NINE MONTHS ON A CRUISE? NINE MINUTES IS TOO MUCH!

These floating cities damage environmental and cultural sites, exploit third world workers, promote alcoholism and gluttony.

I read about a Tik Tok author who received a free nine-month luxury cruise in exchange for writing favorable reviews. It turned just the opposite.

If this fellow had been reading my posts, he would never have walked up that gangplank.

Sorry he had such a terrible time, but he’s done the world somewhat of a service by broadcasting it. (Though I wish he used any other platform than the Chinese government’s spy program known as Tik Tok.)

My criticism is that he only addressed the understandable disappointment of some passengers, while completely ignoring the much more significant and unethical consequences of these massive cruise ships: environmental and cultural destruction, pollution of harbors, and the exploitation of invisible third-world laborers. (Those are even worse than rude and boisterous drunks he reported, seafaring barbarians who won’t line up to gorge themselves on unlimited and unhealthy foods.)
