Manifest Accessibility - Page 3

Cherished shipbuilding traditions of seaworthiness - based on the hale and hearty young lads of yore - must give way to new formulations that adequately address passenger safety and respect their differences. Service that perpetuates prejudice will end up in consumer mutiny.

As one passenger commented on my last cruise:

"It's only in the movies that the villains aboard ship have the 'peg leg' or a hook prosthesis... We're your loyal customers, Captain. So remember, when you drop anchor on these shores, inclusion is the price of doing business."
