Overview
- Beci Mahnken, CEO of MEI Travel, reported that her personal hair dryer was confiscated during a sailing on the new Disney Destiny and later retrieved at the cruise’s end.
- Disney’s website lists hair dryers as an exception to its appliance restrictions only if they are 110V/1500 watts max or 220V/2000 watts max, noting each stateroom includes a hand-held dryer.
- The cruise line warns that unapproved items found during security screening will be taken and may delay luggage delivery to staterooms until late evening on embarkation day.
- Certain styling tools such as curling irons and flat irons remain permitted under current policy.
- Industry coverage has noted theories linking stricter enforcement to newer ship power constraints, though that explanation has not been independently confirmed.
