While a general, festive cruise atmosphere might keep crime low, humans are still humans and can commit the same acts no matter where, when, or what, given the right conditions and predispositions. After all, the TSA has caught folks trying to smuggle guns on planes in peanut butter (and other absurd methods). If you're out and about in a European city, let's say, wearing flashy clothes might make you a target for pickpockets. Then there are the more serious crimes that occur on board cruises, like those in the FBI's Q1 2025 report. That's a serious statement, and goes a long way to ensure personal safety, much like not walking down an unknown alleyway in a city at night, alone and inebriated.
