“The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2009”

As cruise passengers we all should be aware of “The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2009” and the astonishing role Ken Carver and the International Cruise Victims Association has played in bringing the new bill this far. It is without a doubt, the most important advance in securing the safety of us all on cruise ships today.

We have all seen the headlines of "foul play" at sea, missing passengers and rape and sexual assault. And we've all seen snippets of accusations that the cruise lines were not taking responsibility for investigating these crimes at sea.

What we haven't seen is the behind the scenes efforts of people like the members of the International Cruise Victims Association, set up to support victims and families of victims, advocating for legislative reform.

It is only because of them that the “The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2009” actually exists, and it is only because of them that cruising may just become a little safer for us all.

For more details of the “The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2009”, take a look at http://www.prowsedge.com/cruise-vessel-security-and-safety-act-2009.html or go directly to the International Cruise Victims Association for news about the issue of safety at sea.
