Yes, that’s right! Cruise lines have banned item lists, so if you think you’re bringing it on board — think again! Royal Caribbean recently added a pretty popular item to its banned items list that might surprise some sailors.
If you haven’t hopped on a cruise before, it might surprise you that you can’t bring just anything you want. Cruise lines are constantly updating what you can and can’t bring on board, like weapons, radios, extension cords, and more.

While most of these prohibited items aren’t surprising, items like the Smart Glasses and power strips might catch some off guard!
