A couple that arrived in St. Kitts aboard the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship on Wednesday (Nov. 23) have been arrested and charged with drug possession by local police.
At about 8:35 that morning, ship security was alerted to the possibility of passengers having marijuana in their cabin.
A search of the couple's quarters turned up a quantity of vegetable material suspected of being Cannabis.
The local drug squad was called in, and carried out an investigation.
A local judge fined the passenger EC $5,000, which he reportedly paid immediately after the hearing.
The couple were not permitted to return to the cruise ship. They spent the night in St. Kitts, and left the island the following day.
A fine of EC (East Caribbean currency) turns out to be around US $1,850.
