However, cruise fires do happen, and they can be dangerous if they get out of control because there’s nowhere to escape to on a ship.

Most people sign up for a cruise to escape the pressures of daily life.

However, if you are assaulted while on a cruise, your peace of mind can be destroyed, and you may have grounds for a lawsuit.

That’s exactly what happened to one woman who was sailing on a Celebrity Cruise ship in August 2017 and decided to agree to a crew member’s offer for a complimentary massage. The crew member led her to the ship’s spa area and allegedly convinced her to undress and fondled her before she escaped the room.

New England and Atlantic Canada are famous for their brilliant fall foliage. Also famous in New England is the horrendous traffic caused by all the leaf peepers, so cruising is a spectacular way to take in the fall foliage from the luxury of a cruise ship.

New England cruises typically depart from Boston or New York, and sail up to Nova Scotia or even along the Saint Lawrence river farther north. Common ports of call are located in Maine, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
