Human Rights

As one of thousands of third world individuals who worked for Royal Caribbean and witnessed severe human and workers rights abuses onboard their ships, I recommend that additional information be added on human rights transgressions aboard their ships. Examples might include the multi-million class action suit brought against RCI for not paying overtime, the contraventions of martitime safety laws created by staff working continuous shifts longer than 8 hours, routine sexual abuse of female employees by shipboard management and the complete absence of fair disciplinary procedures on board these ships. I realise that the information here is anecdotal, but an article on the internet titled 'Sweatships' covers all of the bases. see: http://www.irr.org.uk/2002/december/ak000006.html

This page is for discussing the content of the Wikipedia article on Royal Carribean International, not the company itself. Autiger 18:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a major expansion. I know a lot about this and other cruise lines as well as their ships so I will be adding to it over time.

Dumping fuel oil

Why would they be dumping fuel oil? Are you sure you don't mean sludge or something?

Just curious...

Well they haven't done the oil dumping but in the past they have done trash dumping and have been charged for it.Sparrowman980

The statement concerning a penalty of 500 dollars for non attendance at the drill is incorrect. The regulations for informing the passengers concerning the life vest etc are contained in SOLAS . These regulations were agreed by the contracting governments of the International Maritime Organization. The IMO is a maritime regulatory body. It does not have the power nor desire to issue financial penalties to organizations or individuals. You should check your sources for this statement.

The Reg is SOLAS 18 Emergency Training and Drills and for passenger drills

3.2 On a ship engaged on an international voyage which is not a short international voyage, musters of passengers shall take place within 24 hours after their embarkation. Passengers shall be instructed in the use of the life-jacket and the actions to take in a emergency.

I also think if you read RCCL´s Guest Vacation Policy it does not mention debarkation for non attendance at the drill so I think you will find the second part is incorrect.

You might also check your source about photo recognition systems under security, I believe this is currently incorrect statement.

This was what they pled guilty to quote a fleet-wide conspiracy to discharge harmful quantities of oil and hazardous chemicals into United States waters, making false statements to the Coast Guard, and obstruction of justice. unquote

RCI Fan.com

It was suggested that I submit this link to the discussion page, so that those who contribute to editing it can come to some general agreement as to if it should be included in the page or now.

No adds are on the site. I do personally run it. It has free message forums, chat, a blog, and other features for users. I think it would be very topical to add that in the link section as an unofficial site focused on Royal Caribbean.
