C.S.I. Cruise Lines

First off there is no need to worry, Cruise ships haven’t just got a lot more dangerous, but as many regular cruisers will know laws onboard tend to be confusing at best and if anything does ever need investigating no one is ever quite sure who is meant to do what.

In an effort to help resolve this situation the US Senate on Thursday unanimously approved legislation aimed at improving cruise ship safety and formalizing crime reporting requirements.
HR 3660, the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act, requires 42-inch guard rails, peep holes in every passenger and crew member’s door, on-deck video surveillance and an emergency sound system.
