Daniel Grogan and Elizabeth Turk both admitted carrying drugs on the liner and were fined for bringing drugs into Bermuda when the ship docked at Heritage Wharf on the island. Mr Grogan, 36, from New York, was found with ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis, while cannabis was also found in the room that Ms Turk, from Eureka, California, was staying in.
