Question: 

What is the security process during embarkation and will I need to go through this at every port of call?

Answer:

For your complete security and peace of mind, there are stringent security measures in force, particularly at UK ports. All cabin baggage will be electronically screened, hand baggage may be examined, and you will be required to pass through an X-Ray arch before boarding the vessel. At embarkation, the barcode on your boarding pass will be used for gangway control purposes and will validate you as a bona fide guest. Once onboard, you will find your personalised ID cruise card in your cabin and this will be used for all onboard purchases and also, as security each time to leave and re-join the vessel.

Please Note: 

Any items that can be classed as a weapon or sharp objects will be confiscated and returned at the end of the cruise, and this could even result in the guest being refused boarding. Any prohibited items such as bottles of alcohol will be confiscated and returned at the end of the cruise.
