Misbehaving passengers

[LondonLad60]

This isn't about a specific incident, it's just a general query. If a passenger on a Saga cruise misbehaves to the point where they are put off the ship, I assume Saga would put them on a blacklist, and they wouldn't be allowed to cruise with Saga again. I am wondering, would Saga share the miscreant's details with other cruise lines? Similarly, if a passenger is put off during a P&O (for example) cruise, would Saga be made aware of it? In this case I would have thought that such details would be shared with all Carnival lines, but what about other lines? Could there be a potential data protection issue here? No particular reason for asking - I'm just curious.

Apparently airlines are not legally allowed to tell other airlines about disruptive/banned passengers, so seems certain that cruise lines cannot do so.

Just discovered that there is a Private Members bill trying to work through parliament to ban severely disruptive passengers from flying with airline for a set time (similar to banning drivers) which would be a good idea if it gets through.

Sadly, such information-sharing, without the consent of the individual, would breach the General Data Protection Regulations.

That was what I was wondering. Thanks for confirming.

There are exclusions to the regs such that info can be shared where doing so prevents or reduces a threat to the public. I'm not sure that would apply to disruptive cruise passengers!
