Your garage door opener has a very small area to cover. Cruise ships are enormous and then there is the salt and moisture. The costs would be enormous.

Last November, I cruised on board the Ruby Princess. Every time you get off and on the boat you are checked out by the princess medallion. It’s an electronic disk worn on a lanyard, around your neck.
You can’t do anything on board without it. It opens your room, never needing a key or a card. It keeps your account information for drinks and food. It checks you onto the ship and off. We often joked about detecting anyone going overboard.

“Do cruise liners suddenly lurch in a leaning fashion?”

almost never ... except perhaps if they’re stupid enough to get caught in a hurricane, which basically almost never happens either ...

That is a good question. It makes sense that he might be there somewhere.

Could he have just gotten off at a port of call and not got back on board?

It's a tradition around here to not read the full story, but at least read the brief excerpt. But I'll edit it down for you a bit more:

" on a Princess Cruise ship ... the Ruby Princess "

No.

Everyone goes by a scanner that checks you off the ship and when you board the ship. They know exactly who left the ship.

Actually a number of people suicide off cruise ships each year.

This really isn’t news.
