Spring Break Cruise Plans?

Posted by Scott Markowitz | Mar 04, 2026 | 0 Comments

🚢🌴 Watch the Cannabis Laws. 🌴🚢

Thinking about bringing cannabis on your spring break cruise? Think twice. Even if marijuana is legal in certain states, cruise ships operate under federal law and often international maritime law. Possession can lead to serious consequences — including fines, removal from the ship, federal charges, or being banned from the cruise line. ⚖️🚫

Ports in places like Galveston and throughout Texas strictly enforce these laws. What may seem minor on land can quickly become a major legal issue at sea.
