OH WAIT WAIT....is this only if FLYING? I can drive my presents down and get on the ship with them WRAPPED, right???

We have never had any problem flying from the UK with wrapped presents in previous years. Is this new?

As long as it's in checked luggage - I doubt that it's going to be a problem...

I hope not - I'm not unpacking them now. I will just have to do it at the port if they insist. I will pack spare tape and paper in case.

WE CAN'T BRING WRAPPED PRESENTS ON BOARD??????????

ON A CHRISTMAS CRUISE?????

WHAT IF THEY ARE IN PACKED LUGGAGE??

2 years ago, I brought them packed in my checked luggage - and it was not a problem. If you try to bring them on board - plane or ship they will make you unpack them. Just remember that they will go through xray machines and if anything looks unusual - they will open your luggage and unwrap the gifts.

You gave a scare about the wrapped packages. Only the wine is traveling as a carryon.

I guess the miles of xmas lights, little coffee maker and the metal over the door hanger will set off alarms.

I'm sure that is the case. The TSA site that I link a couple of post ago does state what their policy is.

It would be a bummer if they unwrapped your gifts and you had no way to get them back in shape for gift giving.

Had a holiday lunch with a friend today. Nothing else planned except pre-cruise appts, hair, nails, etc

So I put the wrapped ornament and a sweater for DM in a different bag so the miles of xmas lights, little coffee maker and the metal over the door hanger will be the only bag searched?????

It is common procedure to search the items and/or bags that they cannot recognize items through the x-ray.

If you have a wad of items they can't recognize, they WILL search the bag and make sure they know what it is.
