shredie Posted October 30, 2016 #101 Share Posted October 30, 2016 We'll be visiting a bunch of Caribbean islands in the next few weeks. I'll report back if any changes have occurred in the food checking process. St Thomas today. :D Bon Voyage! :) Let us know if we need to send you a cake with a file baked in it. (We might have trouble getting it off the ship, though.):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We might have trouble getting it off the ship, though.):p Just what I want to do during my cruise, verifying laws of Caribbean Islands. :rolleyes: Well one could pack less as they do hand out jail clothing. Maybe a live from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpirate3 Posted October 30, 2016 #103 Share Posted October 30, 2016 And just a simple snack taken off a ship could destroy an entire country's economy. But hey it's not your country so why would you care. Add the US to the list. No fruits, vegetables, seeds, or plants. I have seen agriculture detection dogs at Port Canaveral and Orlando International Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted October 31, 2016 #104 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Add the US to the list. No fruits, vegetables, seeds, or plants. I have seen agriculture detection dogs at Port Canaveral and Orlando International Airport. At Miami too. Coming back from Brazil in 2010 on a Princess charter following an Amazon cruise we saw a cute beagle signal that something was amiss with an elderly gentleman waiting at the luggage carousel. It turns out he had an apple in his bag. The officer was very kind and I'm not sure he really understood what was going on. His wife was no help since she was busy patting the dog and ignoring him.

(We might have trouble getting it off the ship, though.):p St Thomas- nothing more than an announcement in the morning. No checks whatsoever... and there never has been. Antigua- No announcements, no signs so fell free to take anything you line for lunch. Today St Lucia which they never say a word about in the past and I doubt if they will today either. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredie Posted November 1, 2016 #107 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just because you can, doesn't make it legal. I think the idea here is to see what the consequences are of breaking the law. The fact that it is illegal is completely beside the point for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted November 1, 2016 #108 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just because you can, doesn't make it legal. In St Lucia today there was nothing announced, nothing printed, no signs & no one checking anything when leaving the ship. What more could any reasonable person do. ;) My sandwiches and cookies packed in my collapsible cooled tasted pretty good at the beach. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one, and I mean no one could be this much of a (insert word here) to flaunt being dishonest on a website. You had us going for a while but ultimately, now I no longer believe a word you say and value your comments at zero. I'm sure the others do too.

You seem a wonderful person all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridalover5623 Posted November 3, 2016 #114 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Barbados yesterday- No announcements or printed warnings on the ship. No signs after leaving the ship. No checks for anything. Seems that they couldn't care less what you carry off the ship unless it was camouflage pants. :rolleyes: Had a nice day at the beach with ships food & even gave some extra sandwiches to the local kids. St Kitts today....expect the same treatment. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted November 4, 2016 #115 Share Posted November 4, 2016 St Kitts - No announcements or printed warnings on the ship. No signs or any verbal warnings after leaving the ship. No checks for anything. Just another Caribbean island that allows food to be taken from the the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockdoctor Posted November 4, 2016 #116 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Not allowed and in some ports they have dogs sniffing your bags. And I have seen children crying from a dog sniffing their backpack. If you do ignore our advice, please put the food in your own backpack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
