Hey guys going on a Carnival cruise on Sunday.
Was hoping someone could fill me in on their security procedures for check-in and what their viewpoint on vaping is.
I have never been on one before and want to know if I am still good or if I should bring my stealth set-up only.
Security just check for booze and weapons. Last year at this time they were opening all pop and water case and checking individual cans. Made the line up about 2 hrs long. Your gear and juice are fine as long as you are taking small bottles. Pack them with your toiletries.
The rules have changed since my last cruise on them.
