A passage attributed to Abraham Lincoln (or Mark Twain) comes to mind on occasion here..." Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt"

Brilliant response.
The following inferences are now apparent: An hour late is only determined after the departure had actually happened. The captain would never know exactly how late they would be whether it was 10 minutes or 10 years. Also, if the ship had waited, they would be an hour late to their next “scheduled” port. Inconvenience thousands and drive up costs, or charge the late arrivals their own penance for poor time management or unforeseen circumstance? Why should thousands be late for a few? What about scheduled appointments, flights , departures for those working on being punctual?

The important issue here that nobody is looking at is this:
When this group of people were "no shows" at departure time, the captain had their passports delivered ashore to the authorities. If he had allowed them to board well after the scheduled departure time, they would have proceeded to their next destination without their passports. And withour their documents, how would they be allowed to get home? |

My main concern would be safety. I just read a story about a women who was killed by an elephant in Africa this week. There have also been kidnappings. I once went to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and the bus ride from the airport to the hotel was on a winding ocean road with no guardrail. The tires on the bus had no tread. The beach had signs to stay off the beach at night because of muggers. Every time I have travelled outside the U.S., I have experienced substandard facilities and unsafe conditions, and I was always happy to get home. And, I don't trust cruise lines to be transparent about safety issues. I plan to stay in this country.
