A Wisconsin cruise ship passenger faces years in Cayman Islands prison after a gun was found in her luggage
This just happened (yesterday). If you are a frequent "cruiser" or you plan to go on a cruise ship it's VERY important you understand a few things. Once you leave the territorial waters of the USA you are no longer protected (legally) by it's laws. When you arrive at a destination, you are now under their law. Their police can come aboard your ship and search ANY cabin at any time and there is nothing you can do about it. You now fall under their laws which may not include the right to an attorney and may include mandatory prison time for certain offences.
DO NOT brings guns or drugs (yes even "mary jane") on a cruise ship! The risk is not worth it. If you have a "carry permit" for a hand gun - it is worthless outside of the USA. And that's what happen to the 68-year-old Madison, Wisconsin, woman

Another note, law enforcement and government on some of these islands can be very corrupt also. I nearly had an issue in Jamaica over an old license plate I purchased from an outdoor vendor at Montego Bay.
