[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I hated it as well. Our kids (8 and 9) LOVED it and still talk about it. The service was fantastic, however DH spent A LOT of time talking to staff about what it's like working there, and it was so demoralizing. They were really the most amazing people, and they are being exploited for their labor. No it's not just by Disney but Disney sure as hell could make an impact. Anyway it was just all around a huge bummer. [/quote]

They are not being exploited.  More money than they otherwise could make.[/quote]

Yes they are and it's sad how many people don't care. It's a "purgatory at sea":

Besides: what do you expect on a swimming dirtbag?[/quote]

If they were being exploited they would leave.  They can do that.  That they are not paid UMC wages is not being exploited.  [/quote]

I make middle class income.  If someone offered me to get 5x that income by working 84 hours a week on a ship or whatever, I would take that in a heartbeat.  So would 80% of all people in the world I'm pretty sure.  Do that a few years and retire.  So a teenager at age 18 can get 5x an average middle class wage per year, work for 5 years, put most of it in long term investments and retire.  The cruise workers are benefitting from the arrangement, that's why they signed up! [/quote]

You are beyond clueless. If you are cruising on a ship that is flying the flag of convenience you are containing to the brutalizing and exploration of vulnerable people. Disney usually flies under the Bahamian flag. It is beyond horrible - but enjoy the kids club! https://story.californiasunday.com/below-deck/[/quote]
