I have written many articles about the high crime rates in many of the Caribbean islands frequented by cruise lines – Crime in Caribbean Ports of Call Against Cruise Passengers. Consider the following articles in the last year alone:
Antigua – Cruise Passengers Attacked & Robbed in Antigua While Cruise and Tourism Officials Meet and Passenger From Star Clippers Murdered in Antigua
Bahamas 18 Passengers From Royal Caribbean & Disney Cruise Ships Robbed By Shotgun in the Bahamas, Eleven Cruise Passengers Robbed in Nassau, and Cruising To The Bahamas – Is It Safe?
Guatemala – Norwegian Cruise Line Passenger Murdered in Guatemala
Mexico – Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines Pull Ships From L.A. Due To Crime In Mexico
St. Lucia – Norwegian Cruise Line Drops St. Lucia and 14 Cruise Passengers Robbed at Anse-La-Raye Waterfall in St. Lucia
St. Thomas – More Caribbean Crime – Carnival Passenger Killed In St. Thomas
Cruise lines have port agents in all of these destinations and are familiar with the crime which exists in these beautiful, tropical locations. Do you think that cruise lines should warn passengers of the substantial dangers which exist in the ports they select to disembark their passengers?
