friend told me you can because of international waters and no laws, but is that even true?

Even though your in international waters im pretty sure that its still illegal to smoke weed on them. I went on a Princess cruise ship during spring break and I know they didnt enforce some laws like underage drinking but im still pretty sure they would enforce it against drugs. I know some of the people I met bought weed off the crew members and some snuck it abroad but I didnt do it because its still a big risk and if your caught you most likely will be kicked of the ship which would suck because it cost a lot of go on there. BTW which cruise ship are you taking?

JmaG

dunno

my girl wants me to go on a cruise with her but if im gonna be there not smoking for like a week im straight off that.

I don't think you cruise in international waters I went on a cruise and we were about two or three miles tops of the coast of Mexico... and I couldn't gamble plus all American laws apply on boats i don't think anyone would go on a cruise if you could murder someone with no consequences... I'm not even entirely sure international waters exist and your friend could have heard about that from that episode of the Simpsons

feedyourhead

uh. . . they're not gonna let you take weed on the cruise ship. i mean, you do have to pass through security to get on the boat of course.

but as another thing, you'd seriously pass up a cruise just so you can stay home and get high? you're crazy man.

Ok, its like this: No, just because you are in "international waters" doesn't mean laws are irrelavent. if you are flying under a US flag, all US laws and regulations apply. No. they won't OPENLY allow you to bring weed aboard. However, from what I've gathered, it isn't difficult at all to sneak a it of weed onto the ship. While you can't smoke openly as if it were legal, I'm sure there are places you could get high on the down low. Use common sense, and don't forget for a second that what you are doing is illegal and there could be harsh consequences if caught......but, thats a fact of life for most american potsmokers. Don't advertise what you're doing, and you should be fine. Just whatever you do, don't think ofr a second that you're somehow exempt from tyhe law just because you're on a cruise ship, because that is far from being the least bit accurate

Its definately easy to sneak it in at a port not when initially boarding. Basically the only thing they do when your board is x-ray your bag and you have to walk through a metal detector. No drug dogs or anything it could probably just be put it in your pocket but I would double bag it to keep the smell down though.

lol if i even did id probably so paranoid id like tape it to my balls or something

Basically smoking on cruise ships is tricky bit of work. Note that doesn't mean IMPOSSIBLE. Please note, this only deals with 1 cruise line in the Caribbean.

First: Getting it on board...Especially nowadays, ship do a little more detailed security checks than in the past (9/11 again) and it applies to bulk luggage. Personal inspections at checkpoints as of the LAST time i took a cruise (2004) was done only looking for weapons and no "drug dogs" or the like was in evidence. So expect metal detectors and xray machines. I would compare it to what you'd would go through going into a Courthouse.

Second: unless you are REALLY lucky enough to get a cabin up near the top of the deck, you cant exactly open the window to blow smoke out of. Cruise ships have very VERY close quarters especially in the air circulation system, and smoking some sticky bud in a joint will defiantly go down the line of rooms.

Third: You can walk around the deck at night and do some covert smoking, but you'd run the risk of running into ships crews, especially those on the security staff...and ALL ships carry security. And while some MAY turn their head with crew or passengers you cant always count on that.

Fourth: VERY important; even though almost all cruise lines ships are registered in other countries, since those ships are owned by US corporations, and operate out of US ports, they are still subject to Maritime Law...which in this case, can be even WORSE if you were on land.

To wit: A crime committed in international water can leave you subject to law of the ships country of registry, the passengers country of origin and the country of destination...SO if im caught with a 1/2 oz of dank going to Bermuda on a Dutch registered ship, in theory i can be charged as a US citizen, under US law, as a guest of the Bermudian Government (which is a territory of Great Britain) and under Dutch Law (ships home port of registration). More often than not, unless you are carrying MAJOR weight (pounds/kilos) you'll just eat the charges as a US citizen.

Overall, you want to bring bud onto a cruise ship, limit the amount, because you sure as hell don't want to be caught with a serious stash. Do NOT smoke in your cabin, unless you can go out a window or balcony. If you do, I would use the shower/steam trick, which isn't much, but it'll help some. I'd be REALLY careful trying to buy off crew unless you come across them smoking, and even then avoid that area like the plague...lol


So what cruise line are you going on? and where are traveling to? That might give you a better idea of what you can get away with.

I'm going on a Carnival cruise to Mexico this summer- anyone have info as to security or drug dogs with this cruise line? I had seen in another thread people suggesting bringing bud on in your underpants or shoes- would this work if there are dogs? Thanks
