tweezers and nail scissors ok if driving to port?

[jlarew]

I know on an airplane you can't have nail scissors. Can I pack tweezers and/or nail scissors in luggage to be put directly on ship?

 

Thanks-

Yes, you can take your tweezers and nail scissors in your luggage. Have a great cruise!

THANKS nyer

I am so looking forward to not having the airport hassle! I just wish they could dock the larger voyager class ships in Baltimore! Oh, well, maybe we will try the ships sailing from NJ-that would be a 6 hour drive.

Small pocket knives are also okay. I think everything that used to be okay pre 9/11 for planes is still good for ships.

On the Enchantment a few years ago we drove to the port. I had a small pair of haircutting scissors in my carryon luggage(cost $35). They confiscated them.??? I couldn't figure out why they were doing this as I was going to board a cruise ship with a whole lot of steak knives. I questioned them, but never got an answer to this one.

They needed a haircut!!

I posted Q on another thread about corkscrews. Everyone answered ok to take on board- FYI. I'll let you know in Sept. if that's not the case :(

there is no problem if you put all that sort of stuff in your checked luggage. my husband is the type that never goes anywhere without his pocket knife. i just put it in checked luggage and we're fine. i always bring my hair cutting scissors too.

What I find amazing, is the fact that the airlines allow you to take knitting needles onboard. I knit - I know! I can't believe it, though. :eek:

I never had my carry-on baggage checked other than the scanner, and I have had scissors, and other sharp instruments inside. To be on the safe side though, I would put that stuff in the luggage you check with the porters.

I never had a problem at the cruiseport although the airport took my "dangerous" nailfile away from me. the last time I was actually given a meal on a plane they gave us plastic knifes but a real fork. I could not figure that out. Surely a fork could do more damage then a nail file.
