Page 2 of 2

A few years ago, the FBI said that when it came to sexual assault cases, 37% of the suspects across the industry were actually ship personnel, two-thirds of whom were not U.S. citizens. Just beware that those individuals who you think are there to help you may not be what they seem.

The numbers of crimes alleged to have happened are much higher than what many passengers previously thought, but taking a cruise remains a safe adventure. While it’s not like having to face down the Barbary pirates, just as at home you still need to take care when you’re on the high seas.
