The New York Times found 13 prosecutions in a decade. The DOT failed to publish required crime data for all of 2023. Settlements come with NDAs. Every piece moves in the same direction. Ships fly foreign flags for tax and jurisdictional cover. Private security employed by the cruise line handles initial investigations. The CVSSA mandates reporting but not prosecution. Deportation is the default — no charges, no trial, no record. A deported crew member has no conviction, no registry entry, and nothing preventing them from boarding another ship. One law firm reports handling over a thousand cruise assault cases, approximately one-third involving minors, most resolved with confidentiality requirements. Every NDA erases a data point from the next family’s ability to assess risk. Cruising with Predators, a Hidden Killers investigation into the system built to protect the industry.
