The infrastructure is not in place in port-au-prince. Our military is down there and can't adequately get the ships in why would a liner, not equipped to handle a week at a time be better than our aircraft carriers designed to be at sea for months. I understand the issue. but the logistics are something to think about. What about the 1500 people that are employed on that ship? Put them out of work? It sounds good, but a cruise ship is not the answer. It's better to let the economics work of having the ship visit the beach as usual, those folks are depending on it. Jim
