Anglea Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I just saw a video that magnetic hooks are no longer allowed. Is this true? I’ll be on Quantum of the Seas at the end of the month for an Alaskan cruise and was planning on bringing them. Quote
steverk Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I was on a ship last week and there was no issue with magnets of any kind. That includes hooks, clips and refrigerator magnets. Quote
smokeybandit Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I'm on vision right now and have had no issues with magnets Quote

We love magnetic hooks for cru You should post a link to the video. There is very little indicia of reliability in a person's account of another person's opinion or guess. Quote
WAYNO Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 Wow. I hope not too. They supply an extension cord for me and they hang the cord from the ceiling with magnetic hooks. I also bring a bunch of my own hooks, handy for many things. Quote
Gilley Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I could see it not be allowed on newer ships like Icon because thee]re is plenty of hooks to hang things. But older class ships like visions, magnetic hooks are a must have. Quote
Vancity Cruiser Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I'm skeptical. there is absolutely no reason to ban them Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted July 11 Report Posted July 11 I recall reading - some time ago - that SOME very strong magnets can interfere with the electronics onboard, but I don't think little hat hangers are an issue. I've never read that they are/were banning personal magnets Fuzzywuzzy 1 Quote

I know we have ones we hang from the ceiling for out excursion bags and those need to be pulled down carefully to avoid damaging what they are adhering to Quote
Cruising Granny Posted July 12 Report Posted July 12 Do you put your magnetic hooks in checked luggage or carry Quote

Fuzzywuzzy Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 3 days ago our cabin steward used one of our magnet hooks to hang a bath towel monkey from the ceiling. Symphony. WAAAYTOOO, PPPJJ-GCVAB and Shari 3 Quote

And I’d rather have a heavier carry on than extra lbs in my checked luggage. I need every available lb for my own items WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote
