Whoa!

The cruise ships I have been on, (mostly Carnival) were FAR
from claustrophobic.....

And I paid for the trip (s)...

And to get out of a sewer?

1 st in line.....

Heck, they won't even go aboard cruise ships that are right there.


Having been on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship quite recently, were *I* a
refugee and had a choice, *I* would not want to live on a cruise ship for an
extended time....especially not with kids. The exception would be if that
was the only air-conditioned place available :-)

Not that I would mind the food or even the entertainment, but it is still a
very claustrophobic environment. Better use of donated cruise ships might
be as temporary extra hospital space, housing for out-of-state volunteers,
and that sort of thing.

Cruise ships accommodation is fine for people who have something to do,
somewhere to go. It would probably be a terrible place to sit and wait.
