Are Cruise Ships dangerous?

With the amount of missing people being
reported day by day. It is obvious the ships
are failing a serious safety test.
The ships should all be outlawed and new
ones built that are able to better prevent
people falling or being tossed over.....
If that was the case...which I doubt.
A review of all staff and their presence on
ships with missing passengers should be
reviewed...
