As a person who was responsible for monitoring youth and their safety, you may think others are doing a nice job. But like all things it will not be 24/7. Some Young people will look to avoid supervision. They do not have the understanding of how deadly the sea is and especially if judgement is impaired, go onto locations on even that safe luxury liner that are as dangerous as those on a small craft. In addition to mental judgement, their physical abilities will also be impaired.

In general all public locations on a liner are as safe as down below in a smaller boat. I would not expect a Captain to wear a life jacket, unless abandoning ship. The Captain as skipper has on and off duty times. I am not familiar with the rules and regs. So I do not know what is allowed. I know I simply would never drink, even wine.

My systems failure analysis work forces me to be far more cautious. It may be I have far far better vision of the real dangers or I am simply by nature more risk averse.
