They have two children. I wanted to interview him because of his plain talk to his passengers over the PA system. He was irked that some passengers didn't show up for lifeboat drill. He complained that some parents were allowing their children to run wild on his ship, and every day he scolded his passengers for throwing cigarettes overboard. His ship has its own water treatment plant, and he says that the waste it puts into the ocean is almost as clean as distilled water.
Ship captains have the right to put anyone off the ship who misbehaves.
He said he had done this a couple of times. He has some security officers, a two-cell jail and requires everyone to go through a metal detector when they return to the ship after an excursion. I couldn't wait to ask him if he worried about suddenly being hit by a U. S. submarine attempting to surface. That's because the Voyager has three noisy propellers that are 16 feet in diameter. By the way, these propellers can be turned in different directions, eliminating the need for rudders.
