Dang Blast,
You are worth just eighteen dollars????

On another note, cruise line officers are not happy when one shows up to lifeboat drill wearing SCUBA fins, face mask, snorkel, and BC Vest! smile I won't admit how I know that, but they aren't! smile

To add to this... cruise ship officers don't like it when you try to dive under their ship!!!! Some divers here a few years back tried it to one of the ships in the harbor (in cayman they anchor a bit from shore - no finger piers). They got so close then you see 4 security personnel in dive gear drop in the water. Don't know what happen to the guys who attempted it, but they didn't work on the island after that! Since then, that cruise ship started to carry underwater speakers.

I doubt that I would worry about being attacked on a cruise ship, i mean were are you going to go? As someone said, they know who is missing so that is also the suspect list. And it would be easy to find someone on board.

Good link Blast, excellent info. I guess I'm not going south of the border anytime soon because:

"Excessive alcohol consumption and unruly behavior can lead to serious problems with Mexican authorities."

Yeah, enough said. grin

Or ask where the exposure suits are on an Alaska cruise. Haven't had the opportunity ask that one (yet).

"...The officer demanded that he give him this money, and then told him to return home and be thankful that he was still alive.

I have been stopped several times while driving in Mexico for bogus traffic infractions -- everytime I have simply paid the "fine" at the scene and moved on. It is very helpfull to keep the majority of your money in a separate pocket, as the "fine" is typically whatever amount you can produce..."

And that my friends is why I don't venture south of the border.

As for getting onboard a cruise ship, Norwegian Cruise lines has you go thru a metal detector, your "stuff" goes thru an x-ray. All of the security people are from Nepal (former Gurkas???). Take a flashlight, signal mirror, whistle, leave the rest at home and enjoy the ride...
