Nah I won't change my mind about it being dangerous. Statistically low sure but too many un-screened potential creeps around in close proximity with a high interaction level. In a hotel you don't have that enforced intimacy. And it's not as easy for sociopaths to kidnap, rape, traffic, drug or kill people in a hotel with cameras everywhere. Plus there is the lax accountability on the part of the police in different Caribbean countries you visit.... different rules for the ship itself depending on foreign domain... uh uh
Yikes! When you put it like that, it DOES sound scary
True that some Caribbean (and Mexican) ports leave much to be desired, and there are particular places where we don't even disembark the ship. I cringe when I hear people talk about exploring some ports on their own as opposed to a ship-sponsored shore excursion.
