lindyf Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I am taking several disposable cameras. I was told to make sure they didn't get x-rayed. Where do I put them? I know that sounds silly. I do fly all the time but I am mostly wondering about the ship. Don't they x-ray your luggage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinmama Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 We put it on a tray like with your change and it doesn't go through the x-ray for airlines and ship...thats what we do anyway, and have had no trouble..just don't forget to get it after, we have done that..

schatje Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks for the tip, I totally forgot about my 4 cameras. I packed them in my send through bag. I will have to put them in my carry on :smiley: I appreciate everyone's posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebert Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 lindyf, I don't know about disposable cameras but I always take my camera and film with me on my carry on. I've been told that the strength of the x-rays at the airport and on the cruise ship are too weak to harm the film. I've put both my camera and the film through and there has never been a problem with the film. I also understand that you can request that film equipment be examined by hand by the TSA agent so that it doesn't have to go through the x-ray. They usually say to put it on the conveyor anyway.

Lisa63 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 So long as the film is below 1000 ASA, it shouldn't be a problem to use the conveyor belts. Most film is 100, 200, or 400, so you should be OK. As others said, just don't put it into checked luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
