Firearms On Cruise Ships
We are aware that some law enforcement officials are required to travel with their weapon when traveling domestically.
Firearms on cruise ships. As stated dont take your gun aboard the ship and Mexico will throw you into one of their famous prisons if they find it. Knives are no longer allowed even if under 4 inches. Any other projectile-weapon or item that resembles or can be mistaken as a firearm eg paint ball guns 5.
Update Carnival has revised their policy. Most major cruise lines do not allow passengers to bring firearms on board. A Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile packs a 450kg high explosive warhead has a range in.
This however is only true in international waters. Im retired law enforcement and had a similar situation. For the safety of our Guests Disney Cruise Line has a Zero Weapons Policy.
I can state unquivocally that firearms are not permitted on any ship. There is a security plan with weapons. Only those looking to get violated in various ways have taken to the seas without weapons for the last few thousand years.
If you take it see if the Port Police or LAPD will lock it up for you until you get back. 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 have a pocket knife that you carry everywhere you can actually bring it with you on the cruise.
So you will be unarmed while traveling to and from your cruise. Its also illegal to have a firearm in your vehicle so you cant part at the port with one even securely encased in your car. The international Maritime Organization IMO has no authority to regulate the use of guns on these foreign flagged ship.
