Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto After all the COVID outbreaks and nonstop horror stories of illness, isolation, and trouble at sea, I felt completely confident in my assessment that cruises are from the Bad Place. Now, my suspicions have been confirmed. Three Crystal Cruise ships have been arrested — not the captain, not the CEOs, the actual ships.
The fugitive ship was supposed to dock in Miami on January 22, but instead headed to the Bahamas after Crystal Cruises was sued by Peninsula Petroleum Far East for unpaid fuel bills. The suit alleged that the Crystal Symphony owed $1.2 million, which was just one-fourth of Crystal Cruise’s alleged $4.6 million debt. As soon as the judge ordered the arrest warrant, Crystal Symphony changed course, sending the 300 passengers still onboard back to the U.S.
After over a week of hiding out in the Bahamas, the Crystal Symphony was finally boarded by authorities on February 4, per Cruise Hive, prompting the captain to issue this announcement: “The ship has been placed under arrest by the local authorities over some unpaid bills, and as bad as it sounds, it’s actually quite a good thing to happen. We’ve been told this will not affect any personnel movement.
Meanwhile, another ship, the Crystal Serenity, had been on a quest to complete its trip to Aruba, but was denied entry, forcing it to divert to the Bahamas where it was also arrested. And a third ship, the Crystal Endeavor, was reportedly arrested after completing a trip in Argentina. It’s unclear what will happen to the ships now that they’ve been taken into custody, but Crystal Cruises appears to be done for the time being.

Benicia sideshow leads to one arrest; stores in area robbed and vandalizedPolice say 300 people attended a sideshow in Benicia and one person was arrested for alleged reckless driving and possession of a controlled substance. Some businesses were vandalized and burglarized by people who attended the sideshow, police said. 1 person. That should send a message. Who are the people that participate & attend these? If you were profiling, what is the story behind side show types? What culture do they come from, and do their parents know or care about the type of people they raised? They seem to care in lawsuits, but NEVER enough before. It’s all fun and games until the sideshow participants become targets of vigilantism with deadly force. It won’t be long until someone grows too weary of the shenanigans and snaps.
