Do all NCL ships have a brig aka jail?

[fstuff1]

i was either on the Gem or Breakaway a couple of years back and there was a security officer standing in front of a door on my floor.

 

apparently that guy is being locked in his cabin for doing something.

that gave me the impression that NCL ships dont have a brig.

they just lock people in their rooms.

 

then i saw the behind the scenes tour video of Escape:

 

One of the areas was the Security Holding Cell (aka brig).

so do only some of the NCL ships have a brig? if so, which?

if ALL ncl ships have a brig, then what could be a reason security locking someone in his cabin instead?

if ALL ncl ships have a brig, then why was someone locked in his cabin instead of the brig?

 

How would anyone here, on an Internet forum, possibly know the reason "why"?

They almost all have brigs, however a cruise line will do everything that they can to avoid using one. In most cases it will be violent passengers or cases where a passenger has attacked someone else in their room that they will use a brig.

 

Passengers locked in their cabin may not be turned over to police, passengers placed in the brig will almost always be turned over to police.

Gee, maybe someone asked on the behind the scenes tour? Or maybe someone in law enforcement has a plausible reason? Or a former employee?

 

Or we can speculate. Probably some behavior is brig worthy because the person poses a risk of violence, whereas another might not be brig worthy.

If you have a contagious disease and they want to ensure isolation then a security guard outside a locked room would ensure security.

I heard the brig was full.

Yes, yes...someone on the behind the scenes tour asked "why" this particular person was locked in their room instead of the brig...and that person just so happens to be a Cruise Critic member who is just waiting for someone to ask "why" so he can spill the beans and let everyone in on the secret. :rolleyes:

 

Sure.

 

Or,

 

Maybe since the OP was actually on the ship at the time, and maybe since the OP actually saw this occur with their own eyes, and maybe since the OP had access to personally question either the posted security guard or another crew member...maybe...just maybe...the OP could tell US "why".

 

Or I'm left to believe that the OP decided not to speak to any of the eyewitnesses at the scene figuring that the people here, who were not onboard, would somehow know "why".

 

 

Not to mention that knowing "why" makes no difference what-so-ever....to anyone.

I heard that my underage step nephew got drunk and was held in his room until the parents got back. Not on NCL.

I got lost once on the Star and saw a door marked “JAIL” on Deck 4.

 

I imagine that the reasons why someone might be confined to their cabin instead of in the ship’s jail are similar to why they have house arrest vs. prison on land. Because not all crimes call for the same punishment.

I asked where the brig was on a behind the scenes tour on the Epic. I didn't get an answer just a sort of laugh and that was all!

From our experience the above is true!

Who cares! Enjoy your cruise! Forget everyone else! Geez!

 

These questions continue to baffle my mind. Do you plan on going in Brig? If not, focus on other things that will behoove passengers rather than stirring "hornets nest".

And yet... you responded. There is a such thing as scrolling on by...

 

If it’s not your cup of tea- keep on moving.

What's your problem? I just read a few responses by you and you are being a tool in each one. If you don't like the thread, just ignore and move along.

 

Merry Christmas, Grinch.

Sir? I was simply responding to statement about Brig. Down boy.

 

Merry Christmas to you too.

Do they serve Coke in the brig?

Not that I know of, but coke can get you in the brig :halo:

[kevmoley]

Do all NCL ships have a brig aka jail? Yes but they call them inside cabins ..Ta-Da ..Dum :)

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

How are the chicken nuggets though?

Maybe the OP was just curious. I find a new topic/question refreshing. Not every thread has to be a rehash of the same 7-8 topics over and over. Of course I, like most people, simply scroll on past threads/topics I have no interest in. :rolleyes:

I'm sure there's a few here who have had " interesting" life events:cool:

I don't even think that was up for debate. Like you, I'm sure some folks here have had "interesting" life events. I doubt any of those events, however, would give them insight as to "why" this particular person was in their cabin and not in the brig.;p
