Can you bring a hair straightener on a Norwegian cruise?

Personal grooming devices such as hair dryers, hair flat irons, curling irons and shavers are allowed on board when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard while onboard, they will be removed by ship security and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark.



Yes, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) generally allows passengers to bring hair straighteners (flat irons) and curling irons on board. Unlike clothes irons or steamers, which are strictly prohibited due to being significant fire hazards, hair styling tools are classified as personal grooming devices and are permitted as long as they are used with "proper caution." However, ship security has the right to confiscate any device if they believe it is malfunctioning or poses a safety risk; in such cases, it would be returned at the end of the cruise. To be safe, it is always recommended to unplug your straightener immediately after use and never leave it unattended while hot to avoid any issues with stateroom inspections.
