I cruise Carnival out of Galveston. We don't have these problems. The people that cruise from other places tell me that Galveston is the BEST port to cruise out of because the people are so laid back and cool. I have never even came close to a fight on a cruise. In fact, it was mostly women and gay dudes on most of my cruises, so I was cleaning UP. Once they find out that you are single and straight, the it is ON.
