Creator's Key Takeaways
Enforcement is now consistent across all ports. Security is no longer just letting it slide.
In 2026, this enforcement is noticeably stricter. Even those small personal speakers are being flagged more often.
The country's law always overrides a cruise line policy.
If Mexico is on your 2026 itinerary, double check before you pack any vaping devices.
