The Government Accountability Office reports “federal agencies, cruise ship and facility operators, and law enforcement entities have taken various actions to enhance the security of cruise ships and their facilities and implement related laws, regulations, and guidance, and additional actions are under way.” Cruise ship and facility operators have developed and implemented security plans, and the Coast Guard is “expanding a program to deter and prevent small vessel attacks, and is developing additional security measures.” However, Customs and Border Protection should consider “requiring cruise lines to provide passenger reservation data.”
