To the original poster, there have been horrendous crimes committed on cruise ships. I am so glad that you weren't injured or worse. Brought to my mind the man who killed his wife on a cruise near Alaska because she wouldn't stop laughing at him.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We can all learn from other cruiser's experiences. I will try to remember to call security, if anything similar happens to me while on a cruise ship. Security should have handled this differently. Disembarkation at the next port and left to find their own way home would have been in order. Perhaps, security was afraid of the man.
