Firearms On Cruise Ships

Besides belts with solid metal buckles are allowed and can be a potential weapon.

Firearms on cruise ships. Its unclear if McNeill-Skorupan was planning to bring the gun on her cruise since Celebrity Cruises bans passengers from taking firearms on board. Taking a gun on a cruise may also violate maritime law as well as the laws in the ports you visit. However the only lines that Im aware of that have weapons onboard are Italian flagged vessels.

We are aware that some law enforcement officials are required to travel with their weapon when traveling domestically. All firearms including replicas imitations non-firing weapons starting pistols and their components. We have written about the dangerous current set of affairs where some cruise ships are sailing into Somali pirate infested waters where the few security guards had to use fake wooden rifles.

If you take it see if the Port Police or LAPD will lock it up for you until you get back. A Celebrity Cruises passenger from Wisconsin faces up to 10 years in a Cayman Islands prison after a gun and six rounds of ammunition were found in her luggage the Milwaukee Journal. The IMO does not even recommend that cruise ships have guns.

Only those looking to get violated in various ways have taken to the seas without weapons for the last few thousand years. Im retired law enforcement and had a similar situation. Guns are not allowed with or without a concealed carry permit.

Cruise ships are perfectly safe in my opinion as is Disney but bad things can happen. So you will be unarmed while traveling to and from your cruise. As a general rule of thumb the easiest way to avoid any legal problems with carrying a firearm on board a vessel does not have a firearm on a vessel.

So if you had in mind can you take a can of mace on board the answer on most cruise lines is a strict no. The answer is no - its on the DCL website. As stated dont take your gun aboard the ship and Mexico will throw you into one of their famous prisons if they find it.
