Review summary

Cruise was fantastic! Just getting off the ship and being racial profiled again was bad. Will be filing a complaint and if happens again getting an attorney and file lawsuit.

Customs pulled us to the side, this has happened before and when you ask them, they say they pick random people to check. This is the second time this has happened having a black person with me. Feel racial profiled and harassment for nothing. Of course they found nothing illegal once again. One time on Norwegian Cruise line and now Royal Carribean.

Let’s hope it wasn’t racially motivated. But the cruise line has no control over Customs. Glad the cruise went well.

It could be how someone is dressed or the type of bags your carrying , vs race. They couldn't stop every black person coming off the ships... and every customs official wouldnt be racially profiling... since you said it has happened on two different cruise lines... meaning two different terminals. 🙄 I see people stopped at customs off every cruise... typically its people with a lot of luggage/bags.

The best experience ever! Royal the Caribbean is one of the best cruise, it has amazing employees, great pool, good food. I visited the island of Coco Cay, I wish I can visit the island every summer.

Very fun cruise

Love Indy, it’s our 2nd time sailing on her. Just the right size of ship!
