dlphn501 Posted April 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Are these backpacks allowed on Carnival ships? I thought I read somewhere that they will confiscate a bottle opener.

I do not need a bottle opener. I would like to bring a backpack cooler. This particular one has a bottle opener attached, and I wanted to know if it was allowed because of said bottle opener, or if it wouldn't matter.

Pyrate13 Posted April 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I doubt you'll have any issues with it. I have a ballcap with a bottle opener in the brim that my SIL gave me and never had a problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted April 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Chances are they may not even notice it. It’s not like it is hanging oh the bag, it’s part of the strap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted April 12, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2023 They don't care about bottle openers, it's corkscrews with the knives for removing foil that aren't allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know I will be able to carry on and off my personal-sized cooler that I usually just pack in my luggage. I didn't see any size restrictions on backpacks though. 9 hours ago, Old Fart Cruisers said: Carnival doesn't restrict bottle openers on any ships. https://www.carnival.com/help?topicid=1202 Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think to check this myself. And now I know that extension cords and outlet extenders are actually permitted, despite others having theirs confiscated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And although they do specify Knives in the list of prohibited items, they aren't concerned a one inch blade in a corkscrew. They even give those away as gifts. We got one last month on an Elite Cruise. Even if some overzealous agent tried to stop you with something like this, if you have them call their supervisor they would let it go. Now TSA is a different story. You can not bring them as carry-on on an airplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted April 12, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Have brought a corkscrew with the small foil blade inside our wine carrier on every cruise for last 20 years, no issues on CCL or RCCL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot about that canopener even being there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalkr2 Posted April 13, 2023 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2023 In fact you can pre-order a cooler with a bottle opener from Carnival. So definitely its allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
