The Bahamas Cruise ship security??
Posted: Sat April 18, 2009 06:23 AM UTC
Hello,
Never boarded a cruise ship. We are taking the discovery cruise ship to the GBI. Does the security compare to airlines in the US? You know...can I bring a lighter, fingernail clippers, bottle of water, those things that freak out airport security. Is the screening the same...send things thur x-ray and me through scanner? I have metal in my knee and airport security is a nightmare. Always pulled over for a full body scan! Are there scans the same?
Thanks

You won't have problems as you do at airport security. Take what you need in the size you need, liquids, gels, sprays, nail file, knitting needles etc.

Yeah!! You mean I can bring more than the 3-3-3 rule! Is all luggage carry on with cruises or do you check one bag and can carry on another? I noticed the discovery cruise said one free bag and $15 for next. Does this mean one only! Anyone know?
Thanks

The Cruise lines do their own security screening. Generally they are going to exray your carry on and the lines I travled with last year had metal detectors. When boarding the ship they will take booze, bag it and return it to you at the end of the cruise. NCL was scanning the checked bags in Seattle last September. They are looking for dangerous things and booze, not your 16 ounce shampoo, or lighter or fingernail clippers. Check the website for the ship, they generally have a short list of what you cannot bring on board.

ENjoy!
