A fear of knives by a security officer on a cruise liner

1mil-high · Oct 23, 2017

I had a similar issue with Carnival Cruise line last year. Their site said no knives with a blade length over 4 inches so I double checked before taking my Spyderco Endura 4. Initial security took the knife from my bag and refused to talk to me when I told them that the blade was within their guidelines. I demanded to speak with their supervisor who quickly came over, looked at the knife and asked me why I needed it. I told them that wasn't the point and that it was within their advertised rules. She measured it and reluctantly gave it back telling me to keep it in my room. I am not sure what good that would do for her concerns, but whatever floats her boat :):

One of the may reasons I hate cruises.

Security looked at my knife pretty suspiciously back in January. But I had made sure it was in their rules, and after measuring it, they gave it back.

I went on a cruise one time. They allowed us to keep ALL our sharp pointy things as well as our bang bang sticks. Hell, I even got PAID to go!!!
Even made some great scenic stops...Lebanon, Italy, Turkey etc.
The service by the bellhops sucked though. :patriot:

No cruises for any reason.

I've been thinking about cruises. I hope they'd be better than my last one 26 years ago. Bad service. Bad food. Place smelled. They even went cheap on the oxygen.

I can see your point about boats not being cool, when the last time you were at sea, some dude named Moses took care of your travel arrangement?

Yeah? Well, I'll build my own cruise ship. With black jack. And hookers.

Norovirus too, can't forget the best part of a Carnival Cruise!

Maybe I'm mistaken, it may have been his 2nd time at sea?
