Did This Not Bother You Before You Booked The Cruise?
Cruise ships are embarking at Labadee, Haiti, just a stone’s throw from the death and devastation of Port au Prince. Some on board are upset that they’re being provided all manner of food and gluttonous activity with all the misery and death and devastation.
Did it not occur to these same people that Haiti was a miserable place where people routinely went hungry and was among the poorest places on the planet?
The cruise lines need to do a better job of getting aid to the island - and a better job of making sure that the tourist dollars go beyond the gated communities that they’ve created for their customers. Not just in Haiti, but all over the Caribbean.
