Anxiety-inducing environment (Sensory overload): The show combines total darkness at sea with extremely loud and sudden pyrotechnic explosions. For hypersensitive individuals or those with cognitive disabilities, the inability to leave the ship before the end of the performance can trigger a panic attack.
Safety and evacuation at sea: In the event of a nighttime emergency, evacuation procedures on board a passenger ship require good mobility and the ability to immediately understand and follow the crew's orders.
Potential standing area: Depending on the boat's configuration and the number of passengers, seating on the outside deck may be limited at the time of the fireworks display, forcing passengers to stand along the railing.
