cc waddles Posted June 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2011 HI, Sailing on carribean princess in july out of NY. Wondering......is there a security check/screening that you and your luggage go through before you get on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2011 You go through security screening along with your carry on bags before you board the ship. Your checked bags are usually xrayed after being loaded and delivered to your stateroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering......is there a security check/screening that you and your luggage go through before you get on the ship? Yes to the security check. It's the same (or similar to) what you encounter at the airport ... metal detector and luggage x-ray. And, you are subjected to the same scan and x-ray every time that you return to the ship at a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, you are subjected to the same scan and x-ray every time that you return to the ship at a port. Except that: o you never have to take off your shoes or belt; o you can take liquids in any size without having to put them in a little bag; o you do not have to take computers or other electronics out of your carry-on when it is x-rayed.

Wondering......is there a security check/screening that you and your luggage go through before you get on the ship? We're not sure about other cc's but to us this question begs "WHY?". We wish the OP had been more specific as to his enquiry if not to his concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wish the OP had been more specific as to his enquiry if not to his concerns. Yep, I have to admit, after I answered, it kind of gave me an uncomfortable feeling. I guess it is just the sign of the times than a generic question like this makes you think "what in the world is this passenger trying to bring onboard that makes them worry about the security process", and my imagination went wild. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaththeTaff Posted June 5, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I don;t wish to sound rude but I can't imagine why anyone would imagine that there wouldn't be a security check on embarkation - in New York of all places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regnig Posted June 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Although I wondered WHY too I took a moment to check the OP's past posting where I learned only one past cruise over 20 years ago and now taking two kids along on this one. Something tells me he/she just wanted to gather as much information as possible so as not to be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted June 5, 2011 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2011 This security screening isn't specific to NY; you will have to go through the same type of screening no matter where you board a ship. At least I have found that in Hawaii, California (multiple) & Florida (Multiple). It just is what it is.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I have with me, and in my carry-on vs. what needs to be in my checked bag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllyon Posted June 6, 2011 #16 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What do they do if you have a hip replacement and it sets the alarm off? Do you get the TSA special or is it more discrete. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siglee Posted June 6, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What do they do if you have a hip replacement and it sets the alarm off?Do you get the TSA special or is it more discrete. Thanks Actually, they take you aside and use a hand held wond. I have a knee replacement, and it happens every cruise. But, I do not get upset, just makes me feel more safe. Glad to see all the safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted June 7, 2011 #19 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I can't imagine not having the security check. Your luggage will be checked via x-ray for various contraband (irons, etc.). You should put valuables, medicines, ID in your carryon rather than your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted June 7, 2011 #20 Share Posted June 7, 2011 What can I have with me, and in my carry-on vs. what needs to be in my checked bag... Really no difference. What is not allowed in checked luggage is not allowed in caryon. Unlike at the airport, there are no liquid or gel restrictions in carryons..
