A suspicious smell emanating from a suitcase turned out to be food but it was strong enough for a pair of alert bomb-sniffing dogs to keep passengers from boarding the Disney Wonder cruise ship Thursday, according to Local 6 News partner Florida Today.<\/P><\/p>\n
The Brevard County sheriff’s bomb squad was called into Port Canaveral to search several pieces of luggage being loaded onto the 964-foot-long ship about 11:30 a.m. after two bomb-sniffing dogs picked up on the scent. <\/P><\/p>\n
The ship was scheduled to leave about 5 p.m. for the Bahamas. <\/P><\/p>\n
“There was a suspicious suitcase found and as part of our standard procedures, we evacuated the terminal,” Rena Langley, a spokeswoman for the Disney Cruise Line told Florida Today. <\/P><\/p>\n
The suspicious smell apparently came from food someone packed away in the suitcase, said Andrew Walters, spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. <\/P><\/p>\n
Bomb squad members X-rayed each piece of luggage on the cart headed for the ship, Walters said. <\/P><\/p>\n
Passengers waited just over two hours before being allowed to finally board the vessel about 2 p.m. <\/P><\/p>\n
“It’s just the climate that our country is in right now,” said Bill Nowak, an Orlando man who was cruising with his wife and two children.<\/P><\/p>\n
