So sad.

[rburke]

Jimmel Thom was our cabin steward onboard Allure last September. Seemed like a nice guy. I guess you never can tell about someone...

[Lionesss]

Wow, you never know.

Proabably enticed by the money.

Oh well, guess he wont be working on a cruise ship for a while.

Safe travels.

Sue and crew

Every time I have been to Port Canaveral there have been several drug sniffing dogs hanging out. I can't imagine even trying to smuggle drugs in.

Thanks for sharing. Just unbelievable.

Sounds like Hyman is using the Sgt. Schultz defense...." I know nothing......nothing"........:D

[joe6666]

That doesn't sound like a small time operation.

A kilo of coke?

I think that's quite a bit of money.

"Nice" people smuggle drugs too.

 

Wow, you never know.

 

Proabably enticed by the money.

 

 

Probably?

[AKDeputyDog]

Nice people don't smuggle drugs. Thank goodness they were caught.

[Langley Cruisers]

So sad.

 

Why are you sad about this? A drug smuggler is a drug smuggler, no matter who they are.

Thanks for sharing. Just unbelievable.

 

Unfortunately, not so unbelievable at all and given the number of crew members on Allure or Oasis, it is probably very likely that a small percentage will prove to be unworthy of the trust placed in them. Hopefully this action will discourage some others who might be tempted to follow their example.

I took the OP comment to mean so sad that people feel a need to do this and mess with drugs etc. not so sad that they were arrested.

 

Lets see if she clarifies it for us - :-)

Aww, I definitely like your spin. We'll see. :)

My guess is this is probably more common then we realize, and that our custom officials monitor this very closely.

 

Drugs are brought into our country every day by boat, why not use a big ship? I am glad RCI was on top of this, as this not only protects their investments, but keeps the drugs off our streets too !

 

I would be willing to bet there are undercover custom officials on alot of sailings.

 

Just my two cents :p

Glad to know that Royal Caribbean has a zero tolerance when it comes to drugs. Drug smuggling is illegal and I am glad to know that RCCL called and turned them over to the proper authorities when they arrived in Ft. Lauderdale.

We all have the choice between right and wrong and apparently they made the wrong one and will suffer the consequences of their choices. Yes it is unfortunate for them and probably more for their family members back at home that depend on them.

Last cruise coming back through Miami the drug dogs tagged me for some reason and customs searched me. They were very polite about it. They didn't search too thoroughly, I guess an older guy with wife and small kids in tow doesn't quite fit the profile.

 

Still don't know what excited those dogs.

I guess they should have read CC and get some tips on using a "rum runner".......:rolleyes:

That made me laugh out loud - my family think I'm crazy

 

Ha ha ha :-)

[gourmet guide]

I heard if you paid $35 dollars you get get as much coke as you wanted.

[NorbertsNiece]

More than 2lbs of the stuff.... we buy sugar in bags that big.... hardly purchased for personal use.... I have nothing but contempt for people who traffic in drugs.

Ha ha ha !!! My family are looking at me strangely . . . .

Whatever. Who really cares if a couple crew members did this....??:rolleyes: I wouldn't even post if this wasn't already at the top of the board.

Haven't you learned yet? It is becoming the politically correct thing around here to feel sad whenever anything bad happens to anyone for any reason while on a cruise ship.

What does a threads placement on the boards have to do with whether or not you post to a subject that you care nothing about?

Oh. :D Well my bad, OB.

Oh dude, you slay me. You say the same thing in every thread you post in. You're the comic relief around here! ALMOST.
