Packing for a cruise: Need it for your hotel… but it’s banned on the ship?

What do you do if you need something for your hotel or Airbnb, but Royal Caribbean does not allow it onboard? If your cruise is only part of a longer trip, you may have a few options: leave the item with a hotel, ship it home before embarkation, use a cruise-safe alternative, or bring it knowing Security may confiscate it and return eligible items after the cruise. If I knowingly had something questionable because I needed it for another part of the trip, I’d keep it with me through security so I could answer questions about it rather than burying it in checked luggage. The goal is not to sneak anything onboard. It’s to have a plan before embarkation day. #RoyalCaribbean #CruisePacking #CruiseTips #CruiseSecurity #ProhibitedItems
