Cruise Line Security

[ein265]

This is our first cruise ever (Jan 11th Eastern) can anyone tell me about the security on cruise ships. Does DCL scan bags, use metal detectors like the airports?
Thanks

Hi!

Yes, when you enter the cruise terminal at Port Canaveral you will put your carry on items through an x-ray machine and you will go through a metal detector. It's exactly the same as at the airport.

Thanks much !

Plus all checked baggage is xrayed and sniffed by the pups.

ein265 - we were lucky enough to have one of the officers dine at our table. This was pre 9/11. He happened to be in charge of security. He mentioned that there were "several" plainclothes security people around the ship. He asked if we had seen them. Everyone said no; and he said,"Good they are doing their jobs right." So they are there - you just don't know where. Now that I think about it they are probably in the terminal too.
