On our last cruise in March, I saw a few people with political T shirts and one person with a scooter with a political bumper sticker on it. I imagine some lines are afraid of having passengers accuse them of interfering with their freedom of speech, so haven't enforced bans or haven't banned them. I wish people would just enjoy their vacations and leave their politics at home.

When i travel anywhere esp europe and africa i try to research meds that are not allowed, then decide if i will risk a tiny amount of my prescription. Also i found that in Kenya that ziplocs or plastic bags were banned so thats a new eco issue item to check on!

We took a cruise out of Puerto Rico, and there was guest driven Salsa Music EVERYWHERE on the ship. It was amazing. The crew did try to stop them after 30-40 minutes in each place, but they'd pack up.. move 30' and start up again as soon as the enforcers left. It was by far my favorite cruise.

In a similar way to airlines, cruise companies have rules too. There is no one standard. It’s best to direct any queries to the cruise company directly and they will probably be able to clarify things. If you are travelling to any country other than your own then be prepared to do some homework to see what is or isn’t allowed. In many cases if you contact the embassy for a country they will advise you,some things are different including medication. It might appear to be the same but the ingredients might differ. Assume nothing and make sure you do research for going away. One tip is to photograph your passport with your iPhone or similar and email it to yourself, it won’t get lost on the internet and it’s a good way to keep a note of your details. If you have to go ashore on an excursion and they advise taking your passport then see about having your passport photo copied and see if you can take that with you and leave your passport in the safe in your cabin. Cruise companies will help as best as possible. I would suggest a USB power bank for travel and as a way to help keep your phone charged up, don’t forget to set the phone to Airplane mode as you could easily end up with a large bill due to the data you used. Have a checklist of things and tick them off as you go, the better the preparation the better the holiday will be.

Or if you even have it on the ship in certain ports will it be confiscated? Thank you again, Gary.

A colleague told me about the drugs situation for Abu Dhabi cruise. Robaxacette wasn't allowed and need it when travelling for back issues. He also told me to do to a pharmacy and they would actually give me something that probably worked better. And that was where it got interesting, Voltaren pills are prohibited in Canada, but there I was able to get them in Abu Dhabi. Strange indeed.

Most of the prohibited items make sense except the game systems (Xbox,Switch,Playstation,etc). I think its a hold over from the old guard making the rules. Cause hotels used to be like that. I remember back in the early 2000s one hotel my father and I stayed at literally super glued the cables so you couldn't attach anything. Now a days hotel's are like "Here is a HDMI input. Go wild" Like I can understand why they don't want people to bring them cause they want you going to the events, but not allowing it seems over the top.

As a regular on NCL, your comment about taking unlimited wine on board piqued my interest. I did find no mention of a limit on their web site but i appears there is a corkage fee even if consumed in your cabin. From their web site: Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below. 750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD 1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 USD

I haven't tried with the Switch myself, but I had used a PSP and a few different gameboys over the years. Several won't let you hook up the HDMI to it...most of the companies have contracts with movie suppliers for their movie selection, the same company doing that also handles airlines, and can get lawsuit happy over it when people use their own things...though that's somewhat changing with various streaming services getting involved and other deals, but they tend to still not like it.

As a gaming cruiser there is no issues with handheld devices to game with and Xbox has a mobile app which if you have the right internet you can game on but the connection is usually junk so I recommend offline or simple online games nothing too complex. Actually the whole point of the app is so you don’t lug your very expensive box around. The new Xbox’s are several lbs and not exactly slim 😂 Also I have not found a cruise line that has bandwidth for live streams. So if you want to watch your favorite streamer then anything past is good but live you are SOL. Internet on board has dramatically improved over the last decade and hopefully as time goes by these issues too will abate. (Also on the tv thing. Some have connection ports but most do not that I’ve looked at so I would believe the cruise lines when they say that you can’t even physically plug in your Xbox etc)

Mainly because they don't want people messing with the mounted TV and such to try connecting them. From my experience, they don't do anything with portable consoles that don't get hooked up such as gameboys or an older PSP...not sure about a Switch, but they likely won't care if you don't bring the stuff to actually hook it to the TV. Several of them do have things like DvD or even older VHS players on some that can be used with the right request if it's not for a normal movie situation, normally with things involving group tickets and for things there, but not in rooms. They won't let you bring your own players that you can hook up though. That's tied into media contracts most have... Some do, however, have a wireless link ability for computers and tablets to play things on them, but I've only seen that once.

@@AzraelThanatos Thank you. I see my doctor next Tues and I will ask him for a letter. will contact the cruise line (good suggestion) as well. It's just that I have the picture of that woman who took hundreds of Tramadol pills into Egypt for her boyfriend. I don't know if she ever got out of jail. an Egyptian jail --- horrible.

I wish all the cruise lines allowed unlimited wine! My wife is a huge wine drinker (1 or 2 bottles daily) and this would save me from having to buy the drink package!

How are passengers allowed on the cruise without a passport? Are they not required to be verified at check in when you receive your cruise card or medallion?

It depends. Many cruises that are roundtrip in the US allow for alternative form of ID.

It's mainly ones where it starts and ends in the same country, passports are checked upon leaving the ship at the ports along the way. Or it's the Alaska cruises where all of it is, normally, US stops save in an emergency situation where you might end up in Canada (Which didn't used to require a passport if from the US). If someone doesn't plan on excursions beyond things like a companies private island(s), they, normally, won't need one...it's only in the event of an emergency when one would need it

For Europe the Schengen residents are likely okay with just ID if all ports are inside the zone.

My Klan robe along with my fellow Klan members robes were confiscated on a Royal Caribbean cruise even though 300 Klan members were booked on that cruise! It was a Sailing that was booked to celebrate the retirement of our Grand Wizard and the promotion of our Exotic Cyclopes as our new Grand Wizard. I was promoted from Minister of Propaganda to Exotic Cyclopes. This cruise was in 2018. We still had out ceremony though. Our Wizard was a Klan member for 53 years and 30 years as the Grans Wizard!
