Marta,

The story made me think of the overall cruise industry that seems to be riddled with a few too many mysteries.

The numerous number of people that simply vanish; a number of them knowingly from foul play.

But another story that I've actually followed for years, and has recently been in the news, has been the unpredictable formation of giant waves as high as 90 to 100 feet.

This has been a known reality by the cruise ships and other shipping companies for years, but has been investigated much at all.

I think that the cruise industry has a lot of investigation needed to cause them to take their customers welfare much more seriously.

Gary,

Thank you for your comments. I wonder what other things and events we don't hear about when it comes to the cruise industry. Scary indeed.

Marta
