More and more info is coming out about life onboard for the crew; this really is a moral dilemma, isn't it?  Yes, for many, they make more money than they would at home, but that doesn't mean they should be treated inhumanely or expected to work beyond their physical and psychological limits.  There seems to be a large number of them who do multiple contracts - are those the ones who have just "adjusted"?  If we don't cruise...they lose their jobs?  I guess I am thinking out loud.  I have to admit it - I love cruising - and I think most of us on this board do.  Ed and I are always thoughtful cruisers - we are never rude and always thankful for everything the crew does for us...but it is clear we need to do more....somehow...
