Creator's Key Takeaways
Under United States law, once a cruise ship is more than 3 miles from shore, it is completely legal to dump raw sewage directly into the ocean.
The average cruise ship outbreak affects roughly 3% of passengers. On a ship of 4,000 people, that is about 120 people, which means 3,880 people are having a perfectly wonderful vacation.
International maritime law requires every cruise ship sailing today to carry lifeboat capacity for 125% of everyone on board.
Your cabin is cleaner than most hotel rooms you've ever stayed in.
