Our home is all about the views that are captured throughout with the house needing to pay homage to its setting. Having a few builds and renovationsunder our belt and both being time poor, we recognised we needed help to deliver on the potential of the house. Bringing refinement to timeless design, House of Ivory spaces have a considered classic-meets-contemporary aesthetic and immersive liveability. Each collaborative journey combines our vision and your needs to craft your dream space. Instrumental in moving the village forward with projects like the building of Westwood Town Hall, his accomplishments as a community leader parallel his success as an inventor and businessman. The bigger problem, however, is the fact that this structure was not even built by King Ahab.

The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe. Our goal at EstateSales.org is to provide the industry with reference information that will educate new businesses, provide professional tips to existing ones and open the communication lines between the industry professionals. When in doubt or you have found yourself in a gray area, don’t sell the item. In this day and age when everyone is watching everyone, exercise caution by first doing your due diligence, then making an educated decision. Online platforms have additional policies one must abide by that go above and beyond federal, state, and local regulations.

Certificates, dated photos, letters or documents proving that the item was lawfully imported prior to January 18, 1990 if it’s African Ivory, and July 1, 1975 for Asian Ivory. There are a few things you must do first to make sure you are protected and properly abiding by the law at the federal, state, and local levels. Personal possession is OK, because a family heirloom can pass down within the family. This also applies if you have a vintage musical instrument that has ivory pieces or components. “Ye that lie upon beds of ivory….”  The problem was not having and enjoying nice things.

Her dedication and knowledge of design details were impressive and she was also very conscious of budgets and her time - we found her to be very efficient and effective for the tasks at hand. Thanks to Georgia, our home has been transformed into a stunning space that we will enjoy for a lifetime. We are so grateful for her amazing work and couldn't be happier with the end result.

That gift or donation must be made clear and cannot be exchanged for a service or product in return, otherwise it will be considered trade and must abide by the federal, state, and local regulations.

For sake of information, DNA testing is possibly the best method to tell the difference between African and Asian ivory. But, by just looking at it, the African ivory doesn’t usually have the pinkish tint that’s found in Asian ivory. The grain marks in Asian ivory also have sharper peaks, and they zig-zag a bit more.

In addition to federal ivory laws, California passed its own law regarding ivory transactions in 1976 (California Penal Code section 653o), which makes it unlawful to import, possess with intent to sell, or sell any elephant part. However, uncodified language in the annotated portion of the code creates an exception for elephant parts imported prior to June 1, 1977, significantly weakening the law’s practical impact. It is often pointed out that the existence of such a structure has been confirmed by archaeological evidence. However, it will be shown that this is not as straightforward as it seems, and that the phrase “Ivory Palace of King Ahab” is a rather problematic one. In 1932, the Joint Expedition to Samaria, located in present-day West Bank, discovered a large quantity of ivory objects and decorations (a total of 250 fragments were recorded) near the northern area of Samaria’s summit. This has led people, including the archaeologists, to believe that they have found King Ahab’s Ivory Palace.

When we look elsewhere in Scripture, ivory usually appears in a positive light. In I Kings 10, which describes the abundant blessings God gave Solomon due to his wisdom, we are told Solomon had a great throne of ivory overlaid with gold. He had a fleet that came every three years bring riches, including ivory.

Welcome to Ivory House

Ahab had an “ivory house” — this could possibly mean a house actually made of ivory, but it is much more likely that it meant a palace which was full of ivory decorations. These items, in Room 57 of the British Museum, were found in Samaria, Ahab’s capital city, and date from around the time of Ahab. They, like the ivory items at Fort Shalmaneser, are Phoenician in style. House of Ivory is a multidisciplinary creative studio specialising in intuitive, feel-good design. Highly skilled in collaborative and considered curation, we create memorable concepts in residential interior design,shaping uniquely inviting spaces that are luxury you want to live in. Ivory owners are quite educated on the current laws relating to their collections, unfortunately many estate sale clients aren’t the actual collectors themselves but may be family members when you’re hired to host an estate sale.

A Utah native who grew up in Millcreek, Ivory runs point for Ivory Homes — the Beehive State's top homebuilder since 1998. The latest award joins a long list of accolades for Ivory, including being named ProBuilder's National Home Builder of the Year in 2021. SALT LAKE CITY — Ivory Homes CEO Clark Ivory on Thursday night was honored with the 45th annual Giant in our City award.

House of Ivory acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land we live and work on, the Bidjigal and Gadigal peoples. We pay respect to the Elders of the Eora Nation, past and present, and extend that respect to all other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. Like all cut flowers, orchids naturally have a limited lifespan, but by following a few care tips, you can maximise their longevity. Trim their stems on an angle before placing them into a vase filled with clean, room-temperature water. Treat them gently and avoid direct sunlight, drafts and heat, and they’ll stay pretty longer.

As an esteemed interior designer, she sought to express her artistic vision on her terms. What began as weekly flower installations in a single home and restaurant soon metamorphosed into an enterprise. If you’ve never come across an estate sale that had ivory, you’re in luck, but you may sooner or later. If you’ve come across an ivory collector’s estate, we’d love to hear from you and find out how you handled the situation. Thousands of members discuss, ask, and answer questions relating to this topic and many other topics that will help you grow your estate sale business and avoid situations that others may have experienced.

There are a few exceptions, including transfers to legal heirs, musical instruments comprised of less than 20 percent of ivory or rhino horn, and bona fide antiques comprised of less than 5% of ivory or rhino horn. The bill also increases penalties for those trafficking in ivory and rhino horn to up to $50,000 or an amount equal to two times the value of the wildlife involved in the violation, whichever is greater, and/or one year in prison. More than 100,000 elephants were killed by poachers between 2010 and 2012, leading some scientists to predict that African forest elephants could be extinct within the decade.

Ancient Egypt

The first problem involves the question of what is meant by an ‘ivory palace’. One may envision an ivory palace to be a building somehow constructed literally from ivory (that’s what I’d imagine anyway). After all, if King Ahab were to be depicted as a really wealthy king, this would be a pretty good way to do so.

The Ivory Palace of King Ahab

As of Jan. 1, 2024, Ivory had 1,917 homes under construction — 667 traditional Ivory homes and 1,250 apartment homes, student housing or affordable town houses for its nonprofit arm, Ivory Innovations. From our first engagement we connected with Georgia’s calm and engaged style, she was able to quickly reflect our needs and desires in her recommendations. We initially only had her for a part of the scope, however recognised that her skills would deliver us a much better outcome if carried through the entire project. Thus 18 months later, a full design commissioned and delivered, we now enjoy the luxe comfort that we desired. By good fortune we were introduced to Georgia -recognising our desire for a clean and luxury aesthetic for our new home near Berry.

The federal wildlife laws and regulations DO NOT prohibit donating or gifting an ivory item. If you are allowed to sell ivory in your state, or meet the exemption requirements for interstate sales, you do not need a permit from the U.S. If your state does allow the sale of ivory, you must now make sure you abide by the federal law and be ready to produce documents required to justify the sale within your state if asked. From figurines to carvings, mini netsuke collections, pianos and violins that have ivory components, and much more.

If you think the score board is ‘Archaeology – 1, Bible – 0’, it isn’t quite as simple. Reliance on the Bible for the interpretation of archaeological evidence is very much like the reliance of any textual evidence. Although historical archaeology is said to be the “handmaiden to history”, it isn’t quite so.

Ahab and Jezebel

The Kurkh Stela (also in Room 6 at the Museum) records more of Shalmaneser’s exploits, including his victory at the Battle of Qarqar, the largest known battle up to that time in history. The monument lists the combatants — and one of the countries defeated by Shalmaneser was the Northern Kingdom of Israel, led by Ahab. Servicing the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, the Southern Highlands and surrounds, our offerings also extend to an Australia-wide flower delivery service, focusing on exquisite orchids, a selection of one-of-a-kind homewares and Tony Assness candles. SAN FRANCISCO (January 7, 2015) – Every 15 minutes, an African elephant is killed for its tusks. And some of that ivory ends up right here on store shelves in California. Dedicating this entrepreneurial endeavor to her young daughter Ivy, the salon’s namesake, sets an important precedent for female empowerment & independence in the “House” & within the local community.

I had the pleasure of working with Georgia who oversaw both the fitout and soft furnishing of our head office and showroom. Georgia understood the functional needs of the business and married this with our design brief, delivering a classic but contemporary end result on time and on budget. Thanks to Georgia, our small and narrow terrace came to life with a perfectly planned layout, a beautiful colour palette and well-chosen furniture and styling. We are thrilled with the final result and couldn't have achieved it without her meticulous attention to detail and patience. Georgia's talent, maturity and passion for design were evident in every decision she made. She understood our brief perfectly and always ordered samples to ensure they were the best fit for our home before making any decision - her efforts were always above and beyond.

Under California law, it’s illegal to import, possess with intent to sell, or sell any elephant part. But a loophole allows the purchase and sale of ivory imported prior to 1977. So many items are advertised as antiques or crafted to look older so they’ll appear legal under California law.

Sign up for House of Ivory news, exclusive offers, and (of course) our signature orchids. Georgia was invaluable in sourcing and selecting all of the finishes for our new home, in addition to furnishing the house in a way that perfectly complemented the architecture- in the most sophisticated way! We were so grateful for her expertise, industry contacts and guidance throughout the entire process.

Mitchell, the Samaria find included winged sphinxes — like the one from Fort Shalmaneser pictured above. What they do show us is that the smaller cache found in Samaria was representative (in its idolatrous elements) of Phoenician ivory carvings — the kind of ivories a Phoenician princess like Jezebel would use to decorate a palace. Specialists in residential interior and floral design, House of Ivory is a multi-skilled creative studio with a nous for executing timeless design and considered, liveable spaces.

If you think archaeology’s here to support the textual evidence (of which history relies on), you’d better think again. I suppose, at the end of the day, one has to be critical of one’s sources, and not take the textual evidence at face value. Also, archaeologists ought to be careful with what they say, since there may be unforeseen repercussions, sometimes much worse than the misidentification of an ancient structure. Our blog for shoppers covers antiques, collectibles, vintage finds, and all things estate sales. One thing most experienced estate sale professionals understand is that a well-informed client will have a big impact on the final outcome and satisfaction of that client. Your best bet is to never include it in a sale, and ask the client to keep it.

We don’t know, but we know that the ivory carvings from Samaria and those in Assyria are both of Phoenician workmanship and that Ahab and one of his successors were defeated by and/or paid tribute to Shalmaneser. Shalmaneser III, the Assyrian king who built the palace now known as Fort Shalmaneser, isn’t even mentioned in the Bible. He has a little bit of relevance to this story because of two items we looked at previously, in Ancient Royal Propaganda. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD. With more than a decade of experience in both interior and floral design, Georgia brings a distinctive perspective to both disciplines.

During the course of estate sales, there are many other items you’ll run into such as alcohol, firearms, safety regulation issues for car seats, cribs, etc… that you must also consider and educate yourself, and your staff about. The estate sale industry is not currently regulated by a governing body. However, veteran estate sale professionals understand the risks involved and tend to stay away from items prohibited for sale by federal, state, and/or local government. When the ban was first announced, it left antique dealers, and auction houses in a tough spot! Many of them do not have proof of age to meet the requirements, and certified dating tests are costly, making it virtually impossible to liquidate all the ivory items they had on their shelves. Almost all companies know there’s an ivory trade ban, yet a quick online search will lead to various ivory carvings listed for sale, this tends to cause a bit of confusion leaving many wondering whether to sell, destroy, or donate the ivory items they find.

Chic and understated, designer DuVäl Reynolds works with a refined eye to create breathtaking spaces. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, Reynolds brings together patterns and colors to create a functional, not theatrical, look.

Black Foyer

Black isn’t a popular choice as a bathroom theme, especially for small bathrooms. However, if you want a classic and timeless look for your bathroom, then a black theme can be your best choice. When she's not designing Adrian Brody's house (evidence above), she's sketching fashion designs, taking photos, or building installations.

Black Primary Bathrooms

Founded in 2001, Amy Lau Design creates interiors known for their warmth, expressiveness, and impeccable attention to detail. Lau has a reverence for the inherent beauty of natural materials and landscapes and thoughtfully incorporates elements of each into every project. Based in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, Alyssa Kapito brings a fresh take on the classics and has a great appreciation of antiques and art. Her projects include a restoration of a historic Hamptons estate; a family home in Beverly Hills; and a beach house in Bellport, Long Island.

Black Bathroom

She helped with draperies, the dining chairs and table, breakfront cabinet, and fabrics that went on our dining chairs. That was my first real introduction to interior design, but that’s not something I thought much about going forward. This elegant foyer has black walls that are complemented by dark wood flooring and contrasted by white wooden moldings that line the floor and walls. The dark-walled end of the hallway is adorned with a white marble console table with a table lamp and artworks on it. The bathtub has a black and white design that matches the toilet and the checkered flooring of this black primary bathroom.

She is also one of the few Black women who raised $2 million for her business. When asked why she chose to go all in on paint rather than wallpapers for her business, Gibbons shared that her goal was to create a business with a legacy that stretches beyond her. "The paint shopping experience is fundamentally broken and archaic. To me, that signaled a bigger opportunity." With features in TV and print, including HGTV, InStyle, Elle Decor, and more, Gibbons has built an impressive portfolio as a TV host.

Instead, opt for an off-white and bring in those darker shades with your bed linen, rugs, drapes and decor. Black walls are a great backdrop for color, making anything you put against it feel 100% more vibrant. So take a cue from this black and white bedroom and add a daring color like orange or yellow that's really going to stand out against the darkness – it needn't be in a large dose either, just a couple of throw pillows would do it. Navigating the design world—a predominantly white industry—comes with its own set of unique challenges when you’re a decorator of color. In addition to executing design projects with a commitment to excellence, securing meaningful opportunities for recognition is equally arduous.

Black Walls and Ornate White Moldings

Poonam Khanna, the firm’s founder, has a soulful interior design sensibility that is all her own. Her projects range from the design of a Brooklyn townhouse to a SoHo store for Loeffler Randall. She is currently working on the renovations of a Michelin two-star restaurant in Washington, D.C. New York designer Richard Mishaan is a renaissance man with a career that has spanned many creative arts, including interior design, furniture design, fashion, and retail. Mishaan is renowned for his ability to blend collectibles and antiques with art and furnishings. Skilled at creating spaces that feel masculine and easy, Neal Beckstedt describes his style as warm modernism.

Here are 42 talented Black interior designers, stylists, and creatives you'll wish you'd known about sooner. Tiffany Thompson is a residential designer and the founder of Duett Interiors. She previously worked at Nike, before deciding to translate her passion for interior design into a career. Her specialty is "merging cultures with your personal style to transform a space to be uniquely yours."

Read on to learn more about some of the most inspiring black designers working today—and hear what they have to say about diversity in the design world. We tend to avoid black or dark colors in smaller bedrooms because it's design 101 that lighter colors make a small space feel bigger. And yes, while that's true darker colors can actually have a similar space enlarging effect. Opting for a black feature wall or even on all four walls can blur the edges of the room creating the allusion of more space. Both black and white schemes - as separate colors – lend themselves well to a minimalist scheme, that pared-back look needs less clutter and has a contemporary feel. It can work really well with black, but do remember, that unless you want to wake up in a dark room (which may be a tad depressing), it can be wise to add in a little contrast.

Keita Turner describes her personal style as "fashionably chic, enduringly classic," and after following her Instagram account, you'll see it's just that. In between design reveals, she'll take you along to major design industry events, such as High Point Market (pictured, above). If you're a fan of bold color, you can't miss Beauty is Abundant designer Leah Alexander's Instagram feed, which is full of vibrant patterns, unexpected (and gorgeous) color combinations, and plenty of inspiration. British-based designer Malcolm Simmons has been on several design up-and-comers lists, and we've enjoyed watching him redo his new London flat. Don't sleep on his how-to hacks, like his transformation of Ikea bookshelves into something fabulous. If you're all about the maximalism design trend, Beth Diana Smith will be your guide, with her bold and beautiful combinations of colors and patterns.

Saleem, a mother of five, infuses practicality in her work and prides herself in creating a space that can function even in its beauty and luxury. "I like to use pattern, unexpected color combinations, and a mix of both elegant and eclectic design elements to create an aesthetic that is both sophisticated yet approachable," the designer said in her personal statement. Saleem and her work have been featured in publications such as Ebony, Traditional Home, HGTV Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and more. Her portfolio boasts a variety of home transformations that include office spaces, living rooms, bedrooms, and entire home makeovers, predominantly carried out in her native Baltimore. Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters are the Principal Founders of the award-winning and highly sought-after design company Forbes + Masters.

When you look at the work of Justina Blakeney, you'll notice the lively combination of color, texture and greenery — or, as she likes to call it, the jungalow decorating style. Along with being an interior designer, Justina is also the author of several design books and the founder and creative director of home decor brand, Jungalow. Mary McDonald is an award-winning, internationally published Los Angeles–based interior designer. Her bold and inspiring interiors have earned her myriad licensed product lines.

You could carry on the bright accent into other parts of the room - a vase on your bedside, or a rug for example, it all depends on how much color you want to add. Mixing in another element to a predominantly black scheme can be a smart move. Metal touches add warmth visually and gives the space a modern feel in this instant. The carved wooden drawers of this bedside table create interest whilst still being all black, and makes it easy to accessorize with.

The New Redline Venice Hotel Pays Homage to the Area’s Undertold Black History

There's a drastic disparity in the industry, one that has nowhere to go but up. Organizations such as the Black Interior Designers Network are helping to elevate Black designers' work. However, the same systemic problems many people of color face daily are incredibly relevant. Both in the design industry and many other realms of life, I see decisions being made based on social bias, favoritism, and a laziness to explore things that are different. Likewise, in our industry, showrooms call on the same faces to represent them every season because those faces delivered last time.

Black Glam Living Room

We’re getting to an era of inclusion, of the black dollar, and black luxury. It’s not my job to steer people to you if you’re too lazy or don’t care enough to look. I don’t want to call out a particular publication, but one invited a few of us black designers out, and we went. Yes, we’re having this conversation and, yes, you want to be supportive. If you’re telling me that you don’t want my work, or it doesn’t fit your brand because it’s not good, then I’m fine with that.

Veronica Solomon of Casa Vilora Interiors brings an eye for bold color and pattern mixing, often inspired by her Jamaican heritage, to her projects. Interior designer Kesha Franklin is the CEO and lead designer of New York–based Halden Interiors. In the circular dining room of this Beverly Hills home, a high-gloss paint brings a reflective quality to the walls. The master bedroom in this modern NYC loft features a 15-by-8-foot glass wall that can be dimmed when the shower is in use.

Black Plaid Wallpaper

It's a wonder that a multi-billion dollar industry still has a big issue with diversity. In this sector, Black designers make up only 1.5% of the interior design industry (via Zippia), but not for lack of trying. If you’re a fan of colorful, eclectic interiors, then allow me to introduce you to Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters, the women behind the Atlanta-based interior design firm Forbes + Masters.

Pure White Walls

Along with ATI, Tshiama is the co-founder and creative director for Clamp Agency, which focuses on developing e-commerce businesses, and has been featured in Forbes and Net-a-Porter. I felt like we black interior designers were a rarity in the industry when I first started. And that automatically made me [consider] other African American interior designers as my direct competition. So instead of celebrating how rare we are, using that as a resource, we find that we have to automatically compete with each other. The only black interior designer I remember seeing back then was Lou Switzer of the Switzer Group.

His work is often clean, collected, and never without a handy DIY trick. She opted out of attaining a full-time degree in favor of taking multiple courses at prestigious institutions like Parsons School of Design, Pratt, and the New York School of Interior Design. "The strategic, analytical, financial, and communication skills gained during those years have allowed me to differentiate myself in a crowded design field," McLeod told Net-a-Porter. "I always say my superpower is my balance between these skills and my creativity." With a primary focus on Clare, Nicole Gibbons pivoted to small business owner when she founded the company in 2020. "What Clare created for me was an opportunity to focus on one thing," she noted in an interview with Yelp for Business.

It is a great shade for using as an accent if you are decorating with white or with light colors, especially in a kitchen, as it can help anchor and bring depth to the space. Black can be a dominating shade in interiors, so if you're thinking of decorating with black wall-to-wall, as well as over the ceiling, be sure to include elements that will break up the space and bring warmth. New York City–based Peter Marino is known for his commercial and retail designs as much as for his residential, and he has worked to redefine modern luxury worldwide with clients including Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Bulgari.

To complete the space, a BDDW dining table is paired with vintage Hans Wegner side chairs and a Saarinen chair in a Jim Thompson fabric. The Drop System chandelier is by Adelman, the candlesticks are by Ted Muehling for E.R. Butler & Co., the parquet flooring is original to the house, and the artwork is by Jared Rue. Maryline Damour and her partner, Fred Drake, are co-founders of Damour Drake, an interior design and construction firm based in the Kingston, NY.

As the founder of Reidy Creative, Tiffanni Reidy helps her clients create a modern yet colorful space, all while adding a vintage aesthetic with clean architectural lines. Before launching her design firm in 2018, she was the founder and creative director of DomiCile magazine, where she featured the handmade products from local small businesses in the D.C. Florida-based designer Nicole White's work is inspired by her Jamaican heritage. She loves nothing more than infusing the bold colors and textures of the Caribbean into her designs, while being guided by her clients' personal style. Tavia Forbes and Monet Masters are an Atlanta-based design duo with collaborative work dating back to 2012. It wasn't until 2014 when they decided to establishing Forbes + Masters, a full-service interior design company for residential and commercial spaces.

The goal is to use black in your kitchen design such that you get the sophistication of the color without the negative absorption of natural and artificial light. This primary bedroom features black and gray walls along with a modish and handsome-looking chair with a footrest. The elegant French cushioned sofa perfectly blends in with the smooth black walls and black wooden doors. The elegance is augmented by the hanging golden chandelier that illuminates the wooden fireplace at the corner topped with a wall-mounted mirror.

Connecticut-based interior designer Virginia Tupker specializes in high-end residential and commercial projects. Her European upbringing informs her unique interiors, and she draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, from Renzo Mongiardino to Le Corbusier. London-based interior designer Rita Konig knows how to create a space that’s both beautiful and comfortable. For the past 15 years, her relaxed decorating approach has resonated with clients in both the U.K.

However, if you find yourself on a cruise line with strict rules against vaping, we’re here to help you navigate the situation and enjoy your vaping experience without any unwanted attention.

Is Medical Marijuana Allowed on a Cruise?

It’s important to note that discretion should be a priority when selecting a vape device for a cruise. Choose a device that not only satisfies your personal vaping preferences but also helps you blend in seamlessly with the surroundings. Also, if passengers were freely permitted to vape in their staterooms, more people would likely be trying to vape prohibited substances. Most cruise lines will not allow you to vape in your stateroom or even on the balcony. Most cruise lines keep all interior public spaces smoke-free, including any vaping. The short answer is yes, you can bring a vape on a cruise, but there are some restrictions as to where you can use it and which types you can take if you smoke weed pen.

How to Smoke Marijuana (Legally!) While On a Cruise

Some people have successfully concealed marijuana by sewing secret compartments into their clothing or by using body modifications such as hidden pouches or special belts. These methods require careful planning and execution to avoid detection, so it’s crucial to assess your personal risk tolerance and be aware of the potential consequences. To effectively plan your sneak, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the security measures in place at Carnival Cruise terminals and onboard the ship. Cruise lines take security seriously and employ various measures, such as X-ray scanners, metal detectors, and drug-sniffing dogs, to detect prohibited items. Familiarize yourself with these security measures to better evaluate the risks and assess the feasibility of your plan. Imagine yourself lounging on a pristine cruise ship, basking in the warm rays of the sun, and laughing with friends as you sail away to a tropical paradise.

Can You Bring Weed on a Cruise Ship?

Chances are that small amounts of marijuana that you try to bring on the ship would likely just be confiscated. The state of Washington is seen as one of the most progressive in the United States when it comes to marijuana laws. It’s currently one of many states that allow the recreational use of the drug.

It’s essential to comply with these policies to ensure a smooth and enjoyable cruise experience. Vapes and all e-cigarettes are treated the same combustion cigars and cigarettes people smoke, which is a potential fire hazard that could ultimately sink a cruise ship. While Delta-8 THC is increasingly sought-after due to its perceived gentler effects compared to its cousin Delta-9 THC, it’s important to note that its presence on cruise ships is strictly forbidden. Cruise ships typically ban balcony smoking due to fire risk – a real concern for cruise lines. Because the policy is based on U.S. federal law, you won't find a cruise line based in America that has a different perspective, even when the company's ships sail in other countries.

You could also face further penalties and put guests in the same room at risk of being disembarked. You can take as much as you like onboard, subject to other regulations; for example, general liquid limits will also apply to oils. You can find more information on the worldwide regulation of e-cigarettes wiki page here. Ideally, pack your juices in plastic bottles to avoid any risk of breakages.

Illegal drugs and substances will be confiscated, and Celebrity Cruises reserves the right to, at its discretion, report violations of this nature to the appropriate authorities. All forms, including medical marijuana, are prohibited from being taken on board all cruise ships even if possession and use are legal in the state where your cruise ship is leaving or embarking. You would have to find an alternative medication or remedy for the duration of your cruise. Of course, that’s not to say that all of those actions will definitely happen if you’re caught with weed, but it could do. Many people have reported in online forums that they’ve seen other guests being arrested after being caught with substances when boarding cruise ships. It’s not just on board the cruise ships that you’re forbidden from possessing or using marijuana.

Even in Canada (at the time of writing), all forms of e-cigarettes are technically illegal to sell. Therefore you will need to pack your vape in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggage. Carnival cruise has very helpfully created a list of all ships in the fleet and the designated smoking areas for almost everyone. Enjoy your cruise responsibly and respect the rules and regulations to ensure a pleasant and penalty-free journey.

Do cruise ships check for weed?

For example, Skagway, Alaska, is a popular port for cruises from the West Coast to Alaska. While the town is small (just about 1,000 people), it has a dispensary called the Remedy Shoppe just a few blocks from the cruise port. Even if you have a medical card or prescription for medical purposes, you are still not allowed to take marijuana substances on a cruise ship. There are no exceptions for medicinal purposes, and this is usually clearly stated in each cruise line’s policies.

While you may light up legally in some states — and some countries — it's illegal to have cannabis on a cruise ship, so you cannot get high on the high seas. In no event shall any Passenger bring on board the Vessel any illegal controlled substances (including medical marijuana). A less intoxicating form of THC, Delta 8 is legal in many places, including most states in the US. However, just like regular marijuana, Delta 8 is banned from cruise ships. Delta 8 is banned on all Carnival cruise ships, no matter where they are disembarking or stopping at ports of call, even if in states where it is legal.

Familiarize yourself with any restrictions on specific accessories or modifications to prevent any inconveniences during security checks. You may be able to buy vape products in ports of call, subject to the rules of the country you are visiting. Cruise ship policies regarding vapes and e-cigarettes vary, so it is important to check with your specific cruise line before packing your vape. That being said, most cruises allow passengers to bring personal vape pens, cartridges, and oils on board. Passengers who are caught with marijuana risk being denied boarding or getting ejected at the next port.

Experienced cruisers have all sorts of cruise tips and tricks for packing, some more unexpected than others. For example, magnets will attach loose pieces of paper, like excursion tickets and party invitations, to your cabin wall. Colorful towel clips will stop your beach towel from flying off your lounger on a breezy day. Compression cubes are perfect for squeezing more into your luggage, while hanging washbags mean you can store toiletries vertically, rather than cluttering the bathroom. For example, Carnival states they follow federal law, but Delta 8 is legal by federal law .

Proper storage and packaging are essential when preparing to bring weed on a Carnival Cruise. It’s important to keep your marijuana fresh, safe, and discreetly packaged. Invest in high-quality smell-proof containers that will effectively contain the scent and prevent any odors from attracting unwanted attention. Consider using a vacuum-sealed bag or multiple layers of smell-proof containers to ensure maximum odor control.

Invest in a travel pill organizer for any meds to avoid packing endless bottles, and a jewelry roll to keep everything together. A USB octopus means you can charge multiple devices from one USB socket, although power extension strips are not allowed. A thermal water flask will keep your drinking water cool all day and is more environmentally sound, as you won’t be discarding half-full plastic bottles once they warm up.

There may be drug dogs in the cruise terminal, but there are no drug dogs on Carnival cruise ships. If you want to know exactly how cruise ships check for drugs, I recommend that you read this article. While bringing edibles on a cruise ship is not allowed, people have reported that this is one of the easiest ways to get high on a cruise. Some people mix THC gummies with regular gummy sweets in a bag so that it just looks like a snack or mix THC pills with vitamins tablets. In countries like Jamaica where marijuana is legal, you’re much less likely to get in trouble for smoking weed ashore, although it may still be forbidden, according to cruise line policies. In addition, foreign governments at Norwegian Cruise Line ports of call have strict laws that address drug possession.

How to Smoke Marijuana Legally on a Cruise

If you’re a vaper planning to embark on a cruise, you may be wondering how to enjoy your favorite pastime without raising any eyebrows. We understand the desire to relax and indulge in your vaping experience, even while at sea. In this article, we’ll provide you with tips and tricks on how to sneak a vape on a cruise and enjoy your vaping moments discreetly. Even if federal marijuana law reform were to finally happen, smoking is still banned outside of designated areas on all cruise ships, regardless of the substance. During Carnival Cruise’s baggage checks, it’s essential to remain vigilant and avoid drawing attention to yourself. If possible, position any marijuana-containing items within your luggage discreetly.

Can You Take Delta 8 on a Cruise Ship?

Each item needs to match other items, so keep the color palette minimalist. One pair of pants, for example, can be paired with any number of floaty tops, or with sneakers by day and strappy sandals by night. There’s no need to bring an entire mobile office, but think about what you might need at the destinations you’re visiting on your cruise itinerary. In Alaska, binoculars are essential for wildlife spotting, as is a camera with a zoom lens. An essential cruise tip here is to bring a spare battery, as nobody wants a dead camera just as that pod of orcas appears. Part of the fun of the first day is exploring your new home, and a wise cruise tip from experienced sailors is to take a self-guided ship tour.

Understanding Cruise Ship Policies

While local authorities turn a blind eye towards locals, they are known to target tourists. While it might seem easy to sneak weed onto a cruise ship, the consequences, passengers caught in possession of pot face severe consequences. Even if the cruise ship departs from a state where weed is legal, passengers cannot bring the drug on board the vessel. While disposing of waste, it’s important to be environmentally conscious and avoid any negative impact on the surroundings. Avoid throwing marijuana-related waste overboard or in inappropriate locations, as it can harm marine life and ecosystems.

Can You Buy Marijuana In Alaska Where The Cruise Ships Dock?

If you're at the Ward Cove cruise pier, however, you are only about 2 miles via taxi transportation. After a drawn-out debate and after putting strict rules in place, Alaska's Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office in August 2021 approved two venues for on-site consumption. These are among the first places in the nation approved to cater to locals and tourists. Bear in mind that security is tighter when you return from a trip than when you leave.

However, it’s important to remember that security personnel are trained to detect unusual items, so choose your hiding spots and containers wisely. Attempts to smuggle marijuana onboard or smoke it during the cruise carry severe penalties, including fines, disembarkation, and potential legal repercussions. If you get high while in port (legally) and then come back to the ship, then nothing is likely to happen to you unless you are making a disorderly scene.

However, be aware that no method is foolproof, and it’s still essential to exercise caution and minimize any potential odors. Major cruise lines like Carnival, Disney, Princess, and Celebrity enforce stringent rules against marijuana possession or use, aligning with federal law. While some port destinations allow legal marijuana use, cruise lines universally prohibit its presence in any form onboard. Passengers should refrain from smoking while on the ship to comply with regulations. If you’re wondering if you can bring weed with you on a cruise, the answer is no.

What Happens if Caught Smoking on a Cruise Ship?

The security screening for passengers and luggage may involve using dogs to sniff out drugs. To minimize the risk of being caught with weed on a Carnival Cruise, it’s important to keep a low profile throughout your trip. Avoid attracting unnecessary attention by refraining from openly discussing or displaying your marijuana. By blending in with the other passengers and adhering to the ship’s rules and regulations, you decrease the likelihood of being noticed and questioned. Cruise lines say very clearly that cannabis in any form is not allowed on board.

What Happens If You Are Caught With Delta 8?

When you start smoking, make sure you don’t drop any ashes, have them fall in the sink with running water to wash them away immediately. Use a wet-ringed-out towel to block any gaps under the door so smoke can’t get through to the cabin. Even if your bag is manually checked, security staff are more focused on looking for weapons and alcohol. If they are gummies or mints, people mix them with well-known generic brands of the same type. Ideally, choose THC gummies or mints with no branding on them so they don’t stand out.

It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each method carefully and choose one that aligns with your personal risk tolerance. Many places that are visited by cruise ships are relaxing restrictions on the drug. For example, it is legal in California, Washington, Alaska, New York, Massachusetts and other coastal states. Under the cruise contract you sign to board a ship, cruise lines have the right to search your room, throw you off the ship and turn you over to local authorities for any violations.

By being conscious of the surveillance and acting accordingly, you decrease the chances of being caught sneaking weed on a Carnival Cruise. While sneaking weed on a Carnival Cruise may seem exciting, it’s important to exercise responsible consumption. It’s crucial to remember that excess or irresponsible behavior can draw attention to yourself, increasing the likelihood of being caught. Pace yourself, be mindful of your surroundings, and respect the privacy and comfort of other passengers. By consuming responsibly, you not only reduce the risk of detection but also contribute to a safer and more enjoyable cruise experience.

The exact consequences will vary, but many passengers have reported seeing other guests under arrest or kicked off the ship for possession of marijuana. Despite the possible consequences of possessing or consuming weed, many passengers still try to sneak the drug onto the cruise ship. With countries worldwide taking a progressive stance towards marijuana, and legalization in many US states, you might be wondering if you can bring weed on a cruise ship. Utilizing accessories and containers can be an effective way to hide weed on a Carnival Cruise. Consider using items such as sunscreen bottles, deodorant sticks, or hollowed-out pens as discreet storage containers. Be sure to clean and prepare these items thoroughly to remove any trace of their original contents.
