Yuriaa Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hey there, I am going on Radiance of the Seas cruise in a months time from Australia to New Zealand. I used to smoke and now i vape (juul). I am of age but am travelling with my parents and would rather not explain to them. If i bring it with my carry on will they check? Or will it go off in the metal detection? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 It should go in your carry on like a cell phone. If you keep it in a pocket you will set off the metal detector but if you bring a carry on bag it can go in the bag like you would with a camera, cell phone, car keys, etc. Vaping is restricted to smoking areas if I recall correctly.

Spang1974 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 On my recent check-in from Cape Liberty they were taking all e-cigs out of carry on luggage and asking the question about it contents (did it contain cannabis, etc).

Yes this is correct but folks seem to believe vaping isn't smoking so you will see it pretty much everywhere. Pool deck chairs, stairwells etc. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuriaa Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Thanks for the responses, is there any chance they'll take it out of my carry on to question it in front of my parents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say there's always a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally a chance of that happening. They removed everyone's on my departure from Cape Liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose City Cruiser Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 If possible, try to use a different security check than your parents for "efficiency" Woody, RWDW1204 and PRebecca 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuriaa Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 What about if i put it into my luggage instead of my carry on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, there's a pretty good chance it'll get flagged during x-ray and either you or your parents will be asked to come down and open the bag in the security room...

USCG Teacher Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 2 hours ago, Yuriaa said: Oh i'm screwed if that happens... How often has this happened in the past? Whenever anything "of interest" is seen. Generally speaking it's stuff that people didn't think about not being allowed on board (surge protectors, irons, etc.). Sometimes it's stuff people are trying to sneak on board (booze, in particular). Most of the time it's no big deal, you either explain what it is, they clear it and you're on your way or they inform you it's prohibited and return it at the end of the cruise. In your particular instance, even if security viewed it as no big deal, there seem to be bigger consequences at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I'd pack it in my suitcase and make sure that my name was on the luggage tag. That way it will be you that gets called down to the security room I think.

DDaley Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 We walked right on Freedom with a Cannabis vape in our carryon and no one seemed to notice or care. That was from San Juan, possibly they're just as lax down under? Yours isn't even illegal and you're of age! I doubt you'll be stopped.
