The question looks dorky, just reading it, but it is a real concern for me when planning my family vacation.

We've just returned from our 8th cruise (2 week Mediterranean) and we have never had any sort of problem on any of them. Unfortunately, you do hear about the sensational things (like that guy who disappeared), but when you consider how many cruises there are and how many people cruise (thousands upon thousands), the instances of crime are very rare.

Also, consider this. My nephew's girlfriend's sister (got that?) was working on the cruise where the guy on his honeymoon disappeared. Apparently both he and his wife created havoc from the moment they came aboard. They partied non-stop and drank non-stop and fought none-stop. Countless people had complained about them. They had been warned that the cruiseline would have them put ashore if their behaviour didn't improve. Then he disappears - yes, it was a tragedy, no one deserves that. But it was probably their own actions which caused it. Then dopes like Nancy Grace sensationalize it. Cruising is very safe - and very enjoyable. I hope you try it!
