Yes the ones like airport scanners at security not when i initially embark i put it it main suitcase then but Took it off ship at port and back on through the ship scanners and it was ignored completely

I can only tell you my experience im afraid. I think they were more willing because of my qualifications and experience. But i don't think for one minute they would call the authorities lol they may confiscate your drone but i would imagine that's the worst that could happen tbh. I think a lot celebs on the ship the crew at the time etc etc. Ive taken them through msc scanners in hand luggage and not even been questioned before.

If you've passed your EASA then you're very well aware of the European laws which include norway. The answer i have given here is from an experienced fully insured and qualified pilot that flys worldwide. Most hobby drone users i agree don't have a clue about local laws in each country as some can supersed EASA with local regs on top. So research is needed for each location

That's a bit drastic. 😳 im travelling on the jade. I don't have a specific contact at Ncl only what i said about my experience in my call with them. I think it will definitely depend on the ship and person you talk to. But i was told they would take my qualifications insurance and experience into account and would simply keep the drone until i was in port then take it back off me when i board again. Ive had the same with MSC they didn't even bother to confiscate it on virtuosa.

Thank you. I thought it was worth the time taking to them. Initially it was an emphatic no until i explained my experience insurance etc and the ability to email all these documents if needed and i stressed the fact i was happy with the ship holding the drone so it was impossible to be any danger to ship or passengers. Eventually they came back with a positive answer for me which is great 👍🏻 People that moan on this topic have no idea what they're taking about or the laws in the EU and probably have never flown a drone in their life. ( karens ) 🙄😅

Anything is dangerous in the wrong hands. Not dangerous if you're not keeping it in your cabin. And the ship stores it until you're in a port

Just relaying info for real pilots and not hobbyist flyers with no qualifications experience or insurance

Hey everyone. Just an update after nearly an hour conversation with NCL today before my upcoming cruise. After they spoke to several departments and people including security and drone pilot in a department somewhere. I have been given permission to take my drone aboard providing i give it to security on boarding to keep and i can have in any port i want. as I've my EASA license and USA trust certificate full PL insurance worldwide and work with SAR and fully qualified in the uk etc. So if people with no qualifications or experience could convince them I've no idea but i think the worst they will do is confiscate your drone for the voyage. Hope this helps
