The Wildest Things Banned on Cruise Ships

In this episode

Trevor delivers a straight-faced lecture on everything you cannot smuggle aboard — lightsabers, handcuffs, Roombas, upside-down pineapples — and somehow the takeaway is that Jenn wants garlic fried rice at breakfast. Educational, technically.

Moments worth the wait

• The banned-items roll call — no clothing irons, most surge protectors, hot plates, tea kettles, coffee makers, air fryers, candles, hoverboards, electric skateboards — and, still on Disney's books, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
• Disney's oddly specific list — no Dyson or Shark hair tools, no Roomba, and no non-collapsible lightsabers from Galaxy's Edge.

  “But it is a lightsaber to be fair. It's a weapon.”

• The pineapple crackdown — Carnival is removing a certain fruity signal.

  “Carnival has banned upside down pineapple behavior.”

• The baffler — one line item leaves the crew genuinely stumped.

  “No handcuffs or restraining devices... Who brings on handcuffs?”

• Boxed wine, explained — why the format is really the problem.

  “The boxed wine typically holds the equivalent of four bottles of wine.”

• No stockpiling — Meta/AI glasses barred in common areas and bathrooms, plus no ham radios, satellite phones, or Starlink, and Royal (and Carnival) now cracking cans open on delivery.
• Brunch upgrades — frosted cinnamon rolls, a cranberry bear claw, and chicken-fried chicken on a waffle tee up the recurring "17-hour French toast" gag.
