A happy 50th to your wife. I would not let having to deal with TSA ruin a possible dream cruise!

While you can avoid the US and embark elsewhere, you may severely limit your options.

My experiences with the TSA have been generally ok to positive. Many are just doing their job and are not trying to go out of their way to be jerks. This is not always the case, but most are civil. In general follow the TSA guidelines for screening (3,1,1; shoes off...) and you will be good to go.

Enjoy!
