Sorry, duplicate post

I don't doubt one word that you're saying. I'm sure that life on a cruise is not what most cruisers would expect.. For some, it might feel like hell. I just have a few questions. First why do so many of the employees sign 2nd and even 3rd contracts. When I cruise, I talk frequently to the ship peI understand that rsonnel and they seem to love to talk. Most have been through several contracts and plan on signing another. I have talked to some who have said that they will be leaving and just a few who seemed truly disgruntled, but not too many. Second, many of these people come from very poor third world countries. Their employment opportunities are at best limited in the home countries. I understand that compared to our standard of living they are grossly underpaid, but compared to their own standard of living, they are well above the average worker. Again, I understand there are bad working conditions for these people, but, it seems to me, for many of them, without the cruiseships their lives may actually be worse.

Hi Carol, We felt the same way about cruising before going the 1st time. Cindy, my wife, can get motion ill by walking down a street and turning her head. She does great on a cruise with Bonine. That is sold OTC in any pharmacy and is chewable. I get sick in elevators and use the patch. I have never been sick even going thru a hurricane like we did on our 1st cruise. Like MaryLou said, it is by prescription. You only have to change it evey 3 days.The ships these days are so stablized that you rarely feel any motion at all. Enjoy!
