I only post about it now and then when they do to make people aware. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted June 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Why do people think they can break laws of other countries? This is much more disturbing. Those dogs have very good sense of smell. Probably felt it from halls first. People manage to smoke it on the ship on some occasions. Edited June 8, 2023 by Tatka 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found something outside of the ship and then later searched the cabin. Yes they have a right. Ship docked in Bermuda is no different than house standing in Bermuda.

Ship docked in Bermuda is no different than house standing in Bermuda. It does not say they found it outside the ship. I know they routinely search cabins. I have seen them coming through. What I found interesting is they detected THC in an edible. First time I saw them mention THC in an edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psumother Posted June 8, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 8, 2023 This is nothing new and not a scam. Bermuda has been doing random searches of crew and guest cabins before Covid. I personally had my cabin searched in Bermuda. It was before Covid. I did feel violated but understand that this is not the US. They searched all my drawers and the bathroom. There was a female agent with them. Again, this is NOT new and NOT a scam. No need for discussion. It is what it is. When you travel outside the US, you are bound by that country’s laws. If you don’t agree with it or like it, don’t travel outside the US. It’s that easy!!! 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted June 8, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Whenever someone posts a "Can I bring this legal in my home state but not legal everywhere drug with me?" type of question this is exactly the "It's not a problem until it's a problem" outcome that can occur. Another scenario that can occur - a officer with a drug sensing dog is standing near the ship on a sidewalk and the dog hits when a person walks past. Now they board the ship and search that person's cabin. Perfectly legal search. Now it's a problem for that person if they find anything not legal in their country. It's never a problem until it is, but when it becomes a problem, it can become a very big problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted June 8, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 8, 2023 That amount of a fine is not going to deter most people from bringing it along. Is one banned for life from Royal after this sort of thing? Put off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully when I’ve cruised on 3 different cruiselines I’ve carried my daughters prescription Cbd ( for seizures) in the carryon visable to everyone and no one has said a peep. She’s not on the drug anymore ( didn’t work) so no worry anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelife Posted June 8, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I'm on this cruise. He could have been near me as on day one or two the pot smell was so strong on my balcony I had to go inside. Made my head hurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean ports don't have dogs sniffing on ships unless they have been requested by the ship. Just keep it and use it in your cabin. No Vaping.
