Prohibited Items Now Includes String Lights

[soniam]

DCL recently updated their prohibited items to include "Seasonal and/or strands of celebratory lightbulbs". This is just an FYI. I will ask for this thread to be locked if it turns into a "I hate door decorations" debate.

*Removes battery operated Halloween fairy light strand from Amazon cart.*

I guess that leaves more space on the door for other decorations.

Are you sure that's new? It's under "Appliances, Electrical Items and Electronics" -- I could have sworn that has been there previously. Which is why battery-operated have been suggested in the past. Now, whether this includes the battery ones as well, I'm not sure. But I do think that was there before.

Yep.. This is the 2019 list...

• • Hot plates
  • Microwave ovens
  • Rice cookers
  • Seasonal and/or celebratory light bulb strings

It's also listed under "Household and General Items", which makes me thing it's all lights. However, I used battery-operated ones in June, before the prohibited list was updated. No one said anything. It was updated with other stuff/organization, but maybe the lights aren't new.

I think you're OK if they're battery powered and LED bulbs. They just don't want hot, incandescent bulbs lying around while nobody's there to monitor them.

A friendly heads up that one poster here changed the title of a thread to read “Admin, please close thread,” after which the thread has persisted and now has almost 3,000 posts. The law of unintended consequences…

Unfortunately we can't do anything about that one over here as we're mods for the cruise forum only; you can report the thread though and that will send it to the mods on that board who can do something!

I’m not complaining just noting!

I usually tag a mod on the specific forum to do that. So far, this thread has been you’d and informative. I might pull out my strand for my Xmas cruise after all.

Plugged in ones have not been okay in forever- the battery operated ones are completely fine..

The difference is if the plugged in ones have a fault they can catch fire- the battery ones just don’t work if they have an issue. Plus they don’t drain ship

Battery operated LED lights hung on the outside of the door are fine. Lights that plug in are not permitted.

I put the lights back in my Amazon cart, but I also just emailed Disney to make sure battery operated was fine. I'm a rule follower and want to make sure they don't confiscate them.

Please let us know what they say, I love my battery operated lights and my FE gifts are almost always a string of themed lights, magnetic hooks, and a couple batteries along with some other little gifts in a reusable bag!

Last October I used the battery operated Halloween lights on our door and received so many compliments! I really hope that they haven't changed the policy.

I heard back from Disney and battery operated string lights are fine!

Thank you so much for following up! Crisis averted

Though I don't have a holiday cruise booked, we spent Christmas 2021 on the Fantasy, and I took 2 tinsel Christmas trees for our 2 staterooms and the battery-operated lights really helped make the trees, and room, feel like it was Christmas

We are doing a Wish Xmas cruise during Christmas. I need to figure out the tree situation.
