Security on re-entering ship at Ports of Call

[ferrethome]

So, what is security like when you re-enter the ship at the ports of call (e.g., Sint Maarten, Cozumel)? I know you go through airport-similar security on first embarkation, but what keeps a person from bringing contraband or weapons on board from the ports of call?

When reboarding at each port, you have to walk through a metal detector, and your bags go on a conveyor belt to be x-rayed, just like at the airport. We just cruised a couple of months ago and they seemed to take security very seriously. They were friendly, but thorough.

Also do not forget to have a picture id in addition to the KTTW card.
