Boarding Info

Do they Xray checked baggage upon boarding or do a physical search?

They xray baggage and in most ports you get to walk through a metal detector. Probably depends more on country of embarkation. Not like the airport but they are very careful about who gets on board which is fine with me.

In St Martin they took our main luggage away so I have no idea what happened with it. Our carry on luggage went through an X-ray machine and we went through one as well. We had two bottles of wine in our carry on plus a metal water bottle. They hand searched our luggage because of that.

Your carry-on items go through an x-ray scanner. Passengers are not x-rayed. They go through a metal detector.

So if you were to have 2 bottles of wine in your carry-on & have 2 more in your packed luggage (per person)...would they know? Not that I would sneak on extra wine.;)

No idea if they would know. Worst that can happen is that they get confiscated and returned to you on disembarcation day.

Too bad you cant returned the empties and they give you back the other 2.:D

We have cruised Windstar twice out of Barbados. Both times we have had bottles of rum in our luggage which we purchased as presents to take home. Never queried.

 

Our hand luggage was never scanned, we just walked onto the ship. No worries as we had the beverage package so no need to take alcohol on board.
