The OP was asking about self debarkation.

We have self assisted on both cruises and will probably always do it that way. It just works for us. Less lines in customs at that point and honestly we just like it.
That being said, we have never had our luggage checked. We have always taken it with us right off the ship and straight through the customs line. We have never had to have it checked or searched. Although, Be aware that you can always be pulled aside for a more thorough search in customs, but I've never witnessed it and believe it to be pretty rare.
