Medical MaryJane-er here. If you want a seamless cruise, DO NOT bring the wacky tobacky. MMJ has replaced three prescriptions for me, which is great. But, I keep the prescriptions on hand for when I travel for this very reason. Part of the terms and conditions for getting my medical card were to agree to not bring it out of state. I don't even want to risk it by putting gummies in with my Vitamin C. I'm not putting a vacation, on which I spent $5-7k, at risk for some weed.
Just cruise all the time and your medical condition is cured!
@@winstonmiller4854 I wish! Still several years until retirement.
Good job with the not out of state requirement! A pain, I know, but it keeps them in business too!
A lady got refused to board a Carnival ship because she had gummies in her suitcase.
@@karyndewit193 I remember that but not that they were in a suitcase. I thought she never it made it on to the ship.
I agree, kudos to him for taking responsibility for it. It's good that he's also asking others to learn the same lesson from his experience.
Anyone traveling internationally claiming that they don’t know the rules covering regulated drugs cannot be telling the truth. If he didn’t know, he didn’t want to know. I’ve been flying internationally for forty years and the most I’ve been caught with is too much toothpaste.
None of us are perfect in things we say or do and he acknowledge he messed up and accepted the consequences of his actions like a real man and maintained his dignity and respect. So many of us and our children could learn from him.
He said that on his ig. And famous bestie said the same thing
At least he's not throwing a temper tantrum. Appreciate that!
What people may not realise is that where the ship is registered trumps where the passenger is from. Just because it is legal to use a substance where a customer lives, be it medical or otherwise, if it is illegal where the ship is registered then this means it is illegal upon the ship at all times as that countries laws apply when you are aboard the ship. Additionally, if a substance is illegal at any port of call, then while in that country's waters (within 12mi of the coastline) then any substance that is illegal in that country also applies to the ship and all aboard, and as such, those laws will supersede any laws that says a substance is legal from any other jurisdiction, even those laws from where the ship is registered.
This is why it is illegal for MJ in the Caribbean/Bahamas, numerous countries there do not even permit it for medical purposes.
And if you’re thinking "but I’m not visiting a port where it is a banned substance" …well situations arise, such as weather changing the itinerary, or a medical event arises that may necessitate stopping at a port that such substance is illegal, which then puts the ships owners, and the passenger at risk of legal action in that country.
So just know that it is not the cruise lines looking to spoil your enjoyment, it is the fact that there are just too many unknowns and possible legal consequences should such substances be allowed onboard, regardless of if it is for medical or recreational purposes.
Hope this helps viewers understand the reasoning behind it.
Thanks for making it abundantly clear. Ppl acting like it is their god given right to smoke weed or do lines.
It is also illegal in other countries as well. It could very well escalate into an international incident. Don't people remember what happened to Britney Greiner in Russia? She was stopped for CBD oil
You are correct. Just because something is legal in one state, doesn't mean it's legal everywhere. However, alcohol is legal everywhere and alcohol is quite dangerous, at least that what every physician I've worked with has told me.
Let's be real.. a lot of people don't even understand that different states have different laws, let alone when they're traveling abroad. People are pretty silly and I wonder how a lot of them are even still alive or not in prison at this point.
@littleeva very dangerous. We always hear about the dangers of smoking, but rarely alcohol. Like smoking can take 10 years off your life, on average.. drinking can take 20 years off your life, on average! Drinking has become an important part of our culture and really it always has been. Even in ancient times people drank wine. It's also in the Bible which is the main reason why the western world doesn't want to give it up. There are a lot of unnecessary deaths due to alcohol every single year.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that weed is legal in Jamaica. Weed is ILLEGAL in Jamaica too.
I didn’t know this.
@@karyndewit193 Yes ma'am google it.
No its not. Google your shit.
I didn't know that either, as they (Jamaicans) met us at port. We stopped through and was met by them, selling their overpriced souvenirs and giving and selling Mj😮
It's really not illegal in Jamaica you just can't walk down the street and smoke it like everyone thinks private residence or even at a hotel you can smoke it
I agree that he handled it very well, accepting responsibility and letting his experience be known so others don't make the same mistake. I think how a person behaves and handles adversity speaks to their character and he is setting a good example in this case.
I feel bad for his mother…. to have her vacation cut short like that.
I love his calm demeanor about the situation. It's almost like he figured it could happen and he was appreciative of the time he was on the cruise.
Well, he was probably still high, so that may have helped 😂.
@@patriciaflaherty 😂Well I don't know but he sure handled it calm.
This also applies to some pharmaceuticals. Some prescription drugs that are readily available in the U.S., aren't allowed in other countries. So if you have prescription medicine check the laws in your destination(s) before you go!
This is a good one! I seen way to many people get sent back to the US or getting in trouble for bringing their prescription to another country. Not all drugs are legal in every country It is a great idea to check before you go. Also i forget what country it is but vapes or anything to do with vaping is illegal It's an Asian country I just can't remember which one.
@@johnathanmcfadden8978 Id guess Singapore, based on nothingbrealky😇
I called my cruise consultant and asked for a list of all banned medication‘s on the ship and he said there were none as long as it’s prescribed by a doctor. NCL
@@BOSTONTUFTS that's just on the ship.
@@socalgal714 so if that prescription happens to be marijuana from my doctor and I leave it on the ship, everything should be fine according to my cruise consultant.
He knew before he boarded that it was not allowed. The cruise line owes him nothing. He took it onboard knowing it was illegal and chose to take the risk. He got caught. Thats why he acted like an adult when he got thrown off the ship
Exactly! Plus he seemed to be just a Drama queen and doing it for some sort of views more than likely anyhow 🤡
Actions have consequences, play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Lots of knowing it all people responding! Lol
So you all know exactly what was in this gentleman’s mind? Lol
Just stop at “he got caught!”
Done!
@@maciomacio8745 he literally SAID, OUT OF HIS MOUTH that he knew, your comment really didn't do what ya thought it would, but then again that would require a brain
@@maciomacio8745 No! Stop trying to silence people. It was stupid for him to do that.
I have to be 100% honest, I’ve brought a pen and some gummies on a cruise before. I got away with it but it wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t worth the stress and anxiety of “what if they find it?” “What will I do” “how will I get home” “no way I spend thousands of dollars to get kicked off” just to be stoned on a cruise. The risk vs reward is incredibly unbalanced on the risk side
Yeah so true.
You can be kicked off at any time and any place. So the inconvenience and stress are not worth it.
I literally smoked on my cruise multiple times... but if I ever cruise again, I won't risk it.
Just be smart about it and only have it in your room and hod well in belongings.
We sailed in January on Royal. The smell of weed was so strong!!! We were shocked that it was allowed! Good to see him taking responsibility for his actions.
It's not allowed, no one chose to enforce it.
Really? I NEVER smelled weed on my 12 Royal cruises! I don't believe you !
Royal don't have the dogs sniffing you and your bags at the terminal may change some day. I never smelled weed on the ship.
We were really shocked. We sail with them often and never smelled weed. It started at sail away and it continued throughout the cruise. Not sure how they got away with it.
@@Marvin-P It’s fine you don’t believe me, but it doesn’t change the fact that weed was used on the sailing we were on.
For those who smoke. Please take into consideration others that may be able to smell it. Some people are highly allergic to the smoke and can actually put them in the hospital
👏🏽 👏🏽 especially cigarettes I was just on the carnival Venezia beautiful ship,but that cigarette smoke set my bronchitis off.
@@mrs.logan926 I thought smoking was only allowed in certain areas
Rules are rules. It's not an issue of, "is it okay or not?" He does seem properly pragmatic about the whole thing.
They really shouldn't pay for anything for you. You know the rules, go without for a week, I do. When you get off in port, smoke then. It's annoying when you smell it the whole time your on your balcony or just outside. There are kids onboard, and you should respect that.
Even without kids onboard, as an adult he should've read the rules and known he should've not bring it. It's a simple concept a lot of people don't seem to comprehend
well said and sick of the come back from all the smokers about booze being a bigger problem.
@@motaz1975They are both problems but I’ve never had an asthma attack triggered by a drunk!
@@Reed-2big agreed. difference is one is legal, one is not. pot heads think cause they have a medical card or its legal in their state they can puff away anywhere, anytime they like. its actually pretty ignorant.
@@motaz1975 That conversation, THC, has been going on so long, I wonder what rock some were under! The CBD is newer law and being the skeptic I am, often wonder what’s been updated! Shoot I’m still finding websites that claim you need COVID tests and that cruise isn’t going anywhere that that’s true, nor could they!
To me the different ways CBD is distributed makes it difficult to test. It’s just simpler to not bother!
I’m boarding a cruise next month that requires me to bring my own distilled water. No mention of whether it has to be sealed etc. And yes, I have the email that says I must bring it. I have no idea how this is going to not be a problem!
I wish more people can act like this in situations when they are wrong or didn't know they were wrong when they didn't do there homework on rules in the situations you can fall into..
Plus, he got off easy
I’m shocked they allowed him to stop for a drink.
Me too I was like wow security to stop him?? That is my question…..
If it’s not allowed,why in the hell would you risk being put off a cruise ship in a foreign country or risk being arrested by foreign authorities where laws are strictly enforced? You know damn well that drugs medical or not it’s not allowed. It looks to me that he decided to take the risk to see how far he can go. Well,he found out the hard way.
I agree...I don't know why people are saying he showed that he is accountable. I don't think so...he recorded the entire time, drank 2 drinks before leaving and showing his partial dominance. Just an attention seeker to me.
What I absolutely love about this story is that he totally took the responsibility for having it. Most young people today would just be mad and scream about how bad the cruise line is. So kudos to this young man!! He learned a hard lesson and I feel bad he got kicked off. But I am very glad he knows his mistake and learn a great lesson and took the responsibility for it!
I like the fact that he took responsibility of his actions, expensive lessons learned
People don't take into account that the porting countries rules. Also cruise lines don't want to be responsible for any incidents that happen on board due to drugs.
If he read the rules, he should have known he could not bring weed on the ship legal or not!
lol rules.
In my opinion, of the most dangerous drugs known to man is alcohol, yet alcohol is socially acceptable, I think that's why people are upset. I've seen so many fights break out when folks are drunk. However, when you deal with international waters, and international laws, that's a different story, people can be arrested and thrown in jail if they posess certain substances.
Well, the US has already tried prohibition and that didn't work out well. The people who wanted alcohol bad enough still found a way to get it.
But alcohol is legal. Maybe one day in the future it would be legal, but then you must still follow the rules and leave your room and go to smoking area.
I appreciate the way he handled it but I hate that his mother missed out on the rest of her vacation. But, mom's will sacrifice for their children. 🤷🏽♀️
Im leaving with my baby too...cause I will be worried about them the whole time❤️❤️❤️
He handled it like a gentleman and I have much respect for him. The problem I see is Jamaica is not the safest place for the cruise ship to leave him and his mother. Especially when the ship’s security should have found the weed before the ship set sail. I hope they are safe.
They will be perfectly fine in JA. 🙄
This young man gets my kudos for how he handled everything. He made a big mistake, took responsibility, and didn’t act out. Obviously, a very respectful individual. Being a mom I must give kudos also to his mom/parent, behavior like that is taught by example. Good luck to you sir. The way you handle yourself will pay off in all you do. But leave the weed at home next trip😉.
He is the best! Thank you for your kind comment. It’s refreshing.
Fights on board by high people : ZERO
Fights on board by drunk people : too many to count.
Let's see the facts? Lol.
@@chrisgrant7338 I'm an Agent for all the cruise lines coming to my island, i am the first one to meet them even before the police are allowed on board buddy...
Go continue your research on blood money LOL.
Recently in one of the Disney Cruise groups I follow, someone was asking how to smuggle his gummies on board. A few people gave him tips, but most of the responses were "it's not worth the risk."
I can’t bashed him or anything!! He took accountability and responsibility and has integrity. So I respect him for that. They should of gave him a choice to dispose of it and stay.
Hard to believe he didn't know it was illegal, as much as it's talked about in social media groups.
If you can’t live without CBD for a week, please don’t cruise. The rules are enforced. Thanks Jay, safe travels!
Or you could just worry about yourself and not figure out what other people need to do because of your standards.
There are people it really helps, being judgmental of them doesn’t help it. I agree pot shouldn’t be on the ship because it’s illegal, but I’ve also seen it on both cruises I’ve been on.
CBD and THC are entirely different from each other with different effects, products, etc. Maybe before opening your mouth to put your idiocy on public display you should do your homework.
@@turkwendell6904 not my standards, it’s the cruise industry. You seem to get triggered easily…
lets use the same logic for cigarettes? you can bring on prescription meds that are considered narcotics.. imagine telling someone with other health issues if you can't survive without your meds don't go on vacation. lol
BIG-Ups for him taking accountability and maintaining peace by staying cool.
Carnival is trying to cut it out too, went on the Liberty last week at at the embarkation terminal has everyone line up against the wall and place belongings on the floor and a dog sniffed everything. Kinda made you feel you were in a lineup.
Wow. I can understand why they did it but they literally treated y'all like you were criminals! There's got to be a better way.
kudoes for him taking accountability for his actions. He seams like an intelligent individual, so fro him to say “he didn’t know”, i call bs
Wow, I take 7 prescript meds for diabetes and HBP. Never checked to see if they were allowed. However, we haven't sailed overseas. Bahamas and the Caribbeans. Good lesson and kudos to the young man for being calm, not cussing and making it RCCL's problem.
I am thinking the high BP and diabetes meds might be allowed in any country, but it is best to check, anyway.
1+1=2. C comes after B. Right and Wrong are different things. Left and Right are different directions. If you board an airplane or cruise ship you don’t get to make up your own rules as you go.
I smoke but I follow the rules this guy seems like he wanted to just do whatever he wanted. He deserved to be kicked off
He took full accountability of his actions and complied with security in a respectful manner.
I don’t think he should be banned from the cruise line for life, after all from the sounds of he learned his lesson. Maybe there should be a probationary period or something…
Do they ban them for life for such a small thing as weed? I don't use the stuff, and probably never will, but I think that being put off the ship is, lesson learned, won't do it again, now if, after 2 or 3 times of being caught, yes, ban them for 5 to 10 years, and then give them another chance, but then if they mess up just one time after that, then they haven't learned anything, so ban them for life, then.
As an RCL shareholder, THANK YOU ROYAL CARIBBEAN! While the "off ship country goes down the tubes" with drug use illegal or not, and among other things, at least I can cruise without having to deal with this stuff in a confined area. I can't drive down the road even early in the morning without being behind 2 or 3 people smoking the crap ahead of me. (as long as they don't cause an accident, I'm good) Or being on a boat at the springs next to people smoking it over their babies head with the children breathing it directly. Now I have a problem with that which proves their judgement is impaired. I pay a lot of money for a balcony and I do not like people smoking on balconies, and especially not the skunk pot or otherwise.
LOVE this new camera!!!! You stay investing in yourself I applaud you!
He owned up to it and kudos to him and he can enjoy himself in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Your right it depends what side of the fence your on! Everyone remember to check what's not allowed
It is impossible to claim ignorance given the check in process. I appreciate how he owned the situation. My issue with the Mary Jane is that it stinks so much.
They never asked me if i had any? What do you mean? Am I over looking a question?
Thats why you pack edibles
@@Centh23653 they are clear about prohibited items, specifically CBD oil/ CBD Products. They are also clear about smoking on balconies.
@jedimindtrixr4kidz294 I dont use THC or CBS but don't care who does as long as your not sticking up my surroundings
Dont knock till you try it. I used to judge, too
I’m sure he saw that it wasn’t allowed and thought he’d test his luck. I refuse to believe that as a smoker he didn’t look that up. There are also signs in the stateroom telling you not to smoke on the balcony. They have to let folks know that they aren’t playing.
I’m glad that it’s not allowed on cruise ships. I don’t want to be walking around smelling weed on my cruise vacation.
Now of they want to allow gummies, that’s fine because gummies don’t smell.
Thank you for this comment. I can’t stand the smell and it can’t be hidden on a ship
A little light in the LOFTERS ?? But You know the RULES !!!
He’s been so calm and u telling me a warning couldn’t have happened
I 💯 respect how he handled this.
Smoking anything on your balcony is not allowed. He is inconsiderate about others and this was a fair outcome.
Expensive lesson.
The cruise line tells you All over NOT to bring it! Signs even when going through the terminal.🙄 Maritime law prohibits. He know exactly what he was doing. Sad he ruined is Mom's vacay all for a few puffs🙄
You are right giving kudos to this guy. He should have looked at the rules
Wow that’s honestly a lot better than I would have expected. They even give a free cab ride. Wow
Medical or not he should have known not to bring MJ on a cruise. Its ALL OVER THE INTERNET and all over the website. He better be careful though...its also illegal to bring on airlines entering the US. Unless he has thrown it out or the cruiseline confiscated it he is still at risk for legal action. Its good that he took responsibility and hopefully others will learn from his mistakes. Thanks for the info J.
Seems like everything could have been avoided for him by some research or a call to Royal before booking a cruise or before Embarkation...
Just read the cruise contract.
@@bethdavis6863 Yep
Know what is allowed. When I travel internationally I sometimes consult a travel doctor. He goes so far to research medications we often travel with. In some countries over the counter meds in the US may be prescription meds in other countries and vice versa.
I would of stopped at the buffet too😂😂😂😂
WOW JUST WOW. I can NOT IMAGINE this happening to me. But then again I would NEVER EVER take ANYTHING with me that could cause this. Can you imagine how his Mom left.. it would be SO disappointing and embarrassing to be told to get off the ship 😮 Sure hope they had their passports AND the added funds needed to get back home.
Medical Marijuana Marinol should be allowed, though. It is Marijuana compounded into a capsule as an appetite stimulate. It's prescribed to elderly patients with issues of eating and cancer patients as an appetite stimulant. This is considered discrimination to those who have Marijuana prescribed to them in any form. I can see lawsuits coming from these rules.
NO WEED ON CRUISE SHIPS PERIOD!!!
@MarvinTee Comprehension is obviously something you aren't good at. Obviously, I understand the rule.
@@Marvin-Pyou're a real class act. Period.
Its so funny Im seeing this now as we just got back on the ship about 2 hours ago in Jamaica, and gave our joints away to our tour guide. I didn't know it would be THAT big of a deal, but Im so glad we didn't bring it back. They were searching EVERYONES bags like crazy, took sooo long to get back on, that part was miserable in the heat.
Rules are rules…… and check ahead of time if you’re not sure. I’m not bringing the CBD joint cream because It may get me kicked off for misunderstanding. I try to look at others experiences, read the cruise rules, watch TH-cam cruise and travel videos. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I don’t blame the mom, a mother’s love, getting off with her child, ( no matter the age). Glad he posted a video so others can see, medical or not, cruising can’t be your vacation of choice, if you going to bring the left-handed cigarettes onboard. Again, it’s their rules.
thanks for sharing
Guess he should follow the rules and not bring illegal substances onboard. Doesn't matter whether its medical or not. All smoking should be BANNED! Its a huge fire risk due to irresponsible people.
Good for him for having a great attitude! I don't use marijuana in any form, but I don't have an issue with those who do. As long as weed smokers had a separate place to smoke on the ship, and it would contain the smell better, I'm fine with it on a cruise ship.
Yep, the key phrase is "contain the smell"! I find the scent almost nauseating!
I agree, he was very mature about ot all.
Unrelated but ok Justin we see the upgraded video quality!! I love the growth!
He did good to take accountability and that he just tried to make it all good and by making the video he wanted everyone to know the rules are rules period and there are consequences 👍
1st mistake on the baloney. Take a pill form. Medically, there are so many other ways to use your medicine very discreetly. It was completely uncalled for him to bring the LOUDEST form of his medicine.
The rules are standard across all cruise lines. He knew that prescription or not Marijuana is illegal. Not worth trying to argue besides being kicked off in Jamaica shoukd allow him to try some of the pure strong stuff while he's on the island. As long as federal law says it's illegal the cruise ships will follow suit. At least he didn't make a scene since he was at fault. I wish he well 😊
You do know that the federal government says CBD from hemp with the low THC is legal right? And, it still isn’t allowed on Caribbean cruises.
Should everyone have to give up the legal in the US drugs if one of the ports has a ban on for example Ritalin? How about Sudafed or Tylenol PM?
Don’t get me wrong, I hate the smoke and I’m wary of CBD, but there is a point of no return here somewhere. Right now I’m not sure how you verify the CBD is the legal type but for other things I think you shouldn’t have to leave it home, just not take it into port!
And the coca candy from Peru? I’m told it can cause a positive drug test. I don’t recall if it’s legal to bring back … the leaves aren’t legal even when in tea form.
Ummmm CBD doesn't have THC...
@@BigAnt204 It’s only certified to less than
I saw this on TikTok. If you need to use that, then bring some gummies that can easily pass did something else. He messed up and is paying the consequences.
Flower is only good if you’re at home. Traveling, gummies and other candies are best. Or just vape in the smoking areas.
a cruiser got kicked denied boarding carnival last week for having gummies. use a vape, no smell, and they think it's tobacco
@@Boosmoneythey usually just confiscate items not deny entry, but things have been changing. Which cruise was it, I wouldn’t take anything on the ship with the drug dog.
Gummies are still illegal. NOTHING with marijuana
Don't bring gummie someone was denied boarding.
🇨🇦Legal in Canada🇨🇦 YES , also in some US States , but common sense states read the cruise ship rules before attempting to board the ship or your vacation can be cut short. Just don't do it or attempt to.
Lesson learned. Glad that he admitted it 👍🏾
I agree with you and commend the man's reaction. While I don't smoke anymore (7 years sober next month), I do think weed is harmless and also helpful in many medical situations. However, that is not the topic here. He broke a rule, and they were right to kick him off the ship for it. If you break their rules, including bringing contraband on board, they are allowed to kick you off. This is why it's important to research trips before you go on them lol. I hope he enjoyed the rest of his trip ❤ thank you as always for a great video!
If you are 7 years sober, that means you must've had a problem with it. Many people think weed is not addictive, but it is psychologically addictive. Many people feel they cannot be without it. That's why so many get caught. If you smell like it, the dog is going to alert on you, and they will end up searching your luggage, no matter how well sealed the package or bottle you have it in.
One thing's for sure. He made it abundantly clear that RCL was kicking him off the ship. I dont see how he ciuld possibly claim that he had no idea, however. Things like this are constantly hammeder home through videos and consistently through cruise agents. At least he finally owned it.
I agree he did take accountability for his actions. He did man up. I too respect him for that.
I appreciate that he took responsibility and did not be a "Karen" about it. My wife was in a highspeed crash and now will on occasion use a cbd gummy for pain but she won't take it on a cruise. As far as law, federal law trumps state law, where it has been made legal. In fact the feds could come in and make arrests for what the state makes legal.
Medical marijuana licenses are only legal in the state in which they are issued. No state allows you to smoke in a public place, much less take it out of the state. He should have known better.
A lot of states have reciprocity where your card is accepted even if from another state.
NY City allows you to smoke it openly in public places.
All I have to say about this is that, if I were his mom, I'd be ticked about leaving the ship with him. I may not have left at all since he's clearly an adult and knew he was doing something wrong. On the other hand, I probably would have left with him as she did because I wouldn't have been able to enjoy myself on the ship not knowing where, exactly, they were taking him and when he would make it back home. He not only ruined his cruise but he ruined his mother's cruise as well and I think he said his best friend was also with them so he ruined his friend's cruise too.
I wouldn't of left at all.
I agree and it’s unfortunate that it happened to this young man, but you have to follow the rules.
File a chargeback with a credit card company, it was medical. When I was on chemo it was a life saver to take in order to deal with side effects.
he took a risk and lost. kudos on doing the bare minimum: not throwing a tantrum
I just got off carnival Venezia it reeked of pot everywhere lol in the cigar area on the upper floor. There was a group of people smoking pot security came to check, but these guys were clever, they had it in their black-and-white CIGARS.
I'm glad he took full responsibility and didn't behave foolishly. Life is about choices and consequences. However, I'm sorry that his actions resulted in his mother and friend also being removed.
There are rules, just follow there will be NO PROBLEMS. On carnival you sign that prohibited - dos and don't information before you print your boarding pass and luggage tags. you know ahead of time what you can bring and cannot.
Jay I do really enjoy your videos and all the different ships. I do not smoke anything at all. However if there are rules on a ship, no marijuana then everyone must obey the rules or face the consequences. This young man handled it well. No yelling, screaming or tantrums, which I think was good as no police got involved. I am sure he was able to get a flight the following day back to USA.
Im paranoid enough that I looked up if I could take my AD/HD medicine on board. I didn't take anything off the ship except my insulin lol I just walked back or waited till I was back to take my pills.
Good for him for being responsible and reasonable. Way too many people post about these sort of situations hoping to cause an uproar.
If he WAS smoking on his balcony, he deserves to be perma banned from cruise ships. No matter what side of the fence you are on about mary Jane.
He may or may not have known about the drug, but there are signs EVERYWHERE about not smoking in your cabin.
I live in the very green state of OR where it’s legal. At age 73 last year I took my first solo cruise to Alaska. I’m a gal from the 60s so I’ve been at it for a while and I knew for sure I had better not take it on my cruise on the Carnival Splendor! 😂❤
I was thinking Carnival would be the best option for me and my fiances first cruise, but as ive researched, ive found im actually leaning towards Royal Caribbean. Their suites look spectacular and i mean when you think of the sights and everything youll be seeing, it really isnt all that super expensive. I mean sure it takes some saving (both money and vacation and/or sick time from work), but it can be done. If youre not very good at saving money, you can even have State and/or Federal taxes take out more money from your check that you'll get back at the end of the year. You can get back a nice little chunk of change back or it can help you a lot if you have to pay in at the end of the year. Ive had to start doing that because a couple years ago i owed $1,700 in taxes. Somehow my job put down that i had multiple dependents and they didnt take out enough money throughout the year. No worse feeling than going to file taxes, thinking you're getting a return, and end up owing them almost 2 grand 😂. Anyways, im rambling now.
Fun Fact: Many people think that Jamaica is legal to smoke weed, when in actuality, it's not. A small percentage of Jamaicans actually smoke, but use it as a tactic for profit when foreigner/tourist are in the country. The police will fine you for it if seen, but it's a brush over when a tourist have it due to us bringing money to the country.
What the Brittney Griner going on here....😮 I saw the dog last week in the Galveston, TX port!
It was in the paperwork not to bring it. Eatables are included as well.
There wasn’t a dog on the Carnival Glory. BUT they did make us pass our carry on bags in front of the dogs nose at the port of New Orleans.
I’m surprised he was able to get it on board in the first place.
all smoking should be banned on cruises, but medical MJ should be fine if it's editable. That does not affect anyone else.
This guy saying "If you ever want to bring something on board, even if it's MEDICAL...don't do it" couldn't be any more wrong. How about diabetics who are on insulin? How about people who take pills for high blood pressure? Cholesterol meds? I'm on an injectable medication and take it on my cruises. No problems. I even fly with it and declare it at TSA security. I'm just wondering how he got it through security.
I am sure he just meant cannabis, not other meds.
I will agree the guy is taking it well, kudos to him. Now how he does not know it was not allowed is had to believe. Before going you fully check the requirements and see what is not allowed. A while back I knew someone who used CBD oil. Legal in the state but any amount of check before the cruise easily told them is was not permitted. You have to check and know, not assume.
Just talk about the incident at hand. I've smelled smoke on the queen Mary. I was on the Magic out of New York and didn't find out about the brawl until 2days later on the bews!
Yes he was very mature and acted better than a lot of people older than him. It’s also about the ports, once that ship enters the legal jurisdiction of any country they have to abide by that countries laws and since there so many countries including the USA where it is illegal, that is why they can not allow it, it subjects the cruise line to fines and possibly being banned from that port.
I hope it’s not true that the port has jurisdiction over what’s in your cabin! There are too many ports that have restrictions about drugs you wouldn’t want people off of!
I’m good with checking the embarkation and debarkation ports, but even then that can limit drugs people really need.
Know before you go. Simple.
I smoke on land... but I don't bring bud on cruises! Many times I find bud at the destinations, smoke it there and get back on the ship high, but "clean".. A few times, I have bumped into another passenger, in the smoking section, that somehow managed to get some aboard. I won't front. I've taken a toke or two from them, but my room and my luggage is ALWAYS "immaculate"! lol
You know why I don't bring a case of beer on the cruise when I first board??? Because the cruise ship says "NO"!!! Drinking beer is not illegal. When a ship says "NO" for their ships - it doesn't matter if it is legal. I am glad that he took accountability.
