6. Ships Don’t Wait
Depending on the scenario, crews sometimes have the opportunity to disembark at a port to sightsee. During that time they are free to do as they will, but the ship will leave at the designated time with or without them. Port authorities fine ships that overstay their allotted time, so a missing crew member is concerning, but not worth the fines. One who gets left behind may not only lose the gig but will need to find accommodations and travel arrangements without help.
