Here. Hey everyone. Welcome back to Crime Weekly News. I'm Derek Lovasser.

And I'm Stephanie Harlow. And we're going to change it up a little bit tonight

because it seems like it's always

doom and gloom on this channel and we want to do a little bit more of a safety episode

where we talk about something that many of us experience, if we're lucky enough every year, and that's

cruise ships. I know Stephanie and I were talking before with this recording. She has never

been on a cruise ship, although that may change later to this year.

We're currently talking about going on the CrimeCon cruise.

Actually, tentatively, we might do it.

We don't know yet. We'll see what happens.

But we're talking about the safety of it because it's something that many people do every single year.

We have a lot of statistics tonight but there's over 31 million people

that take a cruise ship every year.

So it's probably gone up since then because that was last year.

So a lot of people are going on cruises and we do hear about incidences where people are injured or assaulted or go missing.

And it brought up a question are cruise ship safe?

Nope they're not safe no one's ever seen the Titanic.

So there's one opinion right there and the reason that this whole question came up is because on May 7th a

cruise ship worker on a Norwegian encore going from Vancouver to Alaska allegedly

attacked a woman and two security guards with a pair of scissors while on board.

This is according to the Associated Press.

This individual was later arrested by the FBI.
