Summary
The Cruise Passenger Protection Act (H.R. 3142) aims to strengthen safety, security, and medical standards for passengers on large commercial cruise ships operating in U.S. waters. The bill would require cruise lines to report crimes and missing persons more transparently, maintain functional video surveillance in public areas, and ensure that qualified medical staff are available on board at all times. Additionally, it directs the Department of Transportation to create a public website where consumers can review crime statistics for different cruise lines and mandates improved vessel safety features, such as clearer cabin door peepholes and updated emergency equipment.
