Dennis:

Let's ask you this have you ever taken a cruise on a cruise ship? Alaska
ferries doesn't count.

You make a pretty bold statement about starvation wages? In who's eye's
Yours?
Maybe you better talk to some of these people and see what they would
get paid back home doing the same work and then say they are starvation
wages.
I have made good friends with these so called 3rd world workers and I
can tell you they are very happy doing what they do for what they get
paid. On one cruise my Waitress was a fully trained Lawyer back home and
she made more in one year as a waitress than she would make in 3 years
as a Lawyer.

My last cruise I just got off this past weekend my waiter would make
about $100 month back home working full time. In our 9 night cruise he
stood to make $1008 for both seatings.

Now Dennis it may not be to American Standards but don't try and say
they are working for starvation wages because they are not. They are
doing very well when they return home. You just prove to everyone on
here how ill informed you really are.

Now go and take a cruise and when you do come back here and report about
it.

Phil

Humour for the thinking person:
1) Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?
2) Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?
