Weed enthusiasts, take note if you’re planning to vacation aboard Carnival Cruise Line anytime soon.
Sorry, weed smokers. Carnival Cruise Line has become what those who imbibe might consider a buzzkill.
A drug detection dog looks through carry-on bags of embarking passengers in this screenshot from a video released by Carnival Cruise Line last spring. Guests who use medical marijuana should “consult with your physician about an alternative therapy during your cruise,” she said. Carnival spokesman Matt Lupoli declined to answer specific questions about the frequency of drug dog deployment, or whether specific complaints or incidents prompted the new policies.The drug detection dogs, first deployed last fall, are owned by Carnival, he said, and not by law enforcement agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection or the Transportation Safety Administration.
Another follower said, “We sailed on New Years Eve, and the smell of pot was everywhere, it was bad. We sailed again in March and the dog was there, and no smell of pot on board.” Guests agree that Carnival can search their cabins, luggage and personal effects “at all times and without notice” to ensure compliance. Guests who refuse such screenings or are caught with such items “may be denied boarding or disembarked” with no refund, the policy states.Some states that have legalized recreational use have allowed dispensaries to open near cruise ports. Port states that allow recreational use by adults include New York, California and Alaska.
