(Click here to read the Lifeguard Times article)

"Royal Caribbean representative Cynthia Martinez said in an email that while the company does not hire lifeguards, it does have warning signs stationed at its pools.

“Signs are always posted that warn passengers to swim at their own risk, similar to what you’d see at many hotels,” she said."

How do you feel about cruise lines' inadequate staffing of lifeguards? Why do you think this is?

I want to ask Mrs Martinez...do the signs are going to save the drowning person at the ships open deck pools? Is the warning sign " swim at your own risk" good enough to save someones life or good enough just to take the responsibility off in case of fatal drowning?

Good point, @angel! The article above covers that point a bit. It could just be an excuse for cruise lines to not pay extra staff (even though the position of a lifeguard is crucial in that line of work).

Reminds me of when my father fell on a wet floor... Instead of helping jim up, the employee ran and got a wet floor sign. They only use signs to avoid liability. Makes me very angry. A sign can't jump in to save you, or perform CPR. It annoys me that they're too cheap to take the passengers' safety seriously
