What kind of defenses do cruise ships have?

Is that “orphan” frequently or “orphan” a person with no parents?

They can still be risky. Perhaps the Dianne Brimble affair is not well known outside Australia but animals can operate in packs on vessels. Wiki.

My gosh, what a horrible read.

It is disgusting. So what control goes on onboard rather than being raided from outside? And the article omits a few details (which I won’t post but are readily available) that makes your stomach churn.

Indeed. This article has much more: http://www.cruisebruise.com/Dianne_Brimble.html

The Brimble affair could have occurred in any nightclub/hotel district anywhere. I don’t see it as a cruiseship problem.
