LindaO Posted May 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I guess you could just put them in your pockets... they won't set off the metal detectors... and as far as I know they have yet to install the lime detectors, although I hear the government has funded as feasibility study!! As far as customs goes..they don't care what you take out of the country, only what you bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksawyercruiser Posted May 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Just got off the Liberty on Thursday. They had plenty of limes and none of the bartenders had heard of any ships being without them. They kinda looked at me like I was crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copi2boys Posted May 4, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hmm, limes were cheap at Sprouts this week - 3/$1.00. Would think they would be $1 apiece if there was a shortage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairtexan Posted May 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Decent sized limes at WALMART were 40cents each today! And they weren't large or juicy either. No limes on Navigator 3/23/14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've heard of people bringing snax onboard .. and limes are a fruit ... so can I ? I gotta have limes to go with my smuggled, er, uh ... nevermind that part! :p;).. We always bring limes onboard. Never a problem. We pack a duffle with snacks, limes, etc. for the cabin. Have never been questioned or stopped. The only restrictions is taking them off the ship in various countries, including the U.S. But never a problem bringing them on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatherb1958 Posted May 4, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Very few limes on Adventure on the TA until we were docked next to Freedom in SJU or St. Maarten when one of our bartenders said Adventure 'stole' some of theirs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlas000 Posted May 5, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just off the April 27 FOS. They had limes but the bartender told me that she was only to give them out if the customer asked for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbienj Posted May 5, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 5, 2014 No limes on the Jewel, April 26 sailing. The question was asked at the Captain's Q&A as to where the limes were. Apparently there is a line shortage and they are working to get them locally from the islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
