Louisiana Cruise Guests Warned - Don't Wear This, It's Illegal

preview

We are on the cusp of the summer cruise season across the Gulf South. Ports such as New Orleans, Louisiana, Galveston, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama are gearing up to welcome hundreds of thousands of cruise guests to their cities for embarkation and debarkation events.
Cruises are a popular vacation choice for a lot of us in Louisiana but there is one staple of our Louisiana lifestyle that is just not a good idea to bring on a cruise vessel.
As a veteran of several dozen cruises, I have been blessed to set foot on six of our planet's seven continents. One of these days we will make it to Antarctica but we have set foot in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and Africa. One thing I have learned is that each port brings its own unique set of challenges.
However, the one challenge no Louisiana cruise guest wants to face is a confrontation with local law enforcement. Unfortunately, an article of clothing that is very popular in Louisiana could be your ticket to trouble should you decide to wear that article of clothing while on shore.
The cruise destinations that will give you grief, and by grief I mean they could arrest you are Barbados, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia. Please note that it is not the cruise lines that are preventing you from bringing and even wearing these garments, it is the actual governments of those Caribbean nations.
No, it's not a Speedo. We wish it was, but it's not.
Remember it's not an issue if you wear the garments on board it's only an issue when you get off the ship wearing camouflage. Yeah, the same clothing that we wear into the woods, to Walmart, and weddings in Louisiana can earn you a trip to jail in some Caribbean nations.
The reason why camouflage is frowned upon, that's a nice way to say it's against the law, is the governments of Barbados, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia only want their military to be wearing camouflage.
According to the Royal Caribbean website, it is highly unlikely that you'll be arrested or taken to jail over your camo clothing but it will likely be confiscated and you'll be assessed a fine. The amount of that fine will vary depending on the entity making the arrest.
You should note that the ban on camouflage clothing applies to all styles, colors, and patterns. Most cruise line representatives simply suggest that you leave it at home. Even the underwear and socks should be left back in Louisiana unless you want to pay a fine of a few bucks, maybe a few hundred bucks, just to wear them.
Here's a list of other items you want to leave at home should you be heading out on a cruise this summer. It's a pretty long list but it's a list that can make your cruise a lot more enjoyable if you know what's on it.
When you find a good Cajun man there's nothing better right? And as we all know, when you find that good Cajun man, there's always a good Cajun woman who helped make him that way.
