Hi Kevin, You are mistaken as I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Anyone that sails from LA can see the screening area out on the cruise pier. You can see the screening machines and see them screening each and every bag before it is cleared to the ship. I have also watched the bomb sniffing dogs check not only the bags but all of the stores (food stuffs) before it is loaded. Yes, the cruise lines are quite serious about checking baggage. That being said, liquor is the least of their concerns in checked bags. I have never heard of them confiscating liquor from a checked bag. I hope someone will tell us if they have seen this happen. The cruise lines are checking hand carried bags as many on r.t.cruises can attest. Some cruise lines confiscate liquor and some don't. It often seems inconsistent whether a cruise line will or won't confiscate the liquor. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com I stand corrected. I knew the dogs sniffed everything out, but I did not think they would have enough time to open and search every piece of luggage that went on the ship. That would not be a fun job. |

That would not be a fun job. :+( Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com |
