Default An uninvited Guest and a free cruise

Osamu Ikegame, 40, from Japan sneaked onboard Aurora whilst she was docked in Yokohama. He was left undetected until he arrived in Hawaii, a week later. Ikegame managed to spend a week convincing passengers and crew that he was a genuine passenger. Ikegame only got caught out when he failed to produce a ticket in Hawaii.

Wow...that's a story....kind of scary to think someone could get away with that. I wonder how he managed to get on? Where did he sleep? Keep his clothes? So many questions!

But if you can get a free cruise good on ya.


Seriously it leaves the security a lot to be desired.

You could eat in the buffets and get away with that. If you wore the same clothes all week, someone would surely notice. There are always those you see again and again. Showers are available in the spa and outside decks, so that's covered. You could sleep on a deck chair, but again, you would think someone would notice after one or two nights of that. Just seems so implausible.

I read that it was this mans dream to go on a luxury cruise. He climbed a fence to get into the port and then just walked on the ship.
