Jade13 Posted December 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2015 It sounds like a crime scene otherwise why would cops be onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmc250 Posted December 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Celebrity is offering water bottles to those of us in line. Nice touch. Although a little information would be nice too! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4Bruins Posted December 12, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 12, 2015 FWIW, one of the people passing out water just told us that boarding would be delayed at least an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaHunt Posted December 12, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Passing out water but ran out before they got to us Oh well probably good because I would just have to use the ladies, and can't get there from here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmc250 Posted December 12, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Update from Celebrity: customs and border control regulatory inspection. No alarm, just procedural. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter73 Posted December 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The Celebrity rep said it's an 'inspection' that Border Patrol is entitled to do at any time and they chose today to do it. We saw the Hotel Manager in the lobby here on the phone. We're catching up with friends we met on our last cruise so time is flying by for us.

JERSEYGIRL1983 Posted December 12, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well security up here states that this is her 4th contract with celebrity and this is her first time seeing this. Im sorry but i highly doubt its "procedural" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JERSEYGIRL1983 Posted December 12, 2015 Author #20 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Captain just made an announcement. Said that some jerk thought it would be funny to make a threat while getting off the ship. Said it was a joke. Obviously because of the times we live in they are not risking anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
always_chasing Posted December 12, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The captain just made an announcement onboard that someone made a very poor decision and made a security threat as they were leaving the ship so they're doing some extra security checks.

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 12, 2015 #22 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Seems highly likely that they would tell people waiting that it's "procedural" to keep them from panicking. The "rest of the story" will be revealed later. Meantime, I hope posters will keep from jumping to conclusions that this is somehow related to Celebrity's president and her staff, or a terror threat, or a crime scene or any other idea.

Caribbean Chris Posted December 12, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 12, 2015 We,ve been inside the terminal - arrived at 11 am and given assistance since I have service dog, however still inside waiting. Someone did just bring water bottles, so I was able to offer the dog a drink. Local personnel said a disembarking idiot passenger said, "Have fun, we left a bomb aboard." Hence the police.
