TOURIST FACES A DECADE IN PRISON FOR MISTAKE (Popular Cruise Line Headed to Same Island)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- We talk through a NEW LAW affecting Tourists to a popular Caribbean Island Destination and whether cruisers onboard their caribbean cruises will be affected. This law used to lead to some tourists losing money in fines or fees, but now is punishable up to 12 years in prison! Number one way to save money is not having to pay any fines or fees while on vacation but this mistake will likely lead to something worse than losing money, over a decade in a Caribbean Prison. Well now, a popular cruise line is changing her cruise itineraries to this same Caribbean island cruise port. Are cruise passengers and tourists easy targets as travelers? Should you read about other countries laws prior to international travel? Should you take the word of fellow cruisers onboard cruise ships? Should you experience the local customs and culture while in another country as a tourist? What do you do when you don’t know the language when traveling to another country? Is international travel safe? This is the latest cruise news in tandem across the cruise industry where all cruise lines are making cruise cutbacks for cruise passengers onboard cruise ships during 2024 and we were surprised by what new law is affecting Caribbean tourists while traveling to the Caribbean! What do cruise ships do with passengers who are not aware of their surroundings while at sea? How do Cruise Ship Crew handle these naive cruise passengers? Are cruise ship passengers okay with cruise lines going to unique cruise ports and experiencing local cultures? We talk through verified experiences of Travelers getting arrested and this could happen to you while preparing for your vacation or onboard Cruise Ships including the worlds largest cruise ship Icon of the Seas or soon to be Star of the Seas 2025, and even the worlds smallest cruise ships. This could happen on any Caribbean vacation but unlikely to happen onboard many cruise ships whether on the Worlds Biggest Cruise Ship Class; or, the Smallest Cruise Ship Class and every Cruise Ship in between. What are your thoughts in our inside cruise chat on the new law affecting Caribbean tourists on their Caribbean Vacation 2024?

My husband was in Law Enforcement, and when he took a road trip to Canada, he stopped at the US law enforcement agency nearest to the border and had them hold his firearms and ammo for him until his return.
Im sorry, but failing to secure ammunition after using it is criminal. Maybe not 12 years criminal, but still a criminal act. Not a 'mistake'.
It seems very harsh. Too bad TSA didn’t catch it.
How did their bags get through security at the departing airport? Did they not scan the bags? Ammo would show up on the scan. Even with no weapon, ammo is not allowed.
I don't buy his story. After a hunting trip you clean your gun and secure all ammunition. How do you not notice ammunition in your luggage. He was irresponsible. We are guests in these countries and it is our job to obey their laws.
Perhaps he's one of the irresponsible people that should not have been allowed to use a gun.
Agreed. I don't own guns, but I can tell you when I return from ANY trip and unpack I scour my luggage, every nook and cranny, for anything I might have missed. If this guy had loose bullets rolling around a duffle or back pack he is a fool. If a baggie of bullets he is dangerous. But if a box of bullets, he deserves what he gets. You do NOT make those kind of mistakes as a gun owner. Period. End of conversation. Just like wearing camo, if you are traveling to other countries know the laws.
JJ Cruise and other vloggers are insisting this was a mistake, an oversight, but if he was a responsible gun owner, he would have his ammo stored carefully and locked in a case with his weapon...not loose in a suitcase.
Totally agree just can't believe his story. you traveling out of the country make sure of the laws of that country. my question is if he flew how did he get it on board the plain
Things get through security all time that should not. I accidentally left giant scissors in my purse that I meant to leave with my friend that took me to the airport. Totally forgot they were in my purse!
It's an error what would his motive to bring a few rounds to a foreign country. Why wasn't it caught at a previous check?
While I feel sorry for them, I feel that he was an irresponsible gun owner. Who keeps loose ammunition leftover in their luggage. What if their kids had gotten hold of the ammunition at home.
Yes! I have to say while I am sympathetic, I am not that sympathetic because regardless of where you are you should handle your guns and ammunition very carefully-locked in a safe when not in use - forgetting you have ammunition in your luggage is incredibly irresponsible in my opinion. Granted I do not and never have owned a firearm or ammunition of any kind so I don’t have a clue what normal protocol is. My only exposure to firearms is that one time the had a riflery at summer camp, but even then I opted for horseback riding. 🤷🏻♀️
Others are reporting that the ‘minimum Sentence’ is 12 years……..What a nightmare!😳😳😳
There’s a Royal Caribbean cruiser who also got arrested couple of days ago. How did his bullets make it through Royal Caribbean security??
Some Caribbean and Central American countries outlaw any camouflage clothing or equipment.
Man, we are way too casual with our firearms and ammo in the US. Some mistakes are criminal.
It's always "an accident" or "unintentional" when one gets caught breaking the law. It's shocking for some folks to some to hear of a country that actually enforces their laws. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The value of Personal Responsibility cannot be overstated. He will probably have 12 years to ponder a better choice of hobbies.
Everyone has to be responsible for their action. If he really is too stupid to not know the ammunition was in his luggage then he has to be responsible. But truthfully I don’t believe him. With all the publicity on arrests and punishments in foreign countries for similar incidents he and/or his wife should have checked when packing. And that is my opinion.
If you go to another country and break their law then sorry! You should have read the Bi laws. Guns and ammo is nuts here!
I hate to say this, but don't become a cautionary tale. If I have to start wrapping my luggage in plastic, like people had to do because of a bullet scam in the Phillipines, I'm not going to travel there. "There but by the grace of God go I."
Sounds like the many U.S. tourists that show up at the Canadian border with firearms and then claim either “whoops, forgot,” or “it’s my right.”
Stupid is as stupid does.. simple.
How did the ammunition get through the airport security in the first place ?
Good question! Though we know firearms and explosives are what they tend to look for most.
There may not have been a flight at all; one can drive to the Port, if you live close enough to drive there.
Stop saying it was a mistake. That is what he is claiming. He has a cavalier attitude towards gun ownership and responsibility. Leaving ammunition in a bag???? You are leaving the country and you will no longer be protected by US laws. You need to be careful about what you have in your luggage. You need to be informed about areas you are traveling to. Example, there are some Caribbean islands that don’t allow tourists to wear camouflage clothing.
How did they get through TSA?????
There are constantly stories in the new about illicit items in baggage found at TSA or immigration,/customs and I for the life of me, can understand how people don't know what is in their luggage. I am going on a trip this week, and I empty the luggage either after or before trips to have a blank space to fill. So if someone claims "i didn't know that was in there" or whatever, I am unsimpathetic. And why would anyone need to bring firearms and/or ammunition on a vacation? What kind of vacay are they expecting?
So the government won’t get involved if you break the law in another country? I remember Brittney Griner, and didn’t the government get involved? Or am I mistaken?
One quick glance at this guy and you will see why he doesn't qualify for assistance from the US government.
I'm really trying to figure out, if you're packing for a vacation and knowing you also use that when hunting, how you are not being responsible and checking every part of that luggage. With all the violence that takes place people could be planning anything which is why I think they are being so strict. I don't think a long sentence is the right way for this situation.
Each passenger is responsible for knowing what they can and cannot do on every port of call. It is up to the passenger to conform and ensure that they meet the requirements and take any responsibility for breaking a law. The US is one of the few countries in the world where gun ownership is widespread and many countries take a very dim view of transporting either weapons or ammunition across their border. Any responsible traveller would ensure that all firearms and ammunition is safely stored at home prior to leaving and taking the time to ensure that they know where they are going, understand what they can or cannot do and make sure that they conform. It is sad, but it is also the reality of the modern world. Information is easy to obtain and to take a few hours to acquaint oneself with the requirements of their destination is not too much to ask.
This also happend with a Carnival Sunrise passenger on 4/23/2024.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Always loved Grand Turk! Jack's Shack always a great spot!
There's nothing to film on that ship- It shouldn't be in service!!! Nothing fancy or special about that Old Ship!!!
A mistake, or a PRIVILEGED person, who luck finally ran out on non American soil?
I have been to Turks and Caicos, as a HAL traveler. I plan to go back next year, but hope it's not too crowded!
I can't believe that guy didn't notice the extra weight when he packed that backpack!
Sorry, but it is not up to anyone other than the citizens of the Turks and Caicos whether the law is right or wrong. Just because guns are a way of life in the USA does not mean that is the case anywhere else. USA law stops at their borders. Responsible users of firearms keep track of every piece of ammo. If all it took was saying they didn't realise the bullets, or for that matter, a gun, was in their luggage or pocket, then many more people would attempt to take ammo or guns into the country, then say, ' ooops, I didn't know'. Strange how some people in the USA are so upset about this but don't say a word in defence of any Canadian who is caught at the USA border with the slightest bit of cannabis, even though it is legal in Canada. Chimo
Mistake. He is an adult and to say ‘I forgot or didn’t know’. A little too easy. He deserves his situation and repercussion. Also. How do we know what really would have happened Because you are a tourist does not absolve you of this type of egregious behavior.
Oh please. He deserves 12 years in prison because he forgot and left bullets in his bag?? No gun. Was he going to throw the bullets? Use a straw and spit-ball them?
Who knows what would have happened? Tell us the horrible things that could have happened with bullets and no gun.
You deserve to be in prison for your silly comment.
@@mickeytollisonsell it to the underground there? He just would be a “mule”
So this ammunition got pass the TSA agents in the US, before their flight to Turks and Caicos.
Owning a gun is a responsibility. Fin.
Too bad it wasn't picked up on airport xray!! What the heck?
Yikes! What a terrible mistake to make! But yes, one must follow local laws when traveling. It's one of the crucial parts of traveling. Thanks for the heads up and warning (not that this would happen to me). Not that I'm really going to miss Labadee, since it's not really Haiti, but it's an opportunity to visit somewhere RCCL doesn't usually go, like you said! Another great, informative video!
It’s irresponsible but 12 years for ammunition it’s a little too harsh.
They send me a email i was suppost to go there in july and they change to turk and caicos
Love the grandeur when she was in Baltimore!
Being from Texas we were grilled at the US-Canada Niagara Falls border about possibly having left ammo or weapons in our vehicle. Had to inform the officer that not everyone from Texas is a gun toting paranoid psycho. He just let us in, no search or anything but amazing what is thought of us Texans. Even not being in violation I would prefer avoiding ports with such harsh punishments for stupid mistakes.
If I pack a backpack for the day, I empty it just to lighten it! Can’t believe he didn’t notice the weight when packing for the day.
Well at least this is one thing I don’t need to worry about, because I don’t have any firearms. I feel bad for the guy, but also he did bring ammunition. Hopefully he will just get a token sentence and a fine. Given that it was just ammunition I personally feel he should just get a few nights and a large fine, but I am certainly not an expert.
This why I double check my luggage... and my partner's luggage. Sad but necessary at my house.
The law is the law. So I am with T&C. He may get a reduce sentence, but I am still not understanding how he didn't go thru his bag before packing; knowing full well he had use it previously and ammunition was in it.
Seriously - you don't go through your luggage before you start repacking. !!!
" How did it get through TSA with everything going on in the World right now" ?! It sound like a Set Up to me !!
Thanks for sharing this . God bless you guys .
If it were a setup, he wouldn't have that ready-made excuse
I think he flew. He was not on a cruise.
Turks & Caicos is my favorite island !!
That's a really sad situation with the couple who ended up in jail. You just have to check every single area of your baggage to be sure you ok to travel, especially to another country.
One of the nicest port in the Caribbean, we just get out of the ship and go to the beach!
Is there a site to find out what's what for different places? Thanks. ❓👍😎⚓🚢 I'm in fl and go to a lot of royal Caribbean Caribbean destinations and Mexico. The pharmacies have me confused❓❓🙋♀️
Travel.state.gov
Oh my ! What a nightmare.
💔
Omg. Terrible. But the only thing is when packing, how didn’t they see that ammunition was still in the bag? Lesson to us to check all pockets and zippered compartments. Hopefully the judge will have a heart and hear his circumstance, make note there’s no firearm and only give a monetary fine. If the judge has to sentence give him time served for the time he was there before bail. and let this man go home.
Sure hope this guy is spared the maximum sentence.
How was the ammo discovered and what use is the cruise line’s security if the ammo wasn’t discovered during embarkation. This does not make any sense. Check your sources.
Roger, as said in the video, this wasn’t a cruise passenger. It was someone who flew directly there. I also mention at the end of the video that the good news is that cruisers would most likely be caught well before given cruise ship security at embarkation. ☺️

@@JJCruise thanks for the clarification. Sorry for the confusion. So glad this wasn’t cruise related. Stupid and careless people do stupid things everyday. No big deal.
I think they should let him go, maybe ban him from being able to visit the country again! It was just ammunition not a gun.
