Your title is misleading. There was no "drug bust" on the ship...

[Toto2Kansas]

A drug smuggler arrested onboard the Caribbean Princess would have been a much better title. ;)

Glad they got him.

Even a Drug King Pin needs a vacation too. :rolleyes::rolleyes::cool:

Glad they got him.

Me too.

Can't wait to read posts from those on board--do you think he paid for suites for every one?

This happens more often than you think. The ship's manifest is submitted to Homeland Security, which reviews the names and checks them out. Even on the recent Carnival "cruise from hell", a woman was arrested.

I agree, a very misleading title. :(

Hopefully a long one.....

I wonder if this alledged drug kingpin, cocaine dealer - the new Pablo Escabar - had to go to the ships "naughty cabin" and wait for the first port of call.

 

I don't know why they did not arrest him before the ship left port? The article said they took him off at the first port of call???

I inferred from the article that the ship had already sailed when they realized he was on board:

"But Luis Figueroa had boarded the Caribbean Princess with his wife, two children and in-laws before the operation began."

Wonder if they arrested the wife, too. Like she didn't know what was going on . . .

Looks like he'll be getting a long vacation in a small "cabin". :D

[atlasali]

Food won't be so good either.

Yup, there's nothing like standing by the elevator when several armed officers run up the stairs going...... I dunno - I move aside. It's very exciting watching them and then I move to my cabin and ask questions later. I've seen it happen at least twice.

Really strange report. Obviously no "drug bust" but an arrest of what appears to be a relative of a true drug lord. And this in international waters between two US territories.

 

Story has more holes than swiss cheese.

 

Interesting that the law enforcement folk would get a ride from Puerto Rico to the Virgin Islands. I wonder where they slept? I bet their stewards didn't get a tip, and they weren't dressed for formal night.:rolleyes:

Some of the high count posters give meaningful posts, some don't.. :)
