Cruise_Couple Posted February 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I know if I buy bottles of liquor... rum, etc. they will take it from me at re-boarding and hold it until debarkation. What else are you not allowed to bring back to your cabin? Is packaged food like "rum cake" allowed to be brought back to your cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Packaged foods are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted February 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Not that I would encourage this but should I happen to purchase a bottle of rum or such item and after it goes thru the scanner,,,, if the crew at the table are busy,, I might just forget to stop by and just go straight to the stairwell.

Esilef Posted February 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2018 In Australia due to strict customs laws on bio security they won't allow things to be taken on or off the ship that could contravene these laws.

I hope you got it at the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbadiane Posted February 13, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This is sort of related....is there an issue taking things off the boat? We thought about taking baggies and few things because shuttles are often long to excursions and I don't want to become car sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_Couple Posted February 13, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ulu knives from Alaskan cruise Sent from my Pixel using Forums mobile app OMG! That is so funny you mentioned this... It happened to my Mother In Law on our first cruise. But it was the airline that took it from her (she had put it in her carry on!!! What the heck was she thinking???!!!) The cruise line didn't give a darn about her bringing it on board. Granted this was quite a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Cozumel, they have dogs checking for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 13, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 13, 2018 In the past, we've seen tables both going off the ship and returning full of baggies and food items that have been confiscated. You'll be walking past dogs sniffing for contraband and your bags will be subject to scanning. Wish I could remember the port, but we had a family with a couple of small kids try to get on the ship with a couple of live small turtles. Hint: If something in your backpack is wiggling.......

THIS.. Was in Cozumel and bought some Almond Tequila, delicious by the way, coming back to the ship. put it on the scanner. Not a word was said by the screener. Picked up my package and walked to my cabin. I had no intentions of opening it and drinking it. I already had the drink package and I just didn't see the point of going to the confiscation table.

shipgeeks Posted February 13, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The daily planner usually has a message saying that sand, shells, etc. from ports may not be brought onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be because they were so small. Don't know. Must have been the size. Obviously they will not set off the metal detector. My brother's conch shell was denied boarding in St. Thomas.

dwayneb236 Posted February 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yeah they were pretty small. like the size of snail shells. Certainly not Conch size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esilef Posted February 14, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Were they emotional support turtles? Were they in a suite with a bath tub that the turtles could swim in or were they just going to place them into the main swimming pool? Hope the family got a kick in the bum for that.

BigHouseFootball Posted February 14, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Lot's of people (kids etc) try to take shells and sand from Labadee, they confiscate this. Really? I picked up several pieces of coral that had washed up on the beach that I put in my backpack and nothing was said. Didn’t even think it wouldn’t be ok to bring shells and coral pieces back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywest1 Posted February 14, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We were behind a gal with a backpack chock full of white rocks from Grand Turk. It was HOT and the backpack was heavy. She went to all that effort only to have them confiscated. Made me feel a little better about her cutting line in front of us:evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted February 14, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 14, 2018 So, on a trip in 2013 to Marigot on the French side of St. Maarten we love to shop at the little Pylones store there on the Main Street. So we bought a set similar to this picture. https://photos.smugmug.com/Wellington/i-FwHC9dM/0/2f47e361/M/4555BE1F-BDBD-4796-9A33-83052747B8B6-M.png Friends loved our salad tongs and we bought them a set in 2015. Of course they confiscated them. They are mostly plastic with a thin stainless fork and spoon. I am pretty certain that if you tried to stab someone with them they would break before you broke skin.
