Agreed. I have heard many stories of food poisoning and other issus on these cruises. The owners of some ships are foriegn entities and, combined with international waters/laws, are not necessarily required to do things as the passengers expect. Once you are on board that thing, you are at their mercy. Hell, I don't think you can even sue them? I expect you sign your life away before boarding! I always have said I would not go, even if the cruise was free! What a nightmare!
