Some preppers never learn

[Domeguy]

Well...some of us just never seem to learn.
Domegal, myself, daughter, and son.in.law are heading down to Florida on Saturday, and then getting on a
Carnival cruise ship and heading to the Bahamas for 4-5 days. Sound familiar?
We will be leaving the ship at least 3 times that I know of. I will not be able to have my CCW, or even a pocket knife.
I know the brain trust here can come up with some way to help me be able to keep my family safe.
Also, what do you think I should pack, just in case we get a repeat of the last famous Carnival BBQ cruise?
Ideas can't be too expensive, and mostly ready at hand, from an average household.

You can take a straight razor....just have the wife carry the ones you will really use.....don't forget the accessories for show.

or a safety razor and a cool little handle....

This might work

A roll of duct tape.

A few large HD garbage bags, 30 gallon.

Newspaper.

The aforementioned steak knife/composite knife.

Hopefully your suitcases are hard shelled type and not soft.

You can add weight in a rolled up newspaper and then tape it up. Good defensive/offensive weapon.

Knife taped to a broom stick would make a spear of sorts.

The garbage bags can be aired up easily with a breeze offshore and then knot the ends and tape together for emc floats.

Hard shelled suit case could be broken down as a shield of sorts.

Hard shelled suitcase could have edges taped and then wrapped a few times with tape to make a float.

If suitcases are soft type, a garbage bag could be inserted and used as a float.

Just some thoughts.

You mean that they pat you down or make you go in an x-ray machine??

You can take a knife less than 4 inches on the boat. It should stay there of your going to Mexico. Otherwise check you ports of call and check their knife laws.

Do not sneak a blade on they will confiscate it. I walked right to the check in line with my 3.5 inch and small back up and showed it to them. Walked right on the boat no questions. Then you have a knife on the boat.

In port if the knives are allowed you won't have any issues getting on and off the boat. If knives aren't allowed take a steak knife from dinner and carry it off. Trash it before you go back on.

Check the other thread I made a list of what I brought with me. No issues what so ever.
