Cruise Passengers Get Added Protection For Cruise Ship Accidents
A new law was passed by the United States Senate designed to give cruise ship passengers added protection for cruise ship accident and incidents. The unfortunate examples of what can happen on a cruise ship have received a significant amount of coverage on TV, online and in the news. Cruise ship accidents and incidents can range from slip and falls on wet decks or areas where the ship has failed to maintain in a safe condition, to injuries which occur during a on shore excursion, to people falling overboard, and even sexual assaults.
The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 is designed to give cruise ship passengers additional protection while on board a cruise ship, and during on shore excursions. The Bill contains some startling facts about traveling on a cruise ship:
(1) There are approximately 200 overnight ocean-going cruise vessels worldwide. The average ocean-going cruise vessel carries 2,000 passengers with a crew of 950 people.
(2) In 2007 alone, approximately 12,000,000 passengers were projected to take a cruise worldwide.
(3) Passengers on cruise vessels have an inadequate appreciation of their potential vulnerability to crime while on ocean voyages, and those who may be victimized lack the information they need to understand their legal rights or to know whom to contact for help in the immediate aftermath of the crime.
(4) Sexual violence, the disappearance of passengers from vessels on the high seas, and other serious crimes have occurred during luxury cruises.
(5) Over the last 5 years, sexual assault and physical assaults on cruise vessels were the leading crimes investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with regard to cruise vessel incidents.
(6) These crimes at sea can involve attacks both by passengers and crewmembers on other passengers and crewmembers.
(7) Except for United States flagged vessels, or foreign flagged vessels operating in an area subject to the direct jurisdiction of the United States, there are no Federal statutes or regulations that explicitly require cruise lines to report alleged crimes to United States Government officials.
(8) It is not known precisely how often crimes occur on cruise vessels or exactly how many people have disappeared during ocean voyages because cruise line companies do not make comprehensive, crime-related data readily available to the public.
(9) Obtaining reliable crime-related cruise data from governmental sources can be difficult, because multiple countries may be involved when a crime occurs on the high seas, including the flag country for the vessel, the country of citizenship of particular passengers, and any countries having special or maritime jurisdiction.
(10) It can be difficult for professional crime investigators to immediately secure an alleged crime scene on a cruise vessel, recover evidence of an onboard offense, and identify or interview potential witnesses to the alleged crime.
(11) Most cruise vessels that operate into and out of United States ports are registered under the laws of another country, and investigations and prosecutions of crimes against passengers and crewmembers may involve the laws and authorities of multiple nations.
To give Cruise ship passengers added protection, the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 imposes additional safety requirements on Cruise Ships. Some of the safety requirements are:
(A) The vessel shall be equipped with ship rails that are located not less than 42 inches above the cabin deck.
(B) Each passenger stateroom and crew cabin shall be equipped with entry doors that include peep holes or other means of visual identification.
(C) For any vessel the keel of which is laid after the date of enactment of the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010, each passenger stateroom and crew cabin shall be equipped with security latches and time-sensitive key technology;
(D) The vessel shall integrate technology that can be used for capturing images of passengers or detecting passengers who have fallen overboard, to the extent that such technology is available;
(E) The vessel shall be equipped with a sufficient number of operable acoustic hailing or other such warning devices to provide communication capability around the entire vessel when operating in high risk areas;
(F) The owner of a vessel shall maintain a video surveillance system to assist in documenting crimes on the vessel and in providing evidence for the prosecution of such crimes.
To protect cruise ship passengers against the dangers of sexual assaults and robberies, the Act states a cruise ship shall:
(1) maintain on the vessel adequate, in-date supplies of anti-retro viral medications and other medications designed to prevent sexually transmitted diseases after a sexual assault;
(2) maintain on the vessel equipment and materials for performing a medical examination in sexual assault cases to evaluate the patient for trauma, provide medical care, and preserve relevant medical evidence;
(3) make available on the vessel at all times medical staff who have undergone a credentialing process to verify they are licenses and properly trained;
(4) a private telephone line and Internet-accessible computer terminal by which the individual may confidentially access law enforcement officials, an attorney, and the information and support services available through the National Sexual Assault Hotline program or other third party victim advocacy hotline service.
(5) treat any information derived from, or obtained in connection with, post-assault counseling or other supportive services confidential, so no such information may be released to the cruise line or any legal representative thereof without the prior knowledge and approval in writing of the patient, or, if the patient is unable to provide written authorization, the patient's next-of-kin.
(6) And establish and implement procedures and restrictions concerning which crewmembers have access to passenger staterooms, the periods during which they have that access, and ensure that the procedures and restrictions are fully and properly implemented and periodically reviewed.
The actual Act contains many more provisions which are designed to protect cruise ship passengers from accidents and injuries on a cruise ship.

If you were passenger on a cruise ship, what would be the most embarrassing thing that could happen?
On one of our cruises a teen decided to spend the night in someone Else's room and did not tell mom. Mom freaked out, the captain was called and he in turn put out a bulletin at 4am(a call to everyone) looking for this teen. Of course she confessed up and the next day, she was so embarrassed as everyone knew who was the dumb teen that disappeared. No one was too happy about getting a 4am loud speaker announcement. She was real quiet the rest of the cruise and I think the captain could have strangled her.
