All had previously pleaded guilty to the offence at Southampton Crown Court on 15 December 2008.The smugglers, all passengers aboard Arcadia, were caught by UK Border Agency (UKBA) detection officers in the Customs' channels at Southampton Mayflower Cruise Terminal on 19 October 2008. The product in question was strapped to their bodies. Arcadia was returning to Southampton after a 23-night cruise to the Caribbean.Cases of individuals simultaneously vacationing and smuggling drugs are not unheard of. In April of this year, a cocaine bust took place aboard Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas during a 10-night Panama Canal cruise. In 2004, police in Tampa arrested 52 people involved in an operation in which, that's right, crack cocaine was being smuggled into New Orleans via cruise ship.
