Breaking News: Two Norwegian Cruise Line Passengers Caught with Over 100 Bags of Marijuana Banned from Future Voyages
In a shocking turn of events, two passengers aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship have been arrested after authorities discovered over 100 bags of marijuana in their possession. The incident occurred during a routine security check when the ship docked at a port of call. Authorities did not release the names of the passengers but confirmed that they were immediately detained by local law enforcement.
The cruise, which was traveling through the Caribbean, had just completed a stop at a popular tourist destination when the illegal drugs were found. The couple, who were reportedly acting suspiciously during the search, had concealed the bags in their personal belongings. According to cruise officials, the marijuana was found in multiple locations, including inside luggage and hidden within clothing.
Following the discovery, the passengers were handed over to local police for further investigation and legal proceedings. Norwegian Cruise Line, which has a strict no-tolerance policy regarding illegal drugs, confirmed that both individuals have been banned from all future voyages with the company. “This behavior is in direct violation of our policies, and we are committed to ensuring the safety and security of all guests aboard our ships,” said a spokesperson for the cruise line.
The passengers are now facing serious legal consequences, as marijuana possession remains illegal in many of the regions the cruise traveled through. The authorities have yet to disclose whether the individuals will face charges under local drug laws or if they will be extradited to face charges in their home country.
While this incident has raised concerns about security, Norwegian Cruise Line reassured its customers that all efforts are being made to enhance screening procedures and ensure a safe environment for everyone aboard. The company has also pledged to cooperate fully with authorities in the investigation.
