[QUOTE]Originally posted by HopefulRailUser: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [qb] Not based on reality? Miss Vicki, could you explain why? I'm curious. This fellow is a heavyweight travel writer and is widely respected. Is he misrepresenting facts? [/qb][/QUOTE]I think so. The paragraph that starts out the criticism is not factual. I can't seem to make it copy and paste here. But the registering in foreign countries implying an effort to avoid taxes, proper safety rules, proper wages, is faulty. Just reading Captain Albert's blog gives one an idea of the many rules that must be met for any cruise line that uses a US port. And wages are not substandard. Frank is on the Atlantic right now and not available to comment but I think he would also have some input here. There is also not much nickel and diming going on although there are more extra charges than there used to be. But we have no trouble keeping the additional charges down to a minimum. And yes Smitty, the food is wonderful. I sure hope we can get you on a cruise some day. The Mexican Riviera is always warm, just do it! [/QB][/QUOTE]
