I've never been on a cruise, but if I do, I'm not going to be using these folks.

So are you saying the cruise ship should have skipped Haiti stop completely, thereby ensuring the locals made no money that week?

The cruise ship passengers booked their vacation long before the earthquake happened. Excursions off the boat aren't cheap for cruise ship passengers. Anywhere between $35 and $250 depending on the type of activity.

The Haitian economy needs all the cash it can get right now.

I can't imagine that there is a ton of activity right now regarding excursions, especially inland.

Would you do the Bourbon Street waltz days after Katrina? The bars need the money right?
