Sorry if you felt called out, as I know other people have said similar. In all honesty I've had enough, I feel like my conduct is being called into question, and I'm having a hard enough time as it is (I keep going over the situation it's keeping me up at night) without this thread making me feel worse. Can I shut this thread down? I got the answer I needed to my op and now it's just making me go over and over it all again, Im ready to just move on, as it's clear I can't do anything about it.

Thanks, but this isn't what I asked for opinions on!

Yes I know the difference.

Yes that sounds good, but I saw him several times again and he was laughing at me. They certainly didn't say he had to stay away from me.

Maybe banned from that cruise line. Everyone I met on the ship (the ten people at my dinner table) all thought he should have been disembarked.

I can't explain it, but the way they were with me and the offhandness etc I could just tell they were not interested and didn't do anything, it took 4 days from the incident till then telling me, he had been located and spoken too.

Yes, but I'm sure as a valued passenger they would have at least assured me, that even if they couldn't tell me what, that something was done and I was safe....but clearly nothing was done As they basically told me all they could do was chat with him.

They wouldn't want me to to feel safe??

I understand what a few people have said that walking away is often best. I agree on some level, but I also have a strong desire to stand up for what is right. Often at home I do just walk away as I never know what someone is capable of. The trouble is on a crowded cruise ship, being unwell with a chest infection, it had taken a lot of effort to find a quiet spot away from smokers, and honestly I didn't want or really have the energy to move. I guess I felt safer on a cruise ship, knowing they are unlikely to have weapons and knowing they can't run away.

Exactly, they just heard what they wanted and were clearly racially profiling, it was so awkward, I kept saying he was white! So they finally stopped showing us photos and said come back tomorrow, and then they had pics of white men, I identified him on the 2nd picture

We looked everywhere... There really were none, except casino - none in corridors or lifts, none in public areas unless they had heavily invested in hidden cameras! Which I doubt on this 20 year old ship

I wish there was video, but afterwards we looked and the only cameras onboard that we could see were in the casino

Also I just remembered, I asked the ship what I needed to do if I want to involve the police, they said they don't ever involve the police but if I wanted too I would have to do it at next port of call. Which after all the responses here, I now know was incorrect information

My boyfriend is quite shy and also not good with other languages, so he did try to push it higher, but they pushed back at us harder saying they couldn't do anything. Interestingly we looked for cameras and the only place on the ship that had CCTV was in the casino.

That's what I and everyone at my dinner table expected. On this website is a article '11 ways to get kicked off a cruise'. He did 2 of them, bringing on drugs and behaving in a disorderly manor.
