Creator's Key Takeaways

Smart glasses with built-in cameras and microphones are now officially banned across multiple major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean and MSC, making this the single biggest cruise ban of the year.

Drones and any kind of remotec controlled aerial device are now banned on nearly every major cruise line. And the rules are getting stricter every year.

Any power strip with built-in surge protection is now completely banned across every major cruise line, and security will pull them out of your bag without thinking twice.

Clothing irons and travel steamers are the single most confiscated items at cruise terminals around the world, and it's not even close.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check sunscreen ingredients for reef-damaging chemicals before packing.
Bring a non-surge power strip or USB charging hub instead of a surge-protected one.
Use ship laundry services or wrinkle-release spray instead of bringing an iron or steamer.
Leave drones, smart glasses, and hoverboards at home to avoid confiscation.
Check local laws for each port regarding vapes, camouflage clothing, and other items.
