- Carnival Cruise Line has banned handheld fans from its onboard dance floors due to "safety reasons," according to a guideline letter issued on June 1.
- The new rules prohibit non-battery-powered fans in nightclubs and on indoor dance floors, while beverages are also not allowed on any dance floor.
- Battery-powered and electric fans are still permitted on dancefloors and on board, including in passenger cabins, as clarified by Carnival Cruise Lines' senior cruise director, John Heald.
- Carnival Cruise Line stated that the updated guidelines, which have been part of their standard communications for over two years, aim to support a safe and friendly environment.
- Other cruise lines, such as Saudi Arabia's Aroya, also have banned items, including scissors, CDs, magazines violating public decency, and alcoholic beverages.
