Having personally seen an evacuation center and its crowded conditions and
all the logistics involved..I say Kudos to Carnival..The evacuation centers
are bulging...The people in huge areas filled with cots with absolutely no
privacy...The ships will be located not too far from NOLA or Biloxi, when
they are able to go home..There is a medical center on each ship..they will
have food, decent beds and showers... Carnival will have to go through
putting up with disgruntled passengers, refunding and rebooking cruises and
air fare that they may have booked for six whole months..it will be a
logistical night mare...I don't see any other cruise lines stepping up to
the plate..
Sheesh.. the government and Carnival are doomed if they do and doomed if
they don't! Right now, let's consider the plight of these poor homeless
people and making things better for them as soon as possible.
