No more bud on a cruise ship!

U should take a vape with you... If you throw them in with all your other "vapes" they shouldn't question u lol

 

I didn't want to believe this but it seems to be true. I think it will have limited effects- they have a lot of ships and there are lots of passengers on those ships. Still, if you're on the ship they search and get caught it would be a bummer. In my limited, two cruise experience I took caps and a vape pen without a problem. I would not have tried to bring or smoke flower. Something inexplicable and scary happened on my return one time with caps in my bag making me decide to leave anything left after my cruise behind in the future. I don't think they would have been searching me after I disembarked, but as I said what happened scared me. It was nothing, but I was unnerved for a good 45 minutes convinced I was going to jail.

 

i take RSO and/or full spectrum pills.
i can smell it.
plain THC i can't,i don't know if a dog could.
it's the other cannabinoids that i smell.

i never encountered a drug sniffing dog,but what i understand...
dogs can't smell though things.
you put bud in an air tight glass jar and the dog walks by it 2 minutes later.
been in the jar for a day,your busted.
smell goes through pores,even glass longer it's in it.

 

I didn't do anything special. The caps weren't any problem and I don't vape much. I had a few hits a day in the room. What happened that scared me was my luggage was missing on debarkation and an official ( don't know what kind of official any more) was checking me out and another official walked up and said "is this her?" and took me with him. I was sure I was busted, but he just finished checking me out. In the interim my wife found my luggage which was just misplaced.

I would carry capsules and a vape pen again as I would just need a one gram pen and a capsule a day. I wouldn't do anything special to get them on board, just throw them in with my checked luggage or keep them close in a carry on. I don't think I'd risk bud.

Those drug dogs are scary good. They can smell bud sealed in a coffee can with coffee.

 

dont even believe the dog stories
down here in south texas at the check stations , these dogs smell drugs in fuel tanks of trucks if that tell you how there sniffers are, even in 55 gal drums of soap they have busted the cartel life line, i have seen them unload semi truck and trailers full of water melons to find in the middle of the melons drugs stashed.
both in fort stockton and falfurrias check stations .

 

Those new rules on cruise ships are quite something, huh? I understand that you have concerns about syrup and oil in terms of odor and detection by trained dogs. While I can't speak to the intricacies of carbon stripping odors from refined substances, it's a given that cruise lines are becoming increasingly strict on certain substances, including cannabis.

 

I'm shipping out Saturday for New England and Canada and I plan on taking a bag of cannabis chocolates in my carry on bag. If I see drug dogs I'll just eat the chocolate quickly. Some friends are on the same ship this week and I can get the scoop on what's happening on board from them. It's a shame I can't bring anything back from Maine or Canada.

 

Make sure YOU are the overwhelming source of the cannabis smell. Harvest the day before. Rub everything with Bud resin. Clothes. Luggage. Body. I love hitting the supermarket on harvest day. I've seen people in the isle behind me sniffing the air LMAO.

 

If you're reconsidering the cruise vacation, you're not alone. I've seen discussions where people are actively debating whether to go ahead with their cruise plans given the new rules. On that note, have you checked out cruisetimetables? It's a comprehensive site that could help you make a more informed decision.

 

I'm leaving on a Carnival cruise Saturday. Every stop will be somewhere cannabis is legal- Maine and Canada, and it's also legal here in Virginia, our starting port. I'm disappointed to not be able to bring some cannabis home. I'll be taking these in my pocket- Press tabs. Last time I brought caps in my luggage and my luggage went missing for a while. It was nerve wracking, but the luggage was just misplaced. Oh, funny thing. When I got the the hotel prior to the cruise I found a note in my checked luggage that TSA had inspected my bag. Luckily I guess they were looking for explosives and not using a drug dog at the airport.

 

Carnival does have competitors
Are all cruise lines using dogs?

 

YES and hidden camera's & microphones to cover every inch of the ship. I'd say it aint an accident that they are stopping where weed is legal??? Just a guess?

 

Take some lessons from mules.

Wrap weed in several small ballons/condoms, swallow it. Take laxative to retrieve.

How drugs get into a lot of places where there a drug sniffing dogs.

 

Ya could always keister it. Prison wallets come in sizes tight end to wide receiver.

 

Back home from our Carnival cruise up the East Coast of the US to Portland, Maine and a few stops in Canada. I never saw a dog or any type of inspections of luggage or carry on stuff getting on/off the ship. Edibles would not have been a problem. I nearly outsmarted myself. I took one dose of infused chocolate from the dispensary, but took it out of the sealed bag with the content label and put it in a zip lock bag in my carry on pack. They would have confiscated it getting on the ship because it wasn't in a sealed container. After one security person told me it wasn't OK, I just failed to mention it going through customs. I did not go shopping for cannabis in Portland or Canada. There are lots of warnings about cannabis being illegal and not allowed on board, but again there were no inspections. I did not ever smell cannabis on board. The Carnival people say the inspections and consequences are out of their hands and up to the customs folks so the consequences of getting caught might have been bad. They're real serious about fruits and vegetables not crossing borders, but if you kept your mouth shut they would never have known you had cannabis. I still won't chance botanical cannabis on a cruise ship, but think caps and tinctures would be safe. We did have a problem getting our luggage once on the ship. It was raining and the luggage tags faded so you couldn't see the room number. We had name tags on our bags, but I see where they might have opened them to ascertain ownership. I think it would be a fluke to get caught with caps and tinctures. The consequences of smoking in undesignated areas are severe- $500 fine and banned from the cruise line though a discrete vape would have probably been fine in a smoking area, but I didn't go to any of those spots on board not being a smoker.
