I think because of case like Amy's and the activism by their families, ships have installed cameras that merely watch the balconies from the bridge of the ship. (Some kind of cruise act I believe in 2010).. If I have time today, ill go through my photos and find a pic of the cameras. They don't film on individual balconies (they would catch plenty of people having sex) but if someone was climbing or falling, they could go back and review it. This, of course, makes it reactive and not proactive-- doesn't help anyone who did fall over; only gives the family an answer about what happened.
There are problems with ships and safety-- I won't ever deny that. Employees come from (generally speaking) third world countries, so there are no background checks before they become employed by the cruise ship industry. Ships are little cities and while people get "vacation mentality" and behave differently than if they were out partying at home, cruisers need to remain cognizant that no one needed a background check to get on the ship.
