Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise lines call it a safety threat. And if you do it, you could be paying for damage to the entire deck before security comes knocking.

In 2023, Melinda Vanved Husen, a 42-year-old nurse and mom, had CBD gummies in her bag. Carnival denied her boarding. She lost her entire vacation fair and was banned for life.

If your feet leave the deck, you're done.

The ship legally cannot sail until every passenger is checked in. There was this one time when a couple on Silver Sea refused to attend. The captain literally turned the ship around, went back to port, and kicked them off.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Never prop your balcony door and cabin door open at the same time.
✓Do not bring CBD products onboard; they are prohibited under federal jurisdiction.
✓Never sit, stand, or lean on your cruise balcony railing.
✓Always attend the muster drill; the ship cannot sail without full passenger check-in.
✓Do not throw anything overboard; it is illegal and can trigger a man-overboard alarm.

Propping balcony door open for fresh air — Never do it; it creates a wind tunnel and is monitored by the bridge.
Bringing CBD products for sleep or pain — Do not bring them; cruise terminals are federal jurisdiction, and state law does not apply.
Skipping the muster drill — Always attend; the ship legally cannot sail without full passenger check-in.
