Cruise lines appear to be experts at losing videotapes and other evidence of assaults or raped females or children being thrown overboard. Cruise and dock at foreign ports at your own risk, especially if a single woman drinking and caring for kids during dinner at restaurants with no chaperone. You could be jumped on a shore excursion or hijacked by pirates and forced to perform sex acts in exchange for your life. Worse, your attackers can still throw you into the sea. As you fall to your death, it is no comfort if the criminal is arrested and convicted of manslaughter. Your life will still be over!
