I think its important to know when taking a cruise. International Marine Law. Most ocean cruise, do not fly the American fly and the ships are registered in other countries. Once you board a cruiser, you are in international space and are govern by Marine Law or the ship's captain rules. Over the last year, I've read some nasty stories of what can happen aboard those ships at sea. Boat companies often hire employees and don't do background checks. These employees travel from one ship to another, often, unsupervised. When an incident happens, you are often in international waters and the ship's captain is the only law. Documentation is often lax and its not like your own back yard. Often, as a tourist, you lose many of your natural rights. ADA, may be observed, but not required, and complaints may fall on deaf ears. Things may be promised to you by people who will not be on your ship, in order to entice you to travel. Many people enjoy cruises and know their rights on International ships. Know your rights and know the history of the ship you travel with.... Best Wishes W In a message dated 2/4/2007 10:37:20 P.M.

I think a cruise is kind of a good way to go. By the water, but not have to worry about the sand. But I hear getting off at the destination ports is not always easy in an electric chair. But then I’d have to fly to get to a starting off point. Greg
