Rare New2cruise2022 Posted January 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Here is dumb question for all of you. In an old-school-forget-about-streaming solution: Is there any reason a small projector and a DVD player would be disallowed on a cruise? Not really interested in opinions or commentary about whether or not it is worthwhile, etc. Just wondering if there is any reason these two items would be flagged by baggage inspection. Thanks for thoughts and experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted January 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2023 They might be flagged, but will in all likelihood would be allowed after inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davechipp74 Posted January 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2023 You could bring your DVD player and just plug it into the room TV via an HDMI cable, save yourself the trouble of bringing a projector with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted January 8, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I read the prohibit list and didn’t see anything that would disallow, but I wasn’t sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in many hotels where this works … just as many where it doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare New2cruise2022 Posted January 8, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The DVD player and the projector are both less than 6”x6”x2” and weigh less than a pound each. Size and hassle isn’t an issue. Just don’t want to cause any problems during embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davechipp74 Posted January 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I have hooked up many devices to TV's on NCL cruises via HDMI port in the past, so much so I would be confident not bringing the projector just the DVD player and some DVD's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmaia Posted January 8, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2023 No problem. Just don't leave them plugged in when you are not in your cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredflint Posted January 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Should not be an issue just make sure you have an extension cord to plug the stuff into. I wish I had brought my projector the TV in our cabin on the Star was small and pretty far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
