Passengers lack public info on cruise ship crime
By Mike M. Ahlers, CNN
Vegas stole the slogan but cruise ships can also lay claim, “Whatever happens on cruise ships, stays on cruise ships”.
Only a tiny portion of alleged crimes on cruise ships is ever publicly disclosed, according to a report by the Senate Commerce Committee.
Of 959 crimes reported to the FBI since 2011, only 31 were disclosed on a web site maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard.
As a consequence, passengers have an incomplete picture of crime on board of ships.
