The smartest thing to do when those 'evacuees' boarded that ship would have been to sail it to Cuba ala ' American Mariel ' style......Criminals nearly all....

I'll bet Carnival's sorry they ever decided to house evacuees. Have any of the (taxpayer-funded) "guests" gotten off the ship and started making new lives for themselves?

According to the FBI, which tracks arrest rates from data collected by local law enforcement agencies, Alabama had an average of 4.3 arrests per 1,000 people a month in 2004. Mississippi, meanwhile, averaged about 6.3 arrests per 1,000 people per month last year.

The number of arrests on board the Holiday for the past month computes to about 19 per 1,000 people, based on a ship occupancy of 1,400.

And the demographics and originating Zip Codes for these Holiday "guests" are ..... ?

So about three calls every day.

Maybe they should just a deputy there full time.

Heck , there's one at my son's High School full time every day.

What is it going to cost the taxpayers to repair the living areas of the ship after the "evacuees" get thru trashing it?

When evacuees first checked onto the ship, they had to pass through metal detectors and their luggage was screened, Gurganus said. People leaving the ship to run errands or make other temporary trips are required to check in and out, Gurganus said. She was unsure whether people and their possessions were being screened upon their return.

11 drug-related arrests

"She was unsure whether people and their possessions were being screened upon their return?" ---Well that explains how drugs are getting on. Have any of them even made an effort to find jobs and homes yet?

Owners will have to scuttle the ship when last "passenger" is thrown off.
