My wife and I are cleaning up in the kitchen after putting the kids to bed when all of a sudden we hear this unholy voice emanating from nowhere. We look at each other and sprint upstairs thinking someone’s hacked our devices and talking to our kids. We get upstairs and ask our kid what that voice was??? Lil **** was talking weird through the vents. Haha. Didn’t even think anything of it-just liked the sound of it.

My wife and I just booked our first ever cruise.

I'm not a fan of crowds which is why I've never done it before but I gotta at least try one to see what all the fuss is about. 

Hopefully i can still relax a little while aboard ship.

 

A lawyer warns of a legal nightmare you can face on a ship

 

While some of the biggest cruise lines base their headquarters in the United States, their passengers can be exposed to legal systems that don't provide the same protections they would find in the US, Jim Walker, a lawyer who specializes in cases involving cruise-line employees and passengers, told Business Insider.

 

"Cruise passengers have, really, no rights that they could enjoy in the US," he said.

 

Cruise ship passengers often sign contracts that allow cruise ship personnel to search their rooms for any reason, Walker said, and cruise ship itineraries can put passengers under the jurisdictions of legal systems that may be unfamiliar to American citizens.

 

"While precise security details for each vessel are confidential and vary based on size, configuration, passenger demographics and other factors, cruise lines have experienced, well-trained security staffs and protocols in place to protect passengers and crew, including closed-circuit cameras to monitor ship activity," said a representative for the Cruise Lines International Association, a trade association for the cruise industry.

 

When a cruise ship docks at a port, its passengers are subject to the laws of the country in which the port is located. The latter can lead to warrantless searches from local police, the most common of which involve marijuana possession.

 

If, for example, a passenger smells marijuana in another cabin and reports it to ship personnel, the complaint may be forwarded to the ship's security department, which may alert local police at the ship's next destination. Once the ship arrives at that destination, the local police may search the room in question without a warrant. If the local officials find even a small amount of marijuana, the passenger may face an ultimatum: pay a fine or spend time in jail, Walker said.

 

This scenario happens most often in Bermuda and the Bahamas, according to Walker.

 

"This happens so frequently, and there's nothing anybody can do for them. There's no right to hire a local attorney or consult with an attorney when you're in Nassau," he said.

Luckily I'll be on one of the better cruise lines and be in the Baltic sea so hopefully this wont happen to us.

Also I don't smoke pot and wont have anything in my room that would be incriminating. 

I don't like the thought of having my personal space invaded but I'm also of the belief that people who have nothing to hide, hide nothing and I have nothing to hide.
