Security screening of you and your baggage will be conducted each time you board the ship, and if you are found in possession of any of these items, they may be permanently confiscated.  This list is not exhaustive and any other items may be refused at the discretion of either the Port or Ship security staff.     

  

The following items (this is not an exhaustive list) will not be permitting on-board:

  • Any illegal narcotics/drugs. This includes synthetic, designer drugs, and medical marijuana.  While certain CBD products used for medicinal purposes may be legal in the US, they are not legal in all the ports we visit and therefore these are also considered prohibited items.
