Bags

[court1683]

The hubby-to-be and I will be bringing backpacks to each port. We were wondering if our bags will have to be checked each time before getting back onto the ship.

Yes, they will run them through an xray machine.

Yes, why?

All bags, purses, backpacks, etc.

[link99]

They sure do. Just like the Airport except the shoes. They even have a Drug dog around now and then to.

[Cruzface]

Yes, why?

 

Obviously, they are thinking of bringing something onto the ship that the ship may not allow. Like...heaven forbid....alcohol!:eek:

I have been on 5 cruises and have never seen a "drug dog" at any port.

Oh yeah. Even saw one go into an owner's suite on one cruise. :eek:

 

And the dog got a lot of "good dog" pats on the back on the way out. :cool:

[mpalmer]

Saw them as we boarded the ship in Jamacia :eek:

[Cruzface]

Makes sense. I just don't remember seeing one. Maybe they were disguised or I was oblivious:cool:

I'm guessing you were having too much fun to notice any dogs and bet you will probably see them on your next cruise :D

There are working dogs at the ports. Passengers cannot always see them but take it from someone retired from the job, they are there.

I think it was the Canal cruise, when we disembarked in San Francisco.

My husband opened the stateroom door, closed the door.

 

He said, "There's a dog out there in the hall"

 

I said, "By himself?"

 

Hs, "No, he's with a handler, in uniform."

 

Is, "What kind of dog?"

 

Hs, "German Shepard"

 

Is, "Oh drug dog, what's he doing? Where's he going? I want to see him working"

 

They bring them onboard at some ports. But I think you are reading much more into the OP's original question than was asked. :)

[BND]

You do have to wonder why someone would ask that question. Not only do they put all bags through x-ray machines, each person has to walk through metal detectors. Even knowing that, people still try to sneak all kinds of stuff onboard. And, I've also seen dogs in ports.

Me thinks you just haven't been looking. ;) We saw dogs at all ports on our cruise on Oasis last month. (Nassau, St Maarten & St Thomas)

 

I'll bet you'll see dogs on your next cruise because you'll be looking for them after this thread. :cool:

[matj2000]

There has not been a drug dog at any port we stopped at on all of my cruises...

[Alexis]

We have also seen the dogs on the piers.

I guess some of us notice them because we are animal lovers. :D

Anyone who thinks they are not really there is mistaken. ;)

Hi Aprille, I could not agree with you more. :D

[igot2cruz]

We've seen drug dogs at Miami and Cape Liberty. They are there but you may not always see them.

Maybe they are Terrorist:confused:

[poodlewamp]

You betcha...........it is a done deal for every bag coming back to the ship !!!

 

 

B.j..

 

 

( almost 20 cruises)

[Cruzface]

I probably didn't notice because I am not worried about my bag being checked or sniffed.:cool:

[court1683]

Thanks for all of your responses. This is our first cruise and we just want to know what to expect. We have never really been anyplace other than Jamaica so we are newbies. Thanks again.

[Northern Bear]

They will also shake your water bottles to make sure there is only water in them.

Bon Voyage, Court1683! Please come back after your cruise and post a review. Sounds like this is not only your first cruise, but a honeymoon -- how exciting! :cool:

Wow, you type really well for a service dog!:p ha! But what an incredibly interesting career that must have been!
