UkuleleCruiser Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I carry a little Swiss Army pocket knife -- The usual size, about 3 inches long, with toothpick, wine corkscrew, tweezers. It's incredibly handy. It's never been confiscated, but I have always worried about it. Should I continue to bring my knife and risk it? Maybe go to the tiny 1.5 inch model and just bring a corkscrew? (I'm bringing a corkscrew anyway!) Anyone ever had one confiscated? Or are they not even forbidden?

BeatArmy2010 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am not sure how many pocket knives have been confiscated. On the last trip where we took one, they had a tray of about 20 that people could get theirs back. I have always wondered about taking a corkscrew.

RestingBird Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 My Gerber with a 3in blade got confiscated on our first cruise, haven't tried again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegal2539 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 At the airport this Sunday they confiscated my deodorant. While watching the agent put it in a large cabinet there were a pile of pocket knives. The deodorant had flown 5 times since July 2016 and never been touched. I think it is the agent running the scanner. Kind of scary to think about what else gets through airport/cruise security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Dan has a small Swiss Army pocket knife too and he's always very careful to leave it at home. I'm surprised that they haven't confiscated yours yet, Ukulele Cruiser UkuleleCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that they haven't confiscated yours yet, Ukulele Cruiser Apparently, I have been lucky. What will I do if a gang fight breaks out? Or a zombie invasion? Or, God forbid, a hangnail???

MikeK Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I went to the FSU vs Ala game years ago in Jacksonville at the Gator Bowl and had my fingernail clippers confiscated so anything is possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyraven Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Apparently, I have been lucky. What will I do if a gang fight breaks out? Or a zombie invasion? Or, God forbid, a hangnail??? This reminds me of an incident on Grandeur back in September ..... We witnessed a fight during the belly-flop contest .... Basically, this rather stout fellow, got in front of people blocking their view, and when asked to please move or duck down out of consideration, profanity ensued, then, a fight, whereas the guy causing the issue was pushed in the pool ..... Poor Andre Miller (AM) didn't see it happening and he thought it was just somebody trying to be funny, that is, until the rest of us were yelling, "Fight. Fight, Fight" (like it was happening in a school yard, lol) --- Then you could hear Andre yelling (Security, Security, Security) --- I will give Security a lot of credit, they were fast in their arrival and in removing the party's involved .... We were amused that it had been edited out when they were playing the replay of the contest on TV...... Which leads me to asking a group question ...... have you ever witnessed a good old-fashioned fight while on a cruise? What lead up to it and how was it handled? --- In this particular case, the inability of the stout fellow to handle his alcohol intake was def. a factor. After those involved were taken to another area of the ship, the contest continued and the rest of us had an interesting story to tell.

Duck tape, that'll help in all those situations, and should be ok to carry on ;-) UkuleleCruiser, DocLC, coneyraven and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLA Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I accidentally brought mine on once (after being totally overlooked by both the TSA and ship security... It's a pretty small knife though), but I wouldn't risk it. I've never really had a need for it once I've been on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Matt this is how rumors start. Better response would have been, "I am a weapon. I don't need no stinking knife . . ." ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
