Think cruise packing is simple? Think again. In this video, I reveal 12 everyday items cruise lines have banned in 2025 from power strips and drones to CBD oil, baby monitors, and even pool inflatables. Some will shock you, others could cost you thousands before you even step onboard.
You’ll hear real stories of passengers denied boarding over CBD drops, parents left scrambling when baby monitors were confiscated, and cruisers embarrassed as alcohol “hacks” were poured down the drain. Plus, I’ll show you the safe alternatives cruise-approved power cubes, messaging apps, pre-packaged snacks, and more so you can avoid embarrassment, stay compliant, and actually enjoy your vacation.
⚓ APPLIES TO: All major cruise lines in 2025, including Royal Caribbean, Carnival, MSC, and Norwegian. Enforcement may vary by port and sailing, so always double-check your cruise line’s official banned-items list before you pack.
