CBD And Weed Banned On Cruise Ships: Is It A Ploy To Boost Alcohol Sales?

Marijuana is not permitted on cruise ships, regardless of the legality of its consumption in some cruise destinations, due to federal regulations. Companies such as Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line have all taken the same stance on marijuana use. Items such as medical cannabis and drug paraphernalia containing oils and THC products are banned on onboard vessels.
