You will find many Goans on Board these ships. Last year three Goan seamen were accused of rape on Board a cruise liner. The case is still ongoing, they will either be sent to the Bahamas or will be set free. It seems that the accuser and her mother have been making a living out of accusing ship hands and then trying to extract money or compensation from the ship owners. cheers, Gabe Menezes.
