A local CBS station in Alabama reports that since January 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard publicly reported only 31 crimes aboard cruise ships. However, after Senator Rockefeller placed pressure on the cruise industry, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian on Thursday reported 94 crimes and 20 crimes, respectively, between October 2010 and the end of June of this year. These figures do not include Carnival.
Is this a complete list of crimes? No. Extracting honest crimes statistics from the cruise industry is a long process.
The news station states that the most common crime allegations are rape and sexual assault, followed by thefts.
