Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the bans that still catches a huge number of passengers offguard is the ban on personal coffee makers.

Travel steamers are another item many passengers assume will be allowed.

Royal Caribbean has banned Wi-Fi baby monitors because they can interfere with onboard communication systems.

Carnival has prohibited them, even inside cabins.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the fine print before you pack to avoid delays, confiscation, or extra charges.

✓Ask your cabin steward for hot water instead of bringing a personal coffee maker.

✓Use wrinkle-resistant clothing or ship pressing services instead of travel steamers.

✓Rely on the cruise line app for communication instead of Wi-Fi baby monitors or walkie-talkies.

✓Budget for a proper multi-device internet package instead of bringing a personal router.
