Royal Caribbean has updated its policy on guests bringing drones onto a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
Royal Caribbean states guests may bring drones on their cruise to be used on land only, and outside the port area. Drones may not be operated onboard the ship at any time, nor on Royal Caribbean’s private destinations: CocoCay, Bahamas or Labadee, Haiti.
Previously, Royal Caribbean's policy was to store the drone for guests and then allow guests to take the drones off the ship while in port.
Royal Caribbean does warn guests that if they use a drone in port, they assume full responsibility for its safe operation.
"Guests assume full responsibility for understanding all local authority rules related to drone usage and for obtaining any required permissions for drone operations. Different countries may have different rules. Any liability, including environmental damage from drone usage is the guest's responsibility. Royal Caribbean assumes no liability for guest drones that may be confiscated by local authorities for violating local laws or for any accident or injury resulting from a guest drone flight."
Thanks to Fred Block for the heads up on this change!
