They want a lot of alcohol consumed.

They really push the alcohol consumption, and they just want people to have the time of their life and come back and cruise again.

The problem is you don't know who the people are that you're cruising with.

So you could be cruising with murderers, child predators, and all sorts of criminals.

They let everybody on the ship.

So who knows who is in this line dance with this poor young lady?

100%, Nancy.

I've investigated thousands of these cases, and in my 35 years, alcohol is almost always present, even with minors.

Carnival may be taking the position they didn't serve alcohol to the minor, but that doesn't prevent her from consuming it because there's 101 ways someone can get booze on a cruise.

even if they bring it on themselves.

So it doesn't mean Carnival served it to her necessarily, but I would bet you the toxicology is going to come back with alcohol.

So all the common areas of these ships, Nancy, are wired like a casino.

They have high definition CCTV footage that will capture with facial recognition software any passenger at any time, anywhere on the ship that's a common area.

So for sure, they have video that will track Anna from the moment she got on the ship until she was last seen entering her cabin.

And they also have electronic key cards that will time whose card was used to get in that cabin at what time and when the door opened and shut.

So they can piece this entire thing together and have a very succinct timeline of what happened to her.

Yeah, it's very sad, Nancy.

It's not uncommon for parents to turn a blind eye on their kids on these cruises.

They get lulled away into the false sense of security that these cruise ships are safe.

And I've had many cases with kids of all ages that are walking around unsupervised at all hours of the night on these cruise ships, and they're not safe.
