Twitter is now clearly a monster in the world of social media with a value in the
People complain that I write only negative stories about the cruise lines. Crime, fires, overboard passengers, greedy cruise executives, mistreatment of crew members, blah, blah, blah, does it ever end they ask?
It’s a good question, I suppose. Lots of things go wrong during cruises. I have an endless source of materials for stories to
I’ve written thousands of articles here on Cruise Law News about all type of issues – cruise ship air pollution, cruise waste discharge, mistreatment of crew employees and the cruise industry’s exploitation of the Caribbean ports of call all the while cruise executives pocket obscene amounts of money.
But one of the issues that I rarely write

As I mentioned in my article two days ago, ICV’s Ken Carver Outlasts Cruise Industry, Ken Carver has been on a crusade to bring greater safety and transparency to the cruise industry since 2004 when his daughter Merriam disappeared on a Celebrity cruise to Alaska. In my opinion, it was not only the loss

Ken Carver is the unlikeliest of people to become the founder of a grassroots victims’ organization. Mr. Carver is a conservative businessman and the past president of an insurance company in New York City.
But in 2004, his daughter disappeared from a Celebrity cruise ship during a cruise she took to Alaska. No one should
Last night I watched Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed in my favorite movie It’s a Wonderful Life. At this point, I think I’ve seen the classic movie at least once a year for the last 50 years.
