Cruises are often marketed as floating vacations where families can relax, enjoy endless food, and soak up the sun. For most passengers, that’s exactly the experience they get. But, every once in a while, there’s an incident on board that reminds travelers that things can go wrong, even at sea.
That’s what happened last week on a Royal Caribbean ship docked in Puerto Rico. According to officials, a male passenger reportedly jumped overboard to avoid paying his gambling debts to the cruise line. But cruisers online don’t believe the incident is so clear-cut.
Many commenters have speculated there’s far more to the incident than a simple unpaid tab at the casino. While some are questioning how the situation escalated so dramatically,…

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) – Boelter Window and Siding has officially gone out of business, and now some of its customers are left wondering where their money went.
Boelter Window and Siding was a local contractor for the Mankato area since 1990. In an email to customers on Aug. 29, the company announced it would be going out of business and was filing for bankruptcy.
The difference here, however, is some customers have already paid the company for future work. Work, of course, that can no longer be done, and money that will not be refunded.
“I wrote out a check for just over $20,000 to Boelter and signed the contract for them to start residing my house,” customer Amanda Lappen said.
Customers like Lappen are now stuck in a jam. Much of that…

Federal Charges Filed After Cruise Passenger Jumps Ship Over Gambling Debt Casino.org

I personally have very limited experience on cruise ships. And even less experience in the casinos on cruise ships. The idea of paying exorbitant sums to go out to sea on a craft filled from bow to stern with amenities, only sit inside in a windowless room sort of defeats the purpose. I mean, I swung through the casino on the one cruise I ever went on without breaking stride because it didn’t look one iota different than what you’d find in any other gaming establishment on land. To me, the only difference was we were in international waters, so there was no way of knowing whether an actual Gaming Commission was in charge of regulating these tables and machines. So I kept walking to the bar by the pool where the…
