Safe Cruise

Project Safe Cruise Press Release: See www.projectsafecruise.blogspot.com & details below. Leave a message if you have experienced incidents involving poor security & safety practices of cruise lines. Hearings are scheduled; we will provide them to Congress. We must act to insure passenger safety. The current lack of safety & security is not acceptable especially after 9/11. On 5/12/05, we were on the Carnival Destiny near Aruba when an elderly couple disappeared without a trace.

Government could save $50 billion per year by having two shifts of white collar employees work each day. Office space costs $50,000/year for each employee yet we only use space 30% of time. We can no longer afford to have banker's hours for all. With over 2 million federal employees this cost-free paradigm change could avoid lay offs/furloughs and reduce pollution.

UK Pushes for Balcony Regulations to Prevent Fires on Cruise Ships

http://www.miami.com Posted on Thu, May. 11, 2006 by Amy Martinez :

Government officials in Great Britain are urging members of the International Maritime Organization meeting this week in London to act quickly and consider new requirements for cruise-ship balconies in the wake of a deadly fire near Jamaica. The Star Princess left from Fort Lauderdale and was on its way from Grand Cayman in the Bahamas to Montego Bay, Jamaica, when the fire broke out. One passenger died after suffering a heart attack and 13 others were treated for smoke inhalation.
Princess Cruises, the ship's operator, is owned by Miami-based Carnival Corp.
