Luxury Cruise Line Docks Near Haiti & Passengers Party

[Luna Tick]

Should they have done this? A cruise ship kept its scheduled stop in Haiti and the passengers got off the ship and enjoyed the beach, drinks, and BBQ. According to the woman in this vid, that was in bad taste and they shouldn't have done that.

What do you think? Should they have done that or should they have stayed on the ship?

Well, if it's true I think the cruise ship should have changed their course and not stopped in Haiti.

I think its in bad taste also if they could make it over there why not just bring medical supplies and water/food?

Liberals are so disgusting.

I got physically ill listening to the liberal bitch in the video talking about how insensitive people are.

How wonderful life would be without liberals.

Actually, they did do that. The thesis of the woman in the video was that they should have just dropped off the supplies without allowing passengers off the ship and then they should have just left.

Well I probably wouldn't have wanted to go a on a cruise so close to all the death. I mean the passegers knew they were going on a cruise near haiti right?

[Luna Tick]

Yes, but I'm sure it was booked long before the earthquake there.

so the cruise should have proposed options, they should have offered a refund, or proposed an alternative navigation or delayed it giving vouchers good for a year. In my opinion its in poor taste to cruise near a tragedy and party and relax.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.

Yep..and thus denied the Haitians of income they depend on from the cruise ships...now more than ever...NOW that makes since.

[Trigg]

I have to agree with Mr. P on this one.

The earthquake didn't hit the entire country, it hit one city.

Does tourism end when one section of a country has a disaster? Did people cancell their trip to the US during 9/11 or Katrina?? NO.

Tourism has only recently come to Haiti and the people who work at these beach resorts or who sell at the bazaars NEED THE MONEY.

Spending money in Haiti is a good thing and keeping tourists coming, even during a disaster of this magnatude, is essential for such a poor country.

Excuse me? Liberals are disgusting because they think its insensitive to party a few miles from were people are having their lives ripped apart and are dying?

You are blinded by your own bullshit, which you have, ironically, programmed into yourself, which seems to have left you cold and uncaring, and anyone who displays human emotions must be a liberal and thus disgusting and better of without.

As for the story, personally they should have docked, dropped off the aid they had and then moved on to their next dock. However, i do not blame the shipping company, for even though they did stay the real decision was with the passengers whom you would of though would have been decent enough to stay onboard.

I don't know the details, haven't seen the article yet. My first thought is 1. They were on return leg and didn't have the supplies to grab. 2. If the beaches could handle the 'cruisers' the folks working sure could use the money. Tourism isn't going to be the same there for a long time to come.

Liberals would do better to stop complaining and critisizing and let other people live their lives as they see fit.

Those people on the boat have most likely contributed more time and money to charitable causes than most whiney-bitchy liberals.

Liberal bashing followed by baseless statements, quite typical of your posting style.
