Can You Bring a Drone on a Cruise Ship?
The Answer is: Yes, but with Some Exceptions
Depending on the Cruise Line
As a Carnival spokesperson said, "It is the responsibility of the guest to ensure that the port allows drone cameras and to obtain the necessary permits. Even in cases where drones are allowed, cruisers cannot fly them from the ship. They are for use in port only, and cruisers are responsible for following all applicable laws and regulations."
While permission to bring drones aboard cruise ships varies by cruise line, there are a few general rules:
- No drones are allowed in the Caribbean.
- Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean allow drones in select ports.
- Guests are responsible for obtaining any necessary permits from the port authorities.
- Drones cannot be flown from the ship.
- Drones must be flown in a safe and responsible manner.
If you are planning on bringing a drone on your cruise, be sure to check with the cruise line first to make sure it is allowed. And even if it is allowed, be sure to follow all of the applicable rules and regulations. Otherwise, you could face fines or other penalties.
