Droid Not Allowed on DCL?

[SarahSnow]

Wow. Must be nice to have the money to make one of those and then put it on a float in the ocean where the water moves and it could fall off.

I asked the poster how they got it on the ship. They had to check all the electronic parts and control at the port. Pretty much it's just the shell.

I'm throwing the BS flag. It's got to be photoshop. When have you EVER been on the beach with perfectly groomed sand and absolutely no guests in view?

I actually know the Instagram user droid_sd14 personally. They are real and a TA.
They were the first one to start trying to bring it on board, for their own fun, but also to know the in's and out's for their clients. They are ONLY bringing is the outside plastic shell and removing the inside drive unit, which only the BB units have the ability to have it removed. The concern is you can't have "Remote-controlled devices" on board according to DCL policy for safety and to comply with different port laws.

I built a R2 unit and will be going on a cruise at the end of the month, so I did reach out to DCL to find out what the options where...

"The droids built at the Droid Depot in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge are unable to be brought onboard the ship due to security concerns."

When I replied to see if it's something they were going to look at for the future, they responded...

"When the question arose regarding whether or not the droids built at the Droid Depot in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge could be brought on board the ship, we did full research with all appropriate departments to see if this could be done. It was determined that there are no exceptions.

If you arrive at the terminal with the droid or it is found on board, it will be confiscated."

So builders that have a BB unit and removes the 'motor' and leaves it at home, may be able to, however they do still risk it still being confiscated. And for now R2/R4 units are out of luck.
(Guess mine has to stay home for yet another trip )

I love that account, they take some awesome pictures. I appreciate that they took the time to to learn the rules so they could let their clients and others know. I plan to bring mine with me when we cruise next, don't mind leaving the motor and controller at home.

I just added BB-30 to the family.
And ordered 'parts' to make him stable when he leaves his motor at home for the cruise in less than 2 weeks. (magnets to keep the head on, and bean bags to keep the body in place from rolling)

Is this just a dcl rule or all ships.

Oooh this is good to know, I wanted to make an R2 unit and plan on doing a cruise on the same trip, I've yet to figure out if I'm cruising first or at WDW. Don't think I want to know how much it would cost to ship home internationally so I shall just have to hand him over.
