Drug sniffing dogs on board NCL ships?

[Kmkub]

I posted a thread on the MSC forum about them having found cocaine on the Divina.

 

A member replied, "My friend just back from NCL cruise ,they had policeman and a dog going around the ship 24/7 sniffing pas for drugs ."

 

This is creepy. Is this really happening?

Well, I've never seen that on our cruises but maybe it was a charter....?

I have only seen the sniffing dogs on the dock area.  If they are on the ship, then there must be a suspicion of some kind based on Passenger list, some kind or tip, or one of the crew was seen doing something.

We had them on EPIC, yesterday. Saw them  at the h20 zone. Not sure if they did the whole ship. I thought it unwise to follow them around.

Hm.  Well, doesn't bother me if it's a new thing.  I live with a working drug dog.  Nothing creepy about him lol.  🙂

Well, dogs aren't creepy. Lol...

 

Seeing a cop in full garb wandering the cabin hallways with a dog, though? I'd find it a bit disconcerting. We'll find out on Friday - off to the Caribbean on the Jade!!

Definitely not wise to stalk them. 😉 We'll see what happens.

Yes, they were on Epic during the 1-12 sailing too.

I would love to see this. a uniformed officer and a four legged officer would keep the peace. I don't care at all about the drugs but the obnoxious passengers that sometimes appear later in the evening. I'm packing treats   .

Dogs are at all ports of entry.  You see them at airports and sea ports.  Nothing unusual.  Sometimes its just routine patrols and nothing to get excited about.

Agreed, but that's not what this thread is about.

Wasn’t the Epic involved with a big drug bust a few weeks back?

On January 9th fourteen people were arrested...it was a EDM cruise.  They were arrested waiting to board the ship.

Drug sniffing dogs are often on the ships, especially when there is cause for suspicion.  Its not uncommon at all.   Leave your non-legal drugs at home.

Now if we can also get them to sniff out the chair hogs.....

Assume much? 

 

We've done 10 cruises; never saw a dog before. I was curious.

I agree. Seemed odd to me too. Been cruising since 1998, and this was a first for me.
