INDEPENDENCE TERMINAL 1 PORT CANAVERAL

[Berniecruiser53]

Cruising out of PC on the Independence soon and wondering when going through security with soda or water is it ok to leave in your small carry on or do you have to take that out to put on the belt to go through the scanner.  Are the walk through detectors like airports, belt off because of metal, shoes off, sweater/coat off everything out of pockets.....

 

Thanks...

It is a more relaxed version of airport security so you can keep your shoes on and probably your jumper but metal and jackets need to go.  You can leave bottles in the bag though they may ask to see them.

Thank you......

Last week carried 2 (24) packs of spring water right through security.  No issues.

Was on the 3 night weekend booze cruise last weekend. We brought on two 12 packs of clamato juice (for bloody ceasars). Tired of all of the boats saying they cannot get it....

I guess we know what your favorite drink is, lol! Were they sticklers about check in times?

[brevardcruiser]

Idk about check n times.  We were noon and got in terminal at 1215.  After brief check I. Walked right on

They aren't too picky about check in times. It's more of a suggestion.

Some people just put a luggage tag on their case of water and let it go with their luggage. If you want to carry it on yourself, you may or may not get asked to open the bag. It depends on security that day (i.e. there may be heightened security about people smuggling alcohol)

 

I usually say other's experience might not reflect your own. Be prepared.

In Canaveral the porters will no longer put a tag on a case of water.   They stopped doing that before covid…

 

Water, soda, wine, etc you bring it must be carried on only…

Thanks for all the answers, it helps to know that water and soda can get carried through.  Wasn't sure if it was like airports where belts and shoes had to come off.  Had to take off my fit bit that would show up on that scanner thing you stand in but guess also because it has metal on it.  Its a clip on.

I wore the same belt on Harmony 5/29 and Indy 7/15, both out of Terminal 1, went right through the metal detectors on 5/29, set them off on 7/15. Who knows with those things?

[CamaroZ28c]

My wife and I were on Indy exactly one month ago.  I brought on two bottles of wine in my carry on and wasn't even asked to remove them from the bag. As for the check-in times, my wife and I were about 20 minutes late because our shuttle was a bit delayed, but walked right up and in, and were on the ship in less than 15 minutes total.  Smoothest embarkation/disembarkation I've ever had!

I have cruised out of Port Canaveral multiple times this year. I have experienced check-in times being strictly enforced and other cruises where they never checked anyone’s check-in window. There doesn’t seem to be any reason why sometimes they do it and sometimes they don’t.  My best guess, and it is only a guess, is different people work on different days of the week and they all don’t follow the same protocols.
