Default seems Princess Line will have alot of questions to fully answer now!

I don't know who is telling the truth here.but it seems odd the lil fishing boat knew the name of the ship and a passinger says the boat seemed to be in trouble, yet the Captian didn't stop and make sure!

I totally agree, please note I posted it as Princess not Costa. I only posted it becuase its another Carnival issue and another possible Captain issue.

According to the BBC news story on their website the Captain nor the Officer of the watch was not told about the boat !! so i think the crew member who looked at the boat and failed to act needs to be found!

This certainly is not a good year for Carnival Corp.

In another story, this one involving Cunard.

According to several news reports, the passengers reported this to a sales representative. There is a possibility that there was a breakdown in communication.

Cunard? Carnival? Try googling a combination of the words Royal Caribbean and molest. Shocking that the search results might contain several recent and horrible accounts of passengers and crew molesting kids on OH NO--a non-Carnival line and AMERICAN too. How can that be??

Lots of sketchy sorts end up on any of the cruise ships. Luxury, economy, American, whatever. A weekly rotation of prey with parents who might think that because they are on their favorite cruiseline, all will be well because their special cruiseline is safe and well managed. Unlike those other guys. Uh huh. Attack another cruiseline and then be prepared to defend your own. These boards are hilarious in that regard--as rational as most sports team discussions.

What this boils down to is no matter what cruiseline, school, park, religous place of worship, playground......This can happen anywhere in the world and as parents we need to keep our eyes open and trtain our kids on what to do if approached, or attacked!
