He got lucky. When I worked on a cruise ship, the scam in Jamaica (Ocho Rios, to be precise) was for the souvenir shop salesperson to sell weed to the pax, then sell them out to the cop five minutes later for a reward.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to try to take drugs back on a cruise ship, anyway... Although I guess they never search the pax as much as they search the crewmembers.
