drfun48 Posted April 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have been told that on certain Caribbean islands as well as some Central American countries you are forbidden to wear any camouflage attire. Among these are Barbados,St Lucia ,Antigua, as these are reserved for the military. If I wear my camouflage bathing suit can I expect that I will be arrested or the suit confiscated on the spot ? Will I then be charged with having carried a concealed weapon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted April 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) The OP should be aware that the Barbados Police do have a great sense of humor (they would spell it humour). So, if you wear a camouflage swim suit, they might decide to enforce the law and immediately confiscate your swim suit. At that point, you would be in further violation of the law that prohibits public nudity. So they could they toss you in jail (so you miss your cruise) and later slap you with fines for both violations.

Jane2357 Posted April 12, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 12, 2014 We were on Eclipse in February. It is in the daily paper and announcements made on the TV about the camouflage. It is no joke and I wouldn't think you'd get too far from the ship before they stopped you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted April 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Is there a 5 year statute of limitations on all laws in Texas ? Not at all, but there is a common sense limit on You Tube videos. Now if the information is on an official St. Lucia government web page or site, that would be a different matter. Like the You Tube video put out by a militia group that the Chinese army is massing troops on the Tx/Mexico boarder, and we need to get ready, please.

dkjretired Posted April 12, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have camo shoes, most comfortable shoes I've worn in a long time. Out here in Pa where I live we have little league teams whose shirts are camo and only 30 miles from Williamsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted April 13, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So the ultimate question, why in the world would someone go on a cruise to a carribean country in 90 deg temps and want to go all Duck Dynasty camo while checking out the country in the first place? Oh, post count on CC, why else:D Ok, I have poked the bear enough, if he likes Camo that much, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sow There Posted April 13, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 13, 2014 ...If I wear my camouflage bathing suit can I expect that I will be arrested or the suit confiscated on the spot ?Will I then be charged with having carried a concealed weapon ? If it's a proper camouflage design, no one will notice. After all, isn't that the objective of camo wear? Then as for a concealed weapon, it depends on how dangerous the weapon is, doesn't it? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted April 13, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I truly felt this was not a serious thread, since in 25+ years of going on 7 different cruise lines, many trips to the Carribean, I have yet to see a single person get off a cruise ship wearing camo clothing. If that is truly what you like to wear, I am sorry for thinking you were having a good time entertaining us. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbenboys Posted April 13, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We got back last month from a Caribbean cruise and did see you where not to wear camouflage clothing. I'm not a big fan of camouflage clothing. I do have 2 shorts that I didn't bring on the cruise. When I went into a shop in I think it was Granada. They were selling camouflage clothing.

Hank And then when he does land in jail, he can call his congressman , and the embassy, and the media , and cry about his inhumane treatment by the authorities. And then he can be the poster boy for all the Hollywood Elite to call for his release and ask for sanctions against such a cruel regime that would jail someone for not obeying their rules.
