Review summary

The cruise overall was fun. We just had an issue embarking. Apparently the search dogs need more training on sniffing bags. Or the police need more training. Dogs smelled people's bags next to me and stopped but my bags were taken in to be searched. About 5 other back groups and couples were searched while we waited. Contacts, deodorant, toothbrush, lipsticks etc were contaminated after

Embarkation

Terrible- searched and disrespected police dogs can't do their jobs properly nor the police handling them. All black people being searched. Found nothing.

Our cabin was perfect for us. We used the room to sleep which is what it's for. Bed a little uncomfortable.

So you believe the police dogs are racist and alert on black people's bags? Very odd review.

If you were targeted because you're black, that's horrible and totally unacceptable! However, I believe the officers and canines are port authorities and not employed by the cruiseline.

“Pulled out of your room half naked?” Find that hard to believe.
