Your channel would be the perfect venue to list, on a regular basis, those ports-of- call that are hostile to us cruisers. That just might put pressure on the cruise lines to cut them out of their itineraries, thus depriving them of our tourist dollars. Why would we want to visit a place where we are going to be harassed and perhaps assaulted?

For those activists, every other country should permanently block them from traveling. They can just stay in their own country. So ridiculous that nothing was done to them. They should face consequences. They cost other business owners money that would have been sent. They cost the port money. They wasted the time of the cruise ship, which costs money. There is a way to do things, and they went about it in the wrong way. There should be consequences.

The problem with drinks packages is that the cost of them far outweighs what many people can comfortably drink safely, particularly on days when you are off the ship, and have only those few hours in the evening on the ship. It amounts to about 8 basic drinks per day. It's even less economical if one partner in a cabin does not drink at all, but still has to buy the package.
