You are assuming that there is SOP to run away from jurisdiction....THAT is what I am saying....none of us knows if the captain knew. The captain is king, but he is not omnipotent.
If this was the first and only time this very same type of issue has come up re: cruise ships, then you might, maybe, have a point.
I used the term SOP because it is, actually, in fact, industry wide SOP.
And yes, the captain is always aware of such things because he's the individual that the company will fire if such cases ever do reach proper jurisdiction.
Can't have people talking about bad things associated with the cruise line. Bad for business.
Basing reality or its limits by what an author chooses to include or not in a single article isn't best practice.

Show me your proof that you know the captain knew about this. otherwise it's just your assumption.
