The people who work at cruises work so hard, with so little rest. I'm not familiar with labor laws on cruises either, but it looks like there should be a change to protect these workers a bit more.<br /><br />I'm happy to know you had a great trip! I love, LOVE the photos!<br />Alexandrahttp://agplaythings.proboards.com/user/1265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-68815563449304759002015-01-22T15:23:01.330-06:002015-01-22T15:23:01.330-06:00I really enjoyed reading about your trip!

I didn't think it was possible to love L&L more, but I do. Hilarious, gorgeous (your shots are amazing!), and feels even more fun than an actual cruise! Thank you for such a detailed, entertaining, and fun story. It's snowy where I am and this is like the perfect vacation, complete with wise-cracking dolls! :DNeici Phttp://etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-64286914643015524312015-01-21T21:17:31.852-06:002015-01-21T21:17:31.852-06:00Thank you Lindsay! ^_^ I'm sure the other girl...Thank you Lindsay! ^_^ I'm sure the other girls are standing guard diligently at home waiting for Lissie and Lilly to return for more mischief and fun! :DLilly Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758163542985764322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-83380010258826292962015-01-21T21:16:11.610-06:002015-01-21T21:16:11.610-06:00Hahaha! Oh my goodness, the mental image of Lissie...Hahaha! Oh my goodness, the mental image of Lissie wrecking havoc in a motorized vehicle... Something just shouldn't be allowed for the sake of sanity! :D <br /><br />The treatment of the staff (by the company) really disconcerted me. I was chatting with our steward and told him now that we were docked, he could get a little bit of a break. It surprised me when he laughed and said no, they were sailing back out in a few hours with a new load of passengers. Whenever one of them are injured or sick and have to visit the doctor, I know they will beg the doctor to "Please don't send me back" (to their home country). If they are unable to work for more than a few days, the cruise line will send them back to their home country and find another worker instead. They constantly ask for their attending physicians to write the diagnosis more lightly if possible so they can keep their jobs and continue working at the expense of their own health. I know I take this viewpoint because I grew up in an affluent country and to me health is number 1, but it really saddens me to see these workers who grew up in much harsher conditions put money over their bodies in order to support family back home or make a living.Lilly Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758163542985764322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918295946141079753.post-74000550872362048882015-01-21T21:14:42.736-06:002015-01-21T21:14:42.736-06:00Lissie: WOW!

I hope the other girls didn't miss Lissie and Lilly too much.

I suppose it's a good thing you can't reach the pedals of a car, but on the other hand, I would -love- to see you, say, driving in the Indy 500. Or a demolition derby. Or the Indy 500 turned demolition derby...<br /><br />Thank you for the compassionate, thoughtful words for cruise ship staff. People can be obnoxious enough to ordinary sales clerks and waitstaff on land; I can't imagine what cruise staff might have to put up with.Mirenithilnoreply@blogger.com
