Some bans reach past the ship. Disney's covers Castaway Cay. Holland America's covers terminals, transfers, shore activities and private islands.
Royal Caribbean and MSC
Royal Caribbean's pages don't mention CBD. MSC's US pages don't either, but MSC bans illegal drugs, controlled substances and medical marijuana. Both lines ban marijuana. Ask the line before you pack anything made from cannabis.
Laws on land still apply
A cruise visits other countries, and each port has its own drug laws. What's legal in your home state doesn't carry over to the ship or the ports. The cruise line's rule and each port's law both apply.

Norwegian names oils, candies and gummies. Other lines ban CBD products in general, so plan on the ban covering every form.
