P&O Cruises in spotlight over predatory casino tactics

A class-action lawsuit alleging that P&O Cruises used "predatory" tactics to entice passengers to gamble at its casinos is about to be filed. Additionally, when passengers were unable to pay their debts, the British cruise line is accused of unlawfully detaining them on board.

The promise of a free cruise with unlimited alcohol, free dinners, and a $3,200 daily credit limit enticed another traveler to gamble at the casino.
 
The lawsuit against P&O Cruises alleges the use of unethical tactics to encourage passengers to gamble in onboard casinos, including promises of free cruises and perks like unlimited alcohol and daily credits. It also accuses the company of illegally detaining passengers unable to settle gambling debts. The claims highlight concerns over the cruise line's responsibility toward its passengers and the ethical standards of its casino operations. This case could set a precedent for accountability in gambling practices on cruise ships.
