It isn't D/s although I know BDSM would take place on many of the ships.

So what we need to do is find some Pirate Ship type deal... or find a island nation with less strict maratine laws

Pirate Master (the truly awful train wreck that it was) has been cancelled...that ship might be available.

Celtic...nice to meet you. My point was (should have been more specific) that you could not have a public play dungeon or the like, typical of a shore-based D/s club, that was useable by everyone and sanctioned by the Master of the vessel. Of course what goes on in a stateroom can't be, nor should be monitored unless it endangers my ship.

So, it happened today that I had lunch with a former OCMI on the east coast who has been a friend for years. Having read your post I posed the question to him and he offered an answer. To say it was a tad difficult to explain to him was an understatement...lol. Anyway, he says that if he boarded me and found a "public" dungeon with people tied in a way that could not be "easily" undone by the person bound, the USCG would find a violation if the "bondage" was in a public space available to anyone. The rationale is that a bound person may not be able to escape restraints in an emergency. "Confinement:", such as in a brig or a locked room is allowed if the person is a danger to the ship but even then he says, they cannot be bound inside the locked space. He noted an exception to the latter being people captured in a terrorist operation, war, or a drug interdiction. Oddly enough, there is a fellow up north who has run public play clubs and was at one time Captain of the Port for a "to be unnamed" port :)

Interesting side point....he noted New York City's prison barge, built at Avondale, has the capability of opening all cell doors at once as well as exit doors, in an emergency if the boat is in danger of sinking or capsizing..

Whoa there, this is also a serious reply. I have in my distant past I held a USCG licence unlimited tonnage.

You pose possibilities that do not exist. a cruise with a D/s group aboard does not fortell yout antisipated problems. If folks want to meet in their cabins or suites for an exchange of ideas, it is their business, not the captains unless they endanger the ship.

So what if there is only 200 D/s folks on a 2000 passenger ship, it is the same as a business convention, conference rooms can be arranged for group discussions etc.
