☆ Rape at sea: How a broken system is failing passengers and darkening the cruise industry
  + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( Sophia Ankel | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
Cruise ship companies are failing sexual assault victims, lawsuits seen by Business Insider show. Carnival told the Washington Post last year that the alleged assailant was fired from the cruise line but that he was never charged. "The truth is, cruise companies don't know much about the employees they hire," he told BI. "I don't know how they sleep at night, I really don't"Jamie Barnett, from the organization International Cruise Victims (ICV), told BI that the behavior of cruise companies makes victims feel "lost and very isolated." Cruise companies, she said, "will fight tooth and nail before they would roll over and not do what they needed to do, to keep the public from knowing."

☆ Cruise workers reveal what happens if you quit your job in the middle of the ocean
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Hannah Towey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min

"What will happen is the cruise line will fly you home, but will deduct from your wages what you owe," Jim Walker, a Miami-based maritime lawyer who represents cruise workers and passengers, told Insider.
