Royal Caribbean passenger arrested for a scary reason
Royal Caribbean leaves no room for error when it comes to its policy on bringing firearms on board. All firearms and weapons, ammunition, explosives and incendiary devices are strictly prohibited. Firearms and weapons include, but are not limited to, the following items: Rifles Shotguns Pistols Revolvers, etc. The cruise line does not even allow pretend guns and it's very explicit there as well. All guns, replicas and ammunition include, but are not limited to, the following items:Guns, operational or replicasAmmunition of all typesBB GunsCompressed Air Guns, including Paint Ball GunsFlare GunsGun LightersGun / Firearms PartsPellet GunsSpear GunsStarter PistolsRealistic Replicas of Firearms If an item even looks like a gun, you can't bring it on a Royal Caribbean ship. That's a well-known rule, applying even to law-enforcement officers. "We do not allow any guest (including law enforcement officers on vacation) to bring weapons onboard our vessel," the company website makes clear. "Law enforcement officers need to understand that they will be boarding a foreign flag vessel going to foreign countries. All weapons should be left at home, locked up in a vehicle if they are driving to the port, or turned over to a local office of Customs, police, FBI, etc. for safekeeping during the voyage." That did not stop one passenger from violating that rule, and the Facebook personality Jayson Judson had the full story. . A cruise passenger on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas has been arrested and faces up to a $3,000 fine and possible jail time as he was caught boarding the ship in Aruba with a firearm. Many are left wondering: Did he have the firearm the previous four days on the ship? And if so, how did screening and port security in Fort Lauderdale miss the firearm when they routinely catch passengers with clothes steamers? What do you think? @PamelaGreen2073 summed up what most people were thinking. "Scary," she wrote. Some doubted that the gun could have been brought on and off the ship. "Seems unlikely it was on the ship prior to Aruba. Probably obtained in Aruba," @DeniseG-nl20 posted. @HelenandRidge1980 was shocked that this could happen. "Wow, somebody didn't do their job, most of the times you feel safe," they wrote. Others wondered how this could have been missed (which suggests it wasn't and that the gun was brought on in Aruba. "When they routinely catch passengers with clothes steamers," @GingerWond1982 repeated.

Video: Fire breaks out on Carnival Cruise Line ship
Cruise lines ban many items because they might cause a fire. You can't bring an iron, coffee maker, toaster, and most items with heating elements because they can cause a fire. In addition, you're allowed to bring only small lighters (not a torch) for your cigarettes and cigars, while candles are completely outlawed. Rules vary by cruise line, but fire risk is the basis for rules about which kinds of power strips and outlet extenders you can bring onboard. Royal Caribbean's rules are the strictest, allowing only USB and USB-C extenders and prohibiting devices that give you more plugs. Every cruise line also has strict rules regardingsmoking. Cruise ships set aside only limited spaces where smoking is allowed. Generally, that means one or two outdoor deck spaces and, on some cruise lines, in parts of the casinos while smokers are actively gambling. Cruise lines take every step to prevent fires, but one recently broke out on Carnival Glory. Jayson Judson has the full story on his Facebook page.A fire broke out on a balcony on the Carnival Glory that was put out immediately by crew members. The passengers said they were in their cabin and noticed the balcony chair with a towel on it became engulfed in flames, and they started to panic. The three passengers were taken to the medical center, where they were interrogated as to what happened, and they were threatened if they didn't tell the truth, they would contact the FBI. The passengers said they were shaken up by the entire incident and just wanted to be treated with some kindness and respect. What do you think? . Most people who commented on the post were sympathetic to the people in the cabin. "I heard they checked their bags, had no cigarettes, and had no lighters. It obviously came from a cigarette from another balcony blown onto their balcony. Thank god they were in their cabin," wrote @bigguy1443. @StaneyReynolds2916 agreed with that assessment. "Thinking someone on another balcony was smoking and flicked the butt over the side and embers flew onto this balcony and started a fire. Cameras should help as to what happened. If I were them, I would tell them to bring the FBI," they wrote. Many pointed out that the cruise line does not allow people to hang towels on their balcony. "Fire is the biggest threat to a ship!" posted Dolores Perricone. "Unlikely that the towel spontaneously ignited and burst into flames. Someone had to have sparked the fire. Even if it was from another balcony, however, this is one of the reasons for the prohibition of hanging clothes on the balcony."
