Cruise ships are generally considered safe but there are several problem areas:

Food - Norwalk-like viruses are common aboard ships. These are typically transmitted by contaminated food and food service.

Personal Safety aboard ship - There is no single, easily available source for law enforcement data for crimes aboard ships. Anecdotal stories and news investigations indicate that rape and less than consensual sex may be common on some lines.

Personal Safety ashore - The cruise lines do not guarantee safety ashore. Many cruise passengers have been robbed, assaulted, or had other serious crimes as they unwittingly entered dangerous areas ashore.
