Rare morpheusofthesea Posted August 2, 2023 #27 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) With all my DW's luggage I was feeling really confident about leaving home a duffel bag that I used to bring along on cruises that gets 'flagged' by security. It is a bag stuffed with smoke shields and flotation jackets in the event of fire on board. It has been 50 years since we both experienced the smell of smoking pot in our college dorms, so the aroma would be 'nostalgic'. We are more concerned about fires on board ship (especially now that it has been reported that 45 ships have decertified Paroc fire insulation panels on board). Wouldn't mind if they did their 'smoking' in designated smoking areas out on deck. All smoking on ships is a concern,,, especially now with recent revelations (Paroc).

TravelandLeisure85 Posted August 2, 2023 #28 Share Posted August 2, 2023 We were just on the Seaside (not Yacht club) at the end of July and weed was a huge problem throughout our sailing. We smelled it in both the hallway and on our balcony, and saw people openly lighting up while docked at Ocean Cay. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with smoking but when it can be a fire Hazzard and possibly cause a fire 🔥 Then it becomes an issue with me and should be a major concern for MSC Designated areas 👍🏻 no issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs are mainly at the port during embarkation. This is no different than drug sniffing dogs at airports. It's *possible* some of these dogs may at some time be on some ships for some sailings...but again, very different saying they live onboard. Technically true on a very limited scope, but very misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically true on a very limited scope, but very misleading. I don’t need to justify it, there were news reports, videos all over YouTube by a lot of positive influencers and reports from cruisers actually witnessing the dogs living on ship and agree for some sailings maybe not all (special clientele cruises) Regardless Case & point there are drugs on MSC seaside in the Yacht club There is a problem on carnival with drugs and carnival have taken strict measures to address the issue MSC need to nip this in the “bud” if internet was really good I would post Multiple links and news reports and videos of dogs living on ships, but it is now time for me to indulge in some adult beverages that are legal and don’t typically smell or cause 🔥 Lets not go off out to left field too much bush🌳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a carnival spokesperson I’m sure their own staff don’t want to Exaggerate Marijuana, even for medicinal uses, remains illegal under federal law. Carnival said the drug-sniffing dogs will be used both at the terminal and on the ships. Security may conduct searches regularly or randomly, according to the cruise line. If guests are found violating the policy on a Carnival Cruise, they could face up to a $500 fine. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/losangeles/news/carnival-cruise-line-to-introduce-drug-sniffing-dogs-security-officers-and-curfew/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says searches will be conducted on the ships.. those are very different things that may or may not be the same. For example, it could mean luggage is searched once brought onboard. It also doesn't say how many and how often. This is why it is technically true, but misleading to say what you did. I think carnival, rightly so, is being circumspect in what it says. It would be stupid of them to do otherwise. But I haven't seen dogs roaming the halls on carnival ships so it can only be so widespread, if at all.

A more proper analogy would be, man goes to the moon. You would assume that meant he stepped on it, I would say *maybe* he did. In reality, several missions went to the moon before man landed on it. You are reading between the lines and assuming things...I am not. Furthermore, I am using my, admittedly limited, personal experience. I haven't seen dogs on any carnival cruise. Doesn't mean they aren't there...just because I haven't seen them. I haven't seen marshals on planes but they are there for sure. However, if it was as you implied, there were now living in ships I think I, or someone I know, would have seen them. Dogs, unlike marshals, can't blend in.

I get it You are a carnival cheerleader 📣 I’m sure the news reports and bloggers and vloggers are all liars I am a liar and Carnival spokes people are liars too It’s a problem on all lines, just Carnival seems to be the worst and they are trying to fix the issue more than other lines When I am back on land and have decent wifi I will post the reports and videos of the dogs living on the ships let’s get off the carnival bandwagon and back to MSC and the issues of confirmed WEED in the yacht club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reported people for smoking cigarettes on their balcony before. To me, it makes no difference if it's pot or tobacco. It is against the rules and disruptive to other passengers either way. Pot seems particularly dumb and dangerous though, as some of the countries cruise ships visit have VERY harsh penalties for drug possession. Not sure I would be willing to risk serving time in a foreign prison... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
