Interesting Items You Shouldn't Bring on a Cruise.

 You may have seen that Royal Caribbean has recently added "outlet extenders" to their list of prohibited items.  This is any device that splits an outlet, including surge protectors.  But what other things should you leave at home beyond the obvious, like fireworks, irons, and electric kettles?

• To much cash:  When you re enter the U.S. you have to declare cash in excess of $10,000 regardless of where you started with it.  
• Drones: While this should be easily understandable, they don't want you getting any ideas about flying your toy off the deck of the ship, and many ports of call prohibit bringing them ashore, so it makes sense to just prohibit them in the first place.
• Straws and Plastic Bags:  This one was not something I thought about before but with cruise lines focusing on the environment, banning single use bags and straws makes sense.  We did notice that on our most recent cruise it was paper straws and only on request.
• Mini Star Link Satellite dish:  Just read an article where someone had this confiscated and lead to Carnival adding them to their banned list.  It makes sense in a few ways.  First it goes against them selling their internet plans so its a financial decision there.  Second, you are on a moving ship and unless you are setting up poolside, I am going to assume the veranda is not going to work well depending on direction the ship is moving.

Do you have anything that should be left at home outside the norm?  What is it and why?  Let me know in the comments!
