  1. A lil crazy... just eat the brownies right before and im sure you'll enjoy the check in process! LOL


  2. I wouldn't take weed on board the ship. I have seen dogs in port several times. Who knows what the dogs are sniffing. I have never smelled weed on board either. The check in process is waiting in a line, then when you get up to the counter, if they don't have your credit card info, they ask for that, plus your ID. They check your name against there list, give you a cruise card, alittle more paper work and you are then shown the way on the ship. it all takes like 5 minutes.

  3. Check in at the cruise ports goes like this.  

    -You arrive at the port by car or bus and drop your luggage with a porter who works for the port, not the cruise line.  So tip the guy a couple dollars at least.  These people put all of the luggage in carts based on the luggage tags on your bags.  The porters take your bags to the ship's doors and there ship's personnel send then through a scanner, one bag at a time just like at the airport, with someone watching content.  I don't know for sure but my bet is they have dogs sniffing for bombs and other stuff too. Then your bags are delivered to your cabin door.

    Meanwhile you get in a line where they check first to see if you are even supposed to be there; many cruise lines use a self print pass that says you are to sail at that date and time.  

    -Then you get in line to go to a window to have your passport and other paperwork checked and to give your credit card so they can set up your on board cruise account.  

    -Then some cruise lines take your photo at the check in desk and other will take it at a different location as part of the check  in process.  

    -Then they issue you your cruise card which serves as your room key, pass to get off and on the ship in ports and your charge card for everything you buy on ship.

    - Then you and all of your carry on things (including handbags, camera, cell phone, and all packages) go through a scanner just like at the airport.  Everything you are carrying goes on a belt to go through an X-ray machine, just like at the airport.

    -When you clear the scanner/x-ray machine you head to the gangway and there some cruise lines take your photo (those that did not at the check in desk).  The photo is an image that is on the magnetic strip on your cruise card so that when you enter or leave the ship they have your photo as well as your name.

    Now all of the foregoing may vary just a little by cruise line but that's been the process when I have cruised with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, NCL and Princess.

    I have no comment on whether your brownies or other stuff will make it through the security scan.  I do know that ALL CRUISE lines will check to make sure that you do not bring any alcoholic beverage on board.

  4. Could you get in with weed brownies, HA! funny question. I would say leave the weed at home you don't want to risk it, chances are you will be going to ports that if your looking will offer more then enough weed. As for the rest of the check in think of a new hip ride at Disneyland on the busiest day of the year, it blows.

  5. Dogs are gonna love you..........I can't imagine why anyone would risk serious jail time perhaps in a foreign country for a little weed..............
