Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it is reasonable for the cruise line to expect the parents to compensate them for the extra $2,500 that it cost the cruise ship to perform this maneuver.

Royal Caribbean, if you did try to recoup this from the parents, I absolutely would support you 100%.

The bigger problem for Royal Caribbean is the impact that it might have had on onboard spending.

False alarms are a great way to keep you out of the cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Parents should be financially responsible for the cost of a false man overboard prank.
Cruise lines can quantify fuel costs for diversions and seek compensation.
