What a fine suggestion! Of course...Dear anonymous <br /><br />What a fine suggestion! Of course, unskilled tourists might not be needed or welcome, but you're right that if this option were viable, a bit of help might be delivered, and for sure the tourists who participated would have a life-changing experience. I don't know how feasible this option would have been, but it's a great idea!<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-30698367401716002092010-01-23T12:08:07.475-05:002010-01-23T12:08:07.475-05:00Interesting dilemma, but there is a third alternat...Interesting dilemma, but there is a third alternative. If passengers feel uneasy about it the company could ask relief coordinators where motivated tourists could pitch in, roll up their sleeves, and spend a day or two helping the victims. An all day bus trip from the cruise ship with lunch provided would not be a drain on local food resources, and if a lot of folks opted to do this, some of the resort staff would not be needed, so the company could pay them to go along and help out, explaining and interpreting for the passengers.<br /><br />Relief efforts need technical people, but a lot can be accomplished by two hands and a willing heart, handing out food and supplies, comforting patients, etc. The volunteers would never be the same again, and it could be a high point of their trip, or at least an exciting story for the folks back home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
