Hopefully it's an indication that 6 feet apart and masks are simply virtue signaling.

Thank you for posting this link.

Thanks for posting. Glad to see him speak out.

The link was to a public statement by the CEO of the largest cruise corporation in the world. It has everything to do with cruising and shows that Mr Donald wants to make sure that ALL of us are reminded that travel can broaden our minds and hearts and make us better citizens of this planet.

 

Thank you to Mr Donald for your heartfelt and eloquently worded statement.

The message does not even contain the word 'cruise'.

His words are as sincere as "you'll have a refund in 30 days"  All PR and fluff.

The content & honesty are amazing. I'm baffled as to the snarky response, cruzsnooze and Roberto256.

What a terrific message - hopeful, realistic, honest.  I think it takes courage to make a personal statement like this in the world we live in - good on him.

my take on this article;  it has nothing to do with cruising; but addresses the current day issues going on across America.  The article is from the CEO who is sending a message to all the employees in the company; he talks about personal and systematic issues.  Have a great weekend

Excues me, but my comment wasn't snarky at all.

 

I did not comment about Mr. Donald's statement; only about the claim that the statement had everything to do with cruising.

It might be a fine statement.   It might be a terrible statement.   But, it has nothing to do with cruising.

One of the cool things about cruising is meeting all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds from all over the world. I've met crew members from an amazing number of different countries and cultures and it's been pretty cool talking with them. If more people would get to know each other as people rather than as "skin colors" it would be a better place all around. I grew up in a pretty "white" world but was raised mostly by my grandparents. They came out west during the Oklahoma Dust Bowl time and nobody wanted those "damn Okies" around. Having lived it themselves they failed to teach me to treat others poorly and just kind of left the whole prejudice thing out of my education. It's made it hard for me to understand those who have been raised to dislike or even hate or fear people who look different from their own families. People need to stop teaching their children this type of behavior. If you stop teaching them to dislike or fear others they won't teach their children that type of thing either and it would maybe just go away. I do believe it has to start with people simply not passing that sort of crud along to their children.

When he says he wants to provide the support and motivation to be the greatest travel company in the world, isn't that about cruising?

I have no comment on Mr Donald's message.

 

But if indeed this is directed at employees, I don't see that it needs to be so publicly showcased on company website(s)

It's odd that if this message has 'everything to do with cruising',  this thread got fewer than 20 replies.

 

While the "where's my refund thread" has over 3000.
