Thanks for the assist,but I can take care of this keyboard warrior just fine!!

I don't think the Indonesian Police or Military teach a lot of Customer service but I get your point.. You have to have well rounded Experienced person to run your ship's security...When your ship is going in and out of "lets say" US ports who do you think Customs and the Local Police will want to cooperate with more, some guy from India as a example? or a Former Chief of Police or US Marine from the states, possibly some guy who did a couple years in the Canada or British Navy then 20 Years on with Metro Police of London?.......In 2018 I was chatting with one of the head Pursers on a Carnival ship and we got to talking about Security, I explained to her that I had flirted with the idea of going thru the hiring process back in the Mid 1990's as Chief of Security on one of their ship's. She asked about my experience and when I told her, She flat out told me that "They" couldn't afford me..That told me alot!!. Sorry Forgot to answer you second question...The answer would be Yes!!

Ill Never tell😁

Sure I have time...Some of these suggestions the Cruise lines might do in the future and some might be a little harder.. (1) The US government could make recipical agreements with Ships flagged in different country's to enforce US law for cruise ships leaving and returning to US ports. same with Canada, Britian and other "Host" Country's to enforce their National laws.. (2) In the US,..Establish a Federal Law enforcement program similar to the Air Marshal program with a Federal agent trained in Investigations and prevention to be placed on every ship with the cost being paid in part by the Cruise line and the passengers..sailing out of the US. (3) The US could lower taxes on "Flagging" cruise ships that primary sail out to the US to make this process more easier. (4) On ships that sail short cruises or that are known "Party boats" hire competent Security Officers perferbly former LEO or Military..Give these officer the proper tools and training...None of this Scene where officers from Carnival were kicking the Aussie's on the ground.. As I, stated above, Hire and Pay these officers properly...Lots of MP's and Marines leave the service every day, here in US, Canada, Britian...Especially when you looking at Head of Security for your ship Hire a Gunny Sgt from the US or a Royal Marine...not some guy from Indonesia...

Thanks For your Support ! Wish your brother the same wishes!!

MP'S all the way...You brother is in Heaven being dispached by St Peter to go break up a good Bar fight downstairs!!

Cool, I have not yet sailed Celebrity but soon...I usually get to know the Security when i get on board..They find out my previous experience in LE and Security and we get to talking...I am not talking about Celebrity, but the cruise lines that have short cruises are going to have to up their Security programs game with the world what it is today....But the OP asked about ship safety...Its not as good as you think in a lot of aspects...

Ok. Thanks for the clarification!! I have never seen any cruise line charge, double charges for a Single..Must be a sailing out of Europe?...I tip extremely well, usually Dollar a drink and that's soda Since I sail Solo, i spend a lot of time talking to the Crew in the shops and my favorite bar. You learn a lot about them and the "System"...and always take care of Room Service usually a fiver...and of course a some "Extra" to my cabin Steward...😀

Was this on a Celebrity Cruise?

Sorry I know i am new to the Celebrity Board..But have sailed most of my life in Single Supplement Cabins..Royal/ Carnival only charges me one gratuity per cabin and doesn't charge the "Ghost" guest one..Should i pay two Gratuity's charge for a single or did i totally not understand what you said? Thanks

Thanks!!!!

To be honest..You right...Want to talk about lousy healthcare...It"s called the US Dept of Veteran Affairs.....The Vietnam Veterans had a Saying "if you haven't been to Nam, Shut your Mouth"...Possibly we should apply that to all of us in regard to badmouthing each other Country's healthcare unless we have personal experience To the OP. I was a EMT in a foreign country and i helped a lot of Foreign Tourist..I hope you get better and I am sorry for your Lousy Experience

Hey Thanks!!! Wasn't sure if i should go thru Sonny's or just take a cab over there? Thanks!

At lease we have a Bill of Rights..Watch what what you say about other peoples country's

Hi, If you coming in to Crown Bay on Royal and want to visit the Haversack Area..How can you tell before your trip if its open? Thanks

Do you think she just meant Carnival😁
