Do Disney ships have a Brig?

[Subi WRX]

Seriously.

I would assume they would have to, right?

 

[CarolAnnC]

All ships have a "brig" - they also all have a morgue. Well, speaking of all modern day cruiseliners that is..

 

[kcashner]

I don't know if they "have to," but I know that there is one.

How do you know? You weren't naughty on your last cruise, were you?

 

[L.E. Ott]

Yes, the Disney cruise ships do have a brig. It's a one room, miniature version of "It's a Small World", and if you're bad, they put you in there and force you to listen to it for the duration of the cruise. However, I'm pretty sure they can only keep you in there when in non-US waters, as I'm sure it would be classified as "Cruel and Unusual Punishment".....

....says the poster who has "caught smuggling Jello shot syringes from Pleasure Island" and "likes to shoot off her Glock" in her profile. What did you do on the cruise ship, to get your special invitation to the brig?

[RebeccaLovesDisney]

Never seen the brig myself, LOL! I am on the "right" side of the law, lolol. But I do shoot a Glock very well...

Seriously, crime at sea is a very real event. Here is a news article from this past July that shows why this particular Carnival ship had need for both the brig and the morgue... Click Here

Absolutely! for either guests OR crew .... all cruise ships have them. (and the morgue, too, unfortunately, though as I always say, "if you a helicopter landing on the landing pad, someone is NOT having a good day"...)

Outstanding!!!! It's like you read my mind of what cruel and unusual punishment would be.

I asked a crew member once and they said they had one, he also it it is not used very often. I'm sure people do break laws cruise and they have to have someplace to put the offender.

 

[winotracy]

On a recent cruise I asked this of a number of crew members. The answers I got were "Yes", "No" and "We used to". The "We used to" came from a senior officer who said that they got rid of it during the last drydock to make more room for crew. Don't know which answer is the truth but thought I would add to the discussion

I used to work for a cruise line in the 1980s and they definitely had a brig ( I remember they had a stowaway in it once) and a padded room, but I don't remember them having a morgue - I think they utilised one of the big freezers should the need arise.

 

[Pluto 2]

why are you thinking of doing something bad on ship?

Bet that keeps the chef on his toes. I can just imagine sitting at dinner that night, and here comes your "steak".
If it bounces, it's meatloaf.....(sorry, obscure rocky horror reference there lol)

they don't have an actual morgue on dcl ships. they have a 2 drawer body refrigerator, where remains would be placed in a catastrophe bag (aka bodybag - heavy leak-proof vinyl with handles). Spoke to the physician once while taking a sick child to sick bay. I grew up in a funeral home family, and asked the doc/nurse practitioner how they handled it. They also mention that guests don't expire frequently, but occasionally is more accurate. The goal on any cruise ship (also mentioned by doc) is that you have to be pretty "dead" to be declared on bored and moved to the fridge. Even if the person is fairly gone, they would rather get them off to some other facility and declare them there. I know from a friend who is a VP at WDW that the motto at WDW is "nobody dies at WDW." Short of decapitation, if you are dead, you are taken by ambulance to Celebration, and declared there. Something about the Medical Examiners vans at parks/resorts/etc. that might have prompted this mandate.

bolding is mine....
EWWW!!!
I cannot believe that they would be allowed to do that. I'm sure that that would be a serious health code violation.
