Cruise ship crime reaches 2-year high, casting ‘dark cloud’ for travelers: expert
I have done 50+ cruises. Never even came close to crime. Cruise ships are like 1000 times safer than any hotel. Any stranger can walk to your room in a hotel. It is impossible for Strangers to board a ship. Every passenger has verified documents, every item brought on ship passes through x-ray machines, and there are security cameras everywhere on ship. At worst you might run into a passed out drunk in a hallway. The room stewards will not steal anything from cabin because this job pays lot more than what they can earn in their country. Any criminal act gets them black listed from any ship jobs. So they all value their jobs.
