Kana zororo rechikepe parinopera zvinosuruvarisa, ndiani ane mhosva?

Pfungwa yekuenda kudivi rechikepe chechikepe inotyisa. Iminiti imwe chete munhu anenge akamira zvakanaka, uye mutakurwi wacho anenge anyura nhurikidzwa dzinoverengeka mumvura ine inky, kazhinji kacho isingazooneki zvakare.

Inyaya yakanyorwa kakawanda ikozvino kuti kufamba nechikepe kwave kuwedzera kukwanisika nengarava dzakavakwa kuti dzibate vanhu veguta diki. Asi pakati pekupokana kuri kuramba kuchikwira pamusoro pekuchengetedza indasitiri yezvikepe, vemukati vanoti vafambi nevashandi vanofanirwa kutora mutoro wakawanda wekuchengetedza kwavo.

"Kwave nekudhakwa kwakawanda kupfuura zvandakaona kare," akadaro Douglas Ward, nyanzvi yekufamba nechikepe yakaongorora indasitiri iyi kwemakore makumi mana nematatu.

Ward, anogara kuSouthampton, England, uye akanyora zvinopfuura makumi maviri ezvinyorwa zve "Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships," akaudza ABCNews.com kuti vanhu vazhinji vanoenda muchikepe vanoita izvi usiku mushure mekudhakwa kwakanyanya. .

Mumavhiki mashoma apfuura, vanhu vaviri vakakwira pamusoro pezvikepe zvikuru zvekufamba. Jennifer Ellis Seitz, makumi matatu nematanhatu, akaenda pamusoro pemhanza yeNorwegian Pearl chikepe cheKisimusi manheru. Kunyange mhuri yake yati mukadzi weFlorida anogona kunge akasvetuka, zviremera zvichiri kuferefeta.

Vhiki imwe gare gare, paZuva reGore Idzva, mumwe murume akazivikanwa semushandi weCarnival Sensation, Antonio Matabang wekuCalifornia, akaenda muchikepe - vamwe vevashandi vakamuona achidonha kubva mungarava padyo nemhenderekedzo yeFlorida. Kutsvaga mutumbi wake kwambomiswa.

Nekuti mitsara yekufamba nechikepe haitauri mhosva netsaona kune mumwe mukuru mukuru, zvakaoma kuyera chaizvo kuti vangani vanhu vanodarika gore rega rega. Imwe webhusaiti isina kurongeka inoisa huwandu hwa2008 pasere, kubva pamakumi maviri muna 20 uye 2007 muna 22.

"Mabhodhi anogara achiita seanobva kungarava hombe," akadaro Ward.

Idzo dzinogona kunge dziri "ngarava dzekuzorora" dzinotonga indasitiri - idzo dzinofambiswa nemitsara yemazuva ese seHolland America, Carnival, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean International uye Norwegian Cruise Lines inogona kutakura zviuru zvevafambi nevashandi panguva.

Nepo rwendo rwaimbove rwevakakwirira chete, zvikepe zvakakura uye matikiti akachipa zvakavaita zororo remunhu wese anogona kuwana - vanhu vakura vanorarama nemari yakatarwa, mhuri dzine vana vadiki, vadzidzi vekoreji.

"Sezvo zera rinodzikira, inyaya yekunwa uye kushamisira," akadaro Ward.

Muna 2008, vanhu vangangosvika mamirioni gumi nematanhatu vakatora nzendo, vanopfuura mamirioni gumi nevaviri veAmerica, Ward akadaro. Izvi zvinobva kune vanenge 16.8 miriyoni vanofamba nechikepe muna 11 uye 9.4 muna 1999.

Nepo chiitiko chega chega chiri pamusoro pechikepe chinowanzoita misoro yenhau, nhamba yevanhu vanoenda mhiri kwengarava idiki kana ichienzaniswa nenhamba yevatakuri vakatakurwa zvakachengeteka.

"Iwo chikamu chidiki kwazvo," Ward akadaro. “Chokwadi, hapana chatinoda.”

Kunyange Carnival isati yaburitsa ruzivo nezvekutsakatika kwaMatabang kunze kwekungoti yaitsvaga mushandi mumvura, Ward akati akaudzwa kuti Matabang anga akamira pachiteshi chengarava achitsvaga mufananidzo, “izvo zvinorambidzwa zvachose” uye “benzi. mungarava inofamba.”

Kutarisa Vatyairi

Nepo vashandi vezvikepe zvechikepe vasingakwanise kuona muenzi wese nguva dzese, vekufamba nechikepe vakati vanga vachichinja kuchengetedza kuchengetedza huwandu huri kukura hwevafambi.

Gary Bald ndiye mutevedzeri wemutungamiri wepamusoro uye mukuru wezvekuchengetedza pasi rose weRoyal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., kambani yevabereki yeRoyal Caribbean International uye Celebrity Cruises pakati pezvimwe mhando.

Bald, aimbova mukuru webazi rekuchengetedzwa kwenyika reFBI, akati Royal Caribbean yakagara iine makamera ekuchengetedza mungarava dzayo, kunyange zvazvo kambani yakawedzera zvikuru nhamba yemakamera mumakore akati wandei apfuura, mune dzimwe nguva nemazana pangarava.

Royal Caribbean's Rusununguko rweMakungwa, parizvino chikepe chikuru chekufamba mumakungwa chine nzvimbo yevapfuuri zviuru zvitatu nemazana matanhatu, chine makamera ari pakati pemazana manomwe nemazana masere, akadaro Bald. Uye mazhinji anofambiswa.

Kunyange zvazvo makamera asingatarisirwi nguva dzose, makamera anoshandura apo kufamba kunoonekwa uye kunyora masekondi makumi matatu kusati kwatanga kufamba uye 30 seconds mushure mokunge kufamba kwamira.

Hurefu hwenguva iyo mafaera - ikozvino edhijitari panzvimbo yematepi ekare eanalog - anochengetwa anosiyana, Bald akadaro. Matepi emufambi ari pamusoro pechikepe anochengetwa nekusingaperi, nepo mifananidzo kubva murwendo rusina chiitiko inogona kucheneswa.

Kufanana nezvimwe zvakawanda zvezvikepe zvakakura zvemhando yekutandarira, zvikepe zveRoyal Caribbean zvinotakurawo zvikepe zvidiki zvekununura zvinogona kutumirwa kunotsvaga kana paine munhu anozivikanwa kuti anokwira.

Carnival yakapindura ne-e-mail kumibvunzo nezve kuchengetedzwa kwengarava dzayo, ichiti vashandi vanowana kudzidziswa kwakasarudzika mukuchengetedza humbowo hunotariswa neFBI.

"Uyezve, vese vashandi vekuchengetedza vanowana dzidziso inoenderera nguva nenguva," iyo e-mail yakadaro. "Kudzokororwa kwekudzidziswa kunosanganisira zvigadziriso pane chero nzira nyowani dzekuchengetedza, pamwe nekudzidziswa munzvimbo dzakakosha sehugandanga, kuona mabhomba, dambudziko uye kutonga kwevanhu vazhinji, rubatsiro rwekutanga, kudzima moto nekudzivirira moto."

Norwegian Cruise Lines yakaramba kupindura mibvunzo chaiyo asi yakaburitsa chirevo, ichiti, "Tine akati wandei ekuchengetedza nekuchengetedza nhanho, kusanganisira kuchengetedza uye kuchengetedza kwezvakatipoteredza system iyo inoshandiswa nengarava dzedu inodonongodza maitiro ekutora chiitiko chinoitika."

Chii chakaitika kuna Merrian?

Asi kunyangwe nekuchengetedzwa kwakavandudzwa uye kudzidziswa, njodzi dzinoitika.

Ken Carver akatanga International Cruise Victims, boka rinomiririra uye rinotsigira revapari vengarava uye vakawirwa netsaona nemhuri dzavo, mushure mekunge mwanasikana wake Merrian Carver anyangarika panguva yerwendo rwaNyamavhuvhu 2004 kuenda kuAlaska mu Celebrity Mercury.

Carver, uyo ane makore makumi manomwe nemaviri akaita ICV basa rake idzva renguva yakazara, akati akafonerwa nemwanasikana waMerrian achiti amai vake vanga vasiri kufona. Hazvizivikanwi kumhuri - Carver akati mwanasikana wake akanga ane mweya wakasununguka - Merrian, makumi mana, akanga atora rwendo uye akakwira muna Aug. 72, sezvakataurwa nemarisiti emakadhi echikwereti uye zvinyorwa kubva kune Celebrity.

Asi vakuru vezvikepe havana kukwanisa kuudza Carver kana mwanasikana wake akamboburuka. Uye, akazoziva, mushandi wekambani akaudza mutariri wechikepe kuti Merrian akarega kushandisa kamuri yake mushure meusiku hwechipiri hwechikepe.

Mutariri haana kumbotaura zvakawanikwa nomurindiri.

"Akaudzwa kuti akanganwe uye aite basa rake," akadaro Carver.

Merrian Carver haana kuzombonzwika kubva zvakare. Carver akati akanzwa runyerekupe mumakore apfuura ekuti mwanasikana wake aidanana nemukuru webasa uyo akaramba kutaura zvainetsa muchengeti wemba, asi akati "hazvigone kuratidza."

Carver akati akahaya mutikitivha uye akashandisa makumi ezviuru zvemadhora achitsvaga zviitiko zvemwanasikana wake zvekupedzisira kuzivikanwa asati amhan'ara Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

Mune chirevo, Royal Caribbean yakaona kuti ongororo yeFBI yakagumisa kuti pakanga pasina humbowo hwekutamba kwakashata maererano nekutsakatika kwaMerian Carver.

“Mukati menguva imwe cheteyo, takadzidza kuna baba vake kuti Mai Carver vaiva nezvinetso zvendangariro uye vakanga vamboedza kuzviuraya, izvo vanoratidzika kuva vakaita mungarava yedu,” chirevo chakarava.

Kambani yekufamba nechikepe yakaguma yagadzirisana naCarver kunze kwedare nemari isingazivikanwe.

"Ndinoziva zvakaitika kuna Merrian?" akati. “Mwari chete ndivo vanoziva.”

Bald akati chiitiko cheCarver chakurudzira Royal Caribbean kuti iite shanduko, kusanganisira kuda kuti vafambi vese vatsvete makadhi ekuzivikanwa akaburitswa nechikepe kwete chete kana vapinda mungarava asi kana vaburuka.

Izvozvo zvingave zvakabatsira munyaya yaCarver, nokuti zviremera hazvizivi kuti akaenda muchikepe here kana kuti akasiya ngarava ari ega pachiteshi chengarava.

"Tinodzidza kubva pane zvese zvakaitika," akadaro.

Zvakadaro, Bald akati, "takakanganisa pane izvi uye hapana kuzviramba."

Chekutanga, akadaro, pakanga paine musanganiswa-mukukurukurirana pamusoro pematepi ekutarisa kubva kurwendo rweMerian Carver. Ken Carver akaudzwa zvisiri izvo kuti matepi akange akandwa kunze mavhiki mashoma mushure mekunge rwendo rwapera, izvo zvavakanga vasina.

Iwo matepi, analogi panguva iyoyo, haana kuratidza chero mifananidzo yaMerrian Carver zvachose, Bald akadaro, asi matepi akadzoserwa pasherufu uye akazorasika paaifanira kunge aponeswa.

Supervisor uyo sezviri pachena akatadza kuzivisa chirevo chemushakabvu wekutsakatika kwaCarver akamiswa, akadaro Bald.

Kubva pakanyangarika Merrian Carver, Ken Carver anga ari mutsigiri wemitemo pakugadzirisa indasitiri yezvikepe.

Mabhiri akaunzwa muUnited States mumakore mashoma apfuura akanangana neindasitiri yekufamba nechikepe, kusanganisira mabhiri akabatanidzwa eImba neSeneti aidaidzira kutaurwa kwehutsotsi hwakafanana uye mhinduro yakavandudzwa.

Kusvika pari zvino, hapana kana rimwe remabhiri akapasa.

'Mhosva Yakakwana'

Aimbove Mumiriri weUS, Christopher Shays, wekuConnecticut Republican uyo asina kugadzwa musarudzo dzaMbudzi, akagadzirisa indasitiri yezvikepe sechirongwa chake mushure mekutevera nyaya yaGeorge Smith, murume weGreenwich achangoroora, akapinda muchikepe nechikepe cheRoyal Caribbean panguva yake yekuchata muna 2005.

Mhosva yaSmith yakagamuchira kutariswa kwenyika uye yakakonzera kunzwa kwekongiresi uye kudzorera kuRoyal Caribbean, iyo yaipomerwa mhosva panguva yekutora nzira yakaipa pachiitiko ichi.

Shays akaudza ABCNews.com kuti ngarava "inzvimbo yekupara mhosva yakakwana."

“Haudi chombo chikuru, uye umboo hwako hunonyangarika,” akadaro. “Vanoti iguta diki, asi havana munhu arimo anogona kuferefeta mhosva.

Shays akatsanangura indasitiri yezvikepe se "ine simba" uye akati kusvika pari zvino yabudirira kuvharidzira chero kuedza kwekuchinja.

Asi Bald akaseka pfungwa yekuti rwendo rwake, zvirinani, haaite zvakakwana kana mhosva dzikaitika muchikepe.

“Mhinduro yangu kwavari izita ratisina kutaura,” akadaro. "Uye hapana anogona kudoma rimwe chete."

Mazhinji mitsara yekufamba nechikepe, Bald akadaro, akasaina chibvumirano chekuzvipira kwenyika muna 1999 chinoda kuti mhosva dzese dzimhan'arwe kubazi rinoona nezvemitemo rine masimba, zvichienderana nekuti chikepe chiri papi panguva iyoyo.

Mutemo wemugungwa unodawo kuti mhosva dzese dziri mungarava dzezvikepe dzimhan'arwe kunyika uko ngarava inocherechedzwa - Greece, Panama neBahamas ndidzo nhatu dzinonyanya kuzivikanwa mureza wenyika. MuUnited States, mitsara yekufamba nechikepe ine chibvumirano neFBI neCoast Guard kuti vataure mhosva mumvura yeUS kana kubatanidza vagari vemuUS.

Dzimwe nyika, Bald akadaro, dzine mitemo yadzo ine chekuita nemhosva dziri mungarava dzezvikepe.

Aimbove mushandi wechikepe chechikepe Brian David Bruns, akanyora "Cruise Confidential" zvichienderana neruzivo rwake senhengo yevashandi veCarnival, akati kune tsaona shoma mungarava dzekufamba kupfuura zvingafungwa nevanhu.

"Asi mukomana, inoita nyaya yakanaka," akadaro.

Bruns akati aishanda pakati pehusiku buffet muna 2003 apo mufambi akapinda muchikepe pedyo neGulf Coast. Runyerekupe, akadaro, rwakabva rwatanga kutenderera ngarava payakatanga kutenderera ichidzokera kwainge kwapedzisira kuonekwa mukadzi uyu.

Magwa okununura akabudiswa, asi mutumbi womukadzi wacho hauna kudzorerwa kutozosvikira wakanyura pamhenderekedzo imwe nguva gare gare. Bruns akati akatenda kuti mukadzi uyu akazviuraya.

Bruns akati zviri nyore kunzwira tsitsi mhuri yemunhu akapinda muchikepe achipomera rwendo rwechikepe, asi kutaura zvazviri, "kune dziviriro yakawandisa yaunogona kumisikidza kudzivirira vanhu kuti vasapfuura njanji."

Ward akabvuma. Anoona nzvimbo yekuvandudzwa kubva kune vese vafambi uye indasitiri yekufamba nechikepe, kunyangwe zvimwe zvakanyanya kune vafambi.

“Pane mukana wekuvandudza nguva dzose,” akadaro. "Uye ndinofunga indasitiri inogona kuita zvishoma, kunyanya kana zvine chekuita nekuchengetedza."

Ngarava dzengarava dzinofanira kuramba dzichiisa mamwe makamera, akadaro. Nezvekuwedzera nguva yekupindura, Ward akati kutsvaga kwengarava kwave kuitika. Kana mumwe munhu achizivikanwa kuti anofamba pamusoro pemvura, nzira dzekununura dzinotangwa nekukasira, kunyangwe zvichitora mamaira akati wandei kuti ngarava imire zvachose, uye kutendeuka kwe360-degree kunofanirwa kuitwa zvishoma nezvishoma kuitira kuti isaite kuti ngarava inyore mumvura. .

VaBartenders, akadaro, vanogonawo kuziva zvakanyanya nezvekudya kwevatengi vavo.

Padivi, Ward akati, vafambi "vanongoda kunwa zvine musoro."

“Vanofanira kuziva kuti ngarava dziri kufamba zvinhu,” akadaro, “uye njanji dziripo nechinangwa.”
