Cigar Lighter and Cruises

[avgeek]

Hey, I know TSA is still twitchy about cigar lighters on aircraft, but what about passenger ships. As stated earlier, wife and I are headed around the Gulf of Mexico this Summer and I've got a Colibri triple flame that I love but cannot take the risk of losing.

thanx

To my knowledge, you should be fine.
IIRC I carried it onto the boat on my honeymoon cruise. Actually, I thought the security and customes was laughable at the time....
I don't recall any metal detectors, and coming back into dock at the port, they basically stuck our bags in a warehouse room, and then let us in to reteive them...
