[quote=Anonymous]On the worker question….I’ve had a few long chats with workers on cruises—the ones that clean the deck floors, not the childcare or entertainment staff. They sign up for 6 month contracts and make as much time in that contract as they could make in a couple years at home. One guy was telling me he missed his kids but face times them every day on his breaks, and then when he finishes his contract he is able to be a stay at home dad for them for a full six months. By doing this, he makes double what he would otherwise make in his country and 50% of the time he is totally free to hang out with his kids. It did not sound like a bad trade off to me. I had a couple similar conversations with cruise cleaning and dining hall staff. I agree the environmental stuff is problematic. The cruise lines are constantly saying that the newer ship is cleaner, etc…..I never know whether to give that any weight or not. [/quote]
