to plug in a USB could be an issue, so I avoided that potential pitfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
