Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 04:29 PM #1 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:29 PM Does anyone know if Electric Heated Eye Pads for dry eyes are allowed on board? I use these every day to manage my condition. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 04:33 PM Author #3 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:33 PM So if I tried to board with them would they be taken off me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted Tuesday at 04:56 PM #4 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:56 PM Is this the small USB powered version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM Author #5 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:00 PM Yes. I use it to manage a medical condition. I can't believe they let me take my hair straighteners on but not these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM #6 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM The wording seems straightforward until you look at something like that which is specifically designed to not actually get hot, just warm. They may take it and give it back at the end. The wording for prohibited items is: ***Items that generate heat or produce an open flame. This includes heating pads, clothing irons, hotplates, candles, incense and any other item that may create a fire hazard. NOTE: The only exception to this policy are curling irons and hair straighteners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM Author #7 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:16 PM Thanks Markb. Yes I saw that wording which is what made me ask to clarify if anyone had exprienced an exception to it. I will take it in my hand luggage and see what they say. It generates very low heat and only for the 10 minutes it is in use. Thank you for replying.

Rare markeb Posted Tuesday at 05:21 PM #8 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:21 PM Good news is the water in the sinks is EXTREMELY warm if you have to go the wet wash cloth method... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Author #9 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Thank you for your optimistic solution 😄 Yes i will have to revert to "old school" if necessary. Shame as these things are brilliant and maintain the same low level temperature for the duration with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare markeb Posted Tuesday at 05:34 PM #10 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:34 PM You're the first person I've heard of who's used one. May have to break down and order one from Amazon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottymac Posted Tuesday at 05:53 PM Author #11 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:53 PM Go for it. My husband reluctantly got one too after too many infections caused by dry eye. He has surprised himself and finds it very relaxing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM #12 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Why leave it to chance? Contact Celebrity's medical/special needs department and ask if you can bring it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noworkforme23 Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM #13 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM I use one nightly as well. I have severe dry eye syndrome. Mine is cordless and you heat it up via usb charger. I am going to bring mine in my carry on luggage on December 7 on the Apex. I will let you know if it is taken away. Mine also turns off in 15 minutes. LOVE it, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted Wednesday at 12:58 AM #14 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:58 AM Do they have an auto shut off after a set time? DH had a medical condition that required heat. I contacted special need and they gave me guidance on what we could bring and board and what would be needed to be provided. Original packaging was one thing I recall.

jwlane Posted Wednesday at 10:49 AM #15 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:49 AM Keep it in your carryon, tell them it's a charging device if queried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammie Posted Wednesday at 11:36 AM #16 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:36 AM Put it in your carry-on along with a note from your doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillygirl2400 Posted Wednesday at 01:18 PM #17 Share Posted Wednesday at 01:18 PM I use cornea care Rest. They are individually packed self-heating eye masks. They are much better for travel than plug-in masks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnich Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM #18 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM I have had issues with dry eyes for years and have never heard of this. I bring along a few packs of individual lubricant drops.But will definitely try this out. I am leaving tomorrow for Vancouver to get on Solstice Sunday so not enough time to order from Amazon . Is this something I can buy in a drugstore?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillygirl2400 Posted Wednesday at 04:44 PM #19 Share Posted Wednesday at 04:44 PM Don’t know. I’ve only bought from Amazon and Cornea Care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the computer all day and have dry eye syndrome and multiple dry patches on my eyes. I can’t wear contacts at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer321 Posted yesterday at 02:35 AM #21 Share Posted yesterday at 02:35 AM (edited) Fill out the Guest Special Needs Form and send to special_needs@celebrity.com. Get the equipment pre-approved then there shouldn't be a problem bringing it on board. Edited yesterday at 02:37 AM by dreamer321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because they're all fools who won't have a clue. I'll bring a hotplate and tell them it's a prayer mat. Don't lie. Explain what it is, and if it's deemed safe to use on board then I'm sure you'll be fine. Edited 19 hours ago by Trevor Fountain typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
