>how accurate do you think this is?
As someone who works in the cruise industry, very. Let's break them all down.
>someone is getting pregnant
Invariably.
>they won't be able to stay on the ship
This is industry standard because if you've never been on a cruise ship (and I assume most of fedi hasn't), the medical facilities are not equipped to handle delivering a baby, or god forbid anything worse.
>someone will try to "fetus deletus"
Now I haven't seen anything in our company's records that indicate this has happened, but it's highly plausible, cruises like these are often booked years in advance
>a thief on board
Again, highly likely, especially if it's a "connected" stateroom and someone is careless
>a kid will go missing temporarily
There are specific procedures in place, at least for my company they can pull the logs from the kid's wristband, which shows were they were (you use the wristband to get into stuff like arcades, you use it to pay for drinks and stuff, etc.) and that makes it so much easier. Not sure about RC though.
>remote workers, someone will lose their job
I have a feeling that anyone whose remote job is latency intolerant probably isn't going to be doing that work on the ship. It's satellite internet which means it can be disrupted quite easily, by anything from clouds, to a storm, to the sun being between the path of the satellite and the ship (cf. Sun outages).
>there will be a viral outbreak
This is less common than it used to be, and thankfully due to strict sanitation protocols set by various organizations. My company in particular has not had a single Norovirus outbreak since 2011. However due to the nature of cruise ships, outbreaks spread incredibly rapidly.
>one person trying to claim it's a hoax
This one I'm calling bullshit on, if you've ever been in something like a college dorm and you've seen something viral/bacterial sweep through the dorm — it's not a hoax, it's actually kinda scary.
>couples getting together, breaking up, cheating
This is an almost guaranteed occurrence on any long cruise. This also ties in to №1.
>influencer drama
This will 100% be manufactured, I guarantee it.
>someone will fall off the ship at least once
There are protocols in place to handle this on the ships — I cannot say more due to NDA restrictions.
>developing a gambling addiction
Hi, former casino staff here, we know exactly who the gambling addicts are, and despite that it makes us more money to enable them, it's legally risky so we generally gently push them to the less risk-heavy games.
>mental health is going to deteriorate
Hey fun fact, this is why we encourage people to get off the ship on port days. Trust me, even if you're just getting off the ship and wandering around the city for a few hours, we strongly encourage that.
@graf working as onboard "wet" staff was exhausting, you don't get paid enough, everyone is at some level of inebriated even at 6am, except the staff and children. You don't get paid enough, buuuut, sometimes you get a day or two at whatever destination, now I work "dry" staff, and it's certainly less exhausting @Kerosene@PsyOptssoldier@sjw@Kyou@PanzerTan@ferrarilegends@yockeypuck@MasterSimper
@sjw Man, real world rich people are so lame. Imagine what you could do if you were in their position
>steer ship to the middle of the pacific in the dead of night
>remote announcement early in the morning in every room
>"dear passengers, starting now the battle royal will officially commence"
>"also shrimp will no longer be offered in the evening buffet"
>turn all CCTV cameras on and stream it online behind a paywall
@sjw You forgot that these cruises sell out extremely quickly. My company is almost sold out for 2025, and the wait list for 2026 is occurring soon. @Kerosene
@Kyou@graf@sjw There are adventure cruises where you sail to the Arctic or the Antarctic that are probably cool, see places you'll neve see any other way, but pottering around the world in a giant floating apartment filled with old people and respiratory diseases is a strange idea of fun.
