[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think they are trashy.  I do think people really need to consider how the workers are treated before giving a cruise line their money.[/quote]

Every six months they have the option to renew their contracts. [/quote]

This is right.  They have contracts.  Can stop after any of the contracts end.  Also there are Americans that do the same job on cruises, are they slaves?

Good prior post about Disney.  Pay 5K for a week at a theme park, waiting in multiple hour long lines for rides. Go every year.  That is totally classy.  [/quote]

THey take the job at crap pay because they don't have any better options. You'll never see a white person doing any of the low paying jobs on cruise ships. They get higher level, more fairly paid positions. So it is getting your jollies at a price you can afford at the expense of poor people and racism. So classy. I don't think anyone on DCUM has argued that Disney is classy. [/quote]

ICYMI: cruise ships have a long history of employing lgbtq staff—often fleeing a home country (and families) that persecute/toss them out. It’s a thing. Google it.

There are white servers on Disney cruises. We met young white servers from Scotland and England as well as other European countries.

A server from Thailand told us she earns more in a week than she would in two months at home. She supports her family by working a 6 month contract then going home for 4-6 months. [/quote]
