I will be going on a 10 day cruise as well and this thread is very helpful. I will be heading up to Alaska and will likely be carrying my Green FRN UKPK in Gin-1 and my FRN Ladybug in VG-10 and maybe a FRN Dragonfly 2 in VG-10 or a Squeak.

So to summarize:
1. safe to carry knife around ship;

2. always have knife in your bag and not on your person when going through the x-ray when getting on/off the ship at ports and knife in luggage when embarking/disembarking and of course in airport

3. Blade under 4 inches as per cruise guidelines;

4. rust resistance is not a big issue unless diving but H1 is overall preferred;

5. people friendly knife preferred;

I think I got it all. I hope this helps the next guy as it helped me. Thanks guys

It might help to put a knife in a small bag with a pair of finger nail clippers, nail file,
band aids, medical tape and other medical type supplies. It gives it the apprearance
of a medical/maintenance tool. Just a thought.

I have went in places that don"t allow knives and have clipped a ladybug to a pair
of finger nail clippers and haven't has a problem.

My main travel folder is a Salt, I'm going to field-test an H1 Dragonfly this summer though.
