I was just thinking, do any cruise ships have a brig? What if some passengers get drunk and violent and they need detaining, there must be a place designed for such an event.
We took this intriguing FAQ and asked a representative from a large cruise ship company. They advised...
'Avast ye landlubber, this be a warning for ye to not partake in too much rum based friskiness and frivolity, or aarrrr ye be clapped in irons me lad and thrown into our rotten, smelly, damp, dark brig!'
Why the rep decided to talk like that, I don't know! Nor does it seem the best advert for their newly refurbished cabins. Oh well, there you have it, yes cruise ships do have prison cells; their own security forces and will then hand you over to the authorities when the ship docks.

On reflection, it might be that he was getting in practice for 'International Talk Like a Pirate Day', celebrated on 19th September each year (since 1995).
I never thought about it before, but am glad to know next time I am on a cruise, I don't have to be worried about people who commit any crimes being allowed to just keep having a good time.
