Recent concerns over crimes experienced on cruise ships has prompted the need for a cruise ship safety bill. The bill  would require for an “ocean ranger” to be present on all ships to promote passenger safety. The rangers would act as security guards, monitoring public safety and ensuring that cruise ships comply with safety and environmental regulations. Currently focusing on California ports, the bill would give California the strictest cruise ship regulations in the country.

Crimes on cruise ships seemed to have escaladed over recent years. Reports of theft, sexual assault, and missing persons have all resulted in an ever-growing number of lawsuits against cruise lines.

The cruise line industry reports that it has zero tolerance for crime, however, the increase in reported crimes occuring on cruise ships would prove otherwise.
