Mynki Posted October 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Seen it several times. It is standard procedure whatever their appearance or nationality. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted October 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yes, crew get searched in more detail than passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted October 31, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Why? To keep everyone safe. Just imagine what might happen if a terrorist got a job on your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 31, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Random security checks and their ethnicity has nothing to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted October 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I've also seen crew having to have their backpacks searched and xrayed while departing the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
