Take me away...
Oh, WHEN WILL IT ALL END.
Apparently:
'Passengers on P and O Cruises who engage in "excessive behaviour" will be removed from the ship, the company's Australian branch said Wednesday, after it emerged that nudity, streaking and sex in public were common on one luxury liner...
A former night manager on the liner told the inquest on Monday that as many as 20 peoplw ould be seen running around the ship naked every night.
Asked if nudity, streaking and sex in public were common during her more than 10 years working on board cruise ships, manager Kathleen Ann Taylor sad: "All the time"...
The company will now use drug sniffer dogs at the start of all cruises and has revised its policy in relation to the provision of alcohol.'
Honestly. First they try and lure us in with this:
And then they tell us we CAN'T DO NUDIE RUNS MID-CRUISE.
Why go on a P and O Cruise if you're not able to drink to excess, drug naive and innocent women and randomly embark on a sex rampage like a fucking pig?
If they keep this up, our friends at P and O may lose their otherwise pristine reputation.
499 days til the next election.

What the devil is "excessive behaviour" anyway? Are we only allowed to sleep?
Gawd! Anyone would think they were frantically covering arse!
That police interview they played at the Brimble inquiry made me feel physically ill ... Your description of Silvestri as a 'f*cking pig' is spot on, Fits.
but only a little arse dr nic, those string bikinis have got all them little holes in them after all...
Quick, dump your P and O shares. With this new policy nobody will be sailing.
I just pity the poor town/country that picks up the slack
A Riddle...
Q. Where the Bloody Hell Are You?
(clue) Seamen Wanted.
A. Staying the fuck away from holidays on Australian cruise ships.
It's streakers like you giving P and O the poor reputation they have today, earthsmoltencore.
I think P&O could be in a spot of bother - everyone is fairly clear on why people go on the cruises - to get drunk, consume all you can eat buffets and hopefully get laid. Restrict the punter's ability to get what they want - business goes down the toilet. Oh what a shame. Not.
Silvestri is not a 'f*cking pig'.
Pigs don’t pack rape blameless women, drug them with fatal doses of poison and then take digtal pictures to muse over later.
May he and his cohorts be raped in prison repeatedly; so much so that their arses prolapse and will require colostomy bags strapped to their thighs in order to eliminate.
Can some actual legal-head (not someone who self-qualified from watching Ally McBeal)explain how the inquest fits in with criminal charges. Can the coroner make recommendations that the dudes are charged? or is all that too long ago/jurisdicion/evidence not retained etc...
Pigs in pens all over the world are recoiling in horror!
Mud does stick ya know.
Pigs look, smell and behave waaaay better than that fucktard.
If there can be a positive note found in this post at all, surely this has to be it:
499 days to the next election.
Woot! Down into the 400s!
And, of course, Silvestri and his gang of neanderthals deserve to be castrated. There really are no words to describe them and what they did adequately, except to say that they and that bastard that raped and murdered the little girl in Perth are scarily good arguments for the occasional use of the death penalty - and I am ANTI capital punishment.
My qualifications to answer the question from surlypat extend to being “an actual legal head” (which I will now put on my business cards) and having been involved in one inquest and one appeal to the Supreme Court, against the result of a different inquest. The issues were police shootings and deaths in custody, so nothing about cruise ships. But I’ll give it a go anyway
I have no idea whether anyone will be charged, since I don’t know how strong the evidence is, where the ship was or pretty much anything else useful, and I do not wish to be like the utter fools who went on TV to give their opinions on Schapelle Corby without knowing the first thing about the evidence in that case.
The CORONERS ACT 2003 (South Australia) includes the following sections
25—Findings on inquests
(1) The Coroner's Court must, as soon as practicable after the completion of an inquest, give its findings in writing setting out as far as has been ascertained the cause and circumstances of the event that was the subject of the inquest.
(2) The Court may add to its findings any recommendation that might, in the opinion of the Court, prevent, or reduce the likelihood of, a recurrence of an event similar to the event that was the subject of the inquest.
(3)However, the Court must not make any finding, or suggestion, of criminal or civil liability.
37—Accessibility of evidence etc
(1) Subject to this section, the State Coroner must, on application by a member of the public, allow the applicant to inspect or obtain a copy of any of the following:
(a) any process relating to proceedings and forming part of the records of the Coroner's Court;
(b) a transcript of evidence taken by the Court in any proceedings;
(c) any documentary material admitted into evidence in any proceedings;
(d) a transcript of the written findings and any recommendations of the Court;
(e) an order made by the Court.
Yes, that’s right, under the South Australia legislation, the coroner can not make any finding OR SUGGESTION of criminal liability.
The good news is that, in Victoria at least, evidence given in an inquest is not privileged so it can be used in a future criminal prosecution. On a quick scan of the South Australia legislation, I couldn’t find anything to suggest the rules are any different there.
So all the evidence that the coroner hears can be used in criminal proceedings, and lets hope it is, and soon.
I should add that I’m planning to move to Adelaide and I need a job, (and how cool would it be to find one through RYWHM) so any South Australian legal heads who are hiring and who like my work so far should leave their details in the comments section.
Who'd go on a cruise ship anyway? It would be like being stuck in an elevator with 800 of the biggest wankers you ever met in nightclubs in your life and you pay $2000 to sleep in a cupboard. I'd jump overboard by Williamstown!
i wonder what constitute excessive behaviour.
abstinence on a cruise is excessive, i think.
"Nothing much has changed" said my Dad when I discussed the Brimble case with him today. He was a steward and Barman on the P&O lines in the early seventies and can recount some truly horrific tales.
The problem we have in all maritime crimes of this type is that justice is 'ad hoc' and reliant entirely on the vague 'laws of the sea'.
In the old days, nobody would have batted an eyelid if that animal Silvestri was given a good going over and thrown overboard by the Goan engineers. Perhaps there is something to be said for old fashioned justice afterall.
I'm Not Craig - I come from Adelaide and I have it on good authority that Norman Waterhouse are looking....
I'm Not Craig, thanks for your response. Working as a bike-courier, I have encountered nearly all legal-heads in SA. If you want a recommendation based on whose receptionist is the biggest bitch, or who wears head-to-toe Rodd & Gunn on casual Friday, I'm your man. Fisher-Jeffries have a seemingly inexhaustible supply of individually wrapped Kool-mints if this sways your decision?
So, gone are the days when it was a cruise on "Fairstar - the Fuck Ship"???....There goes my dating plans.
I'm concerned about sniffer dogs that can tell if you are going to later run around the ship naked. And what are they going to do, stop serving alcohol on board? Surely that would cause more problems.
But yes, passengers should not be allowed to do anything excessive. All talking should be kept to a reasonable volume, sleep monitored closely and good times kept to level best described as "pleasant".
