security question

[8togo]

Taking my first cruise in September out of Port Canaveral and have a security question.

 

When you're going through security, do you just walk through a metal detector and they xray carryons, or do they have those intrusive body scans like at some airports?

 

Thanks!

Just the metal detector and scan your luggage. No big deal.

It's much less intimidating than at an airport. They do xray carry-ons, but only once did I have to go through a metal detector. Usually it is just the carry-ons that are examined.

I have never experienced an intrusive body scan and I travel the airways frequently.

Carry on is xrayed and you walk through a metal detector just like an airport.

Every port that i've ever been to, there has been a Metal detector we have to walk thru...Also everytime you board the ship from a port of call, you will have have your items scanned and walk thru a metal detector as soon as you board at the gangway.

Wow you guys are fast! My dd, 13, was worried about scanners. Glad to tell her NO on that.

If you happen to go thru an airport with a body scanner just let her know they have these intrusive scanners to keep her safe!

 

They are a bit annoying and take a little longer but I do feel safer going thru them than a regular scanner, you would not believe the things people get on planes with just the walk thru scanner.

Just be sure not to have any of those deadly surfboard shaped bottle openers from Ron Jon's in your carry on.....things tend to slow down when you do!!!

Tell her not to worry. Relax and remember a couple of minutes after going through the scanner (metal detector) she will be on the cruise ship and for the time being she can adopt my cruising theme---"It's all about me"

The majors I've been into has used them as an option but did not force you to use them, they were just another line.

I for one, welcome the "intrusive" body scanners, they are so much quicker and more efficient & safer. Since I have an artificial hip and a fused spine, I can go thru the body scanner in less than 15 seconds while a wanding and hand pat down takes several minutes.

 

Someone wanting to bring something illegal on board a ship or plane will be very hesitant to go thru a scanner machine, but could take their chances on a walk thru metal detector.

When you get back on the ship at each port you will also go through the metal detectors....

[Cruzin 1025]

Oh...and no taking your shoes off like at the airport!

[scchasgal]

and no 3 oz liquid retrictions like airports

...It's all about me"

 

and i thought it was all about me :rolleyes:. been on 10 cruises, never realized there was a metal detector. just goes to show you where my brain is.

[lillian marie]

It's a lot quicker and easier than security at a major airport.

and hit your head on the top of the machine if you are even almost tall :) .... (I never can remember to duck)

Metal detectors and Xray...Yes! Body cavity searches :eek:....No! And no touchy feely TSA agents :D

[Upandadam]

It seems to me that the metal detecors on ship are calibrated with less sensitivity than airports. More like they used to be decades ago.

We have been on 20+ cruises, and we always walk through the metal detector when reboarding the ship and on embarktion day, since 9/11. What port do you sail out of?

[goldwinger88]

Actually, I have been through most major airports. but since I do travel frequently. I take the experienced traveler line and get through quicker since I get get my stuff in the bin and shoes off in no time.

I do have to say that i haven't been traveling as much for the past couple of months so these machines may be new to the airports I go to and through.

 

But with a little planning and patience, any screening in airports or on the ships will be a peice of cake.
