Disney decided to start putting the information on its website under the its Safety and Security tab after the other three large cruise lines - Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian - started to release the figures after industry leaders were hauled before then Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation."Consumers deserve to know what rights and protections they have and, more importantly, do not have on their cruise," said U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who chairs the senate committee.
Even with the disclosures by the four cruise lines, none of the companies say which vessels specifically were involved in the alleged incidents.
According to a U.S. Senate report released last week, cruise lines reported 130 allegations of major crimes to the FBI in 2011 and 2012, but only 31 were made public.
In the first six months of 2013:
The Disney Cruise Line reported "one claim of alleged sexual assault by a crew member against another crew member; one claim of alleged sexual assault made by a passenger against another passenger; one claim of alleged rape made by a crew member against another crew member; and, one claim of alleged rape was made by a passenger against another passenger."
Norwegian Cruise Line reported one claim of alleged assault with bodily injury by a passenger, one claim of alleged sexual assault reported by a passenger.
Norwegian Cruise Line reported one claim of alleged assault with bodily injury by a passenger, one claim of alleged sexual assault reported by a passenger.
