🚨 MA*****NA POLICY – PLEASE READ 🚨
Carnival Cruise lines, just fyi
I’ve been getting a lot of private messages asking the same question:
“Is ma*****na or ma*****na products allowed on Carnival Cruise ships?”
Because of that, I wanted to address it all in one place so there’s no confusion.
❌ The short answer:
NO. Ma*****na, gummies, ma*****na vapes — NONE of it is allowed on Carnival Cruise Line. This INCLUDES for medical purposes.

They have a ZERO tolerance policy.
⸻
🐕 IMPORTANT: Canine detection dogs are now in use, and you WILL GET CAUGHT. The dogs are now being used:
* At embarkation (when you board)
* At ports of call
* On board the ship throughout the voyage
This has changed everything.
⸻
🚫 What happens if you get caught?
AT EMBARKATION (boarding the ship at home port):
* You will be denied boarding
* Possible criminal charges (embarkation ports are federal land, where ma*****na is still illegal.) ve
* You could be banned for life from Carnival
AT A PORT OF CALL (re-boarding in a foreign country):
* You will be denied re-boarding
* Possible criminal charges in that country
* You are responsible for getting yourself home at your own expense
* Possible lifetime ban from Carnival
On board (during the cruise):
* Security will search your cabin
* If anything is found:
* You will be confined (quarantined) to your cabin
* You will be removed from the ship at the next port
* Possible lifetime ban from Carnival
👉 There are NO exceptions anymore.
⸻
🤔 “But people say they sneak it on…”
Yes, you’ll always see comments from people saying they’ve done it and didn’t get caught.
That may be true — just like anything else, some people get away with things.
But ask yourself:
👉 Is it worth ruining your entire vacation?
👉 Is it worth being stranded in another country and paying your own way home?
With canine dogs actively searching every day, your chances of getting caught are higher than ever.
⸻
⚖️ Why is ma*****na not allowed?
There are several important reasons:
1. Federal & international laws
Even if it’s legal in your state, ma*****na is still illegal under federal law and in international waters.
2. Foreign country laws
Many ports Carnival visits have strict drug laws, some with severe penalties.
3. Guest comfort
Not all guests want to smell ma*****na — Carnival aims to keep the environment enjoyable for everyone.
4. Safety & liability
Cruise lines must maintain a safe, controlled environment onboard.
5. Port security agreements
Cruise lines must comply with agreements and regulations from multiple countries and port authorities.
⸻
⚠️ Final word
Do NOT risk your cruise.
Do NOT try to sneak ma*****na, gummies, or vapes on board.
It’s simply not worth:
* Losing your vacation
* Facing criminal charges
* Paying your own way home
* Being banned for life
🚢 Play it safe, follow the rules, and enjoy your cruise stress-free.
NOTE: This post is for informational purposes, and is accurate. 
I know lots of you disagree with this policy. But it is the policy. You’re more than welcome to comment on what you think of this policy… But any post that suggest people can bring ma*****na on board, will be removed. And, you could even be removed from our group.
And remember, be nice!
