The thought of being trapped on a ship in the middle of a bunch of water with 4,000 strangers has never appealed to me. Now I’m absolutely sure that unless I’m Shanghied, it’ll never happen.
Carnival Cruises seems to be having some rather large brawls break out and they have understaffed their security guards. Plus, international water and legal jurisdiction is an issue as far as getting folks arrested.
Check out the article at the Daily Mail for some videos.
Carnival has quite the rep, which is well earned, as a low-cost, low-class, drunk party boat. Unless you're into that sort of thing, better to choose another cruise line that wouldn't put up with that sort of thing.

the law of the sea used to be that what the captain says is the law unless the captain is proven incompetent. i guess that rule does not apply to these vacation boats.

“The thought of being trapped on a ship in the middle of a bunch of water with 4,000 strangers has never appealed to me.”One of the primary rules is “always have an escape route,” followed by “always have a backup, too.” I wonder what the escape procedure is while surrounded by miles of deep water; that any such salvation lies solely in the hands of whomever's marginal, and undetectable, competence is more than sufficient cause to strenuously avoid any degree of interaction.
