Luxury liners are still docking at private beaches near Haiti’s devastated earthquake zone for holidaymakers to enjoy the water.

Sixty miles from Haiti’s devastated earthquake zone, luxury liners dock at private beaches where passengers enjoy jet ski rides, parasailing and rum cocktails delivered to their hammocks.

I don’t see the problem. Those ships inject a lot of money into the Haitian economy by employing local people and drawing thousands upon thousands of international tourists (with disposable income) into their marketplace. The article also points out that Royal Caribbean is bringing supplies, and donating money to relief efforts. Cutting off that income/support to the island would not be helping anyone.

If you honestly have a stick up your ass about “eating a burger” sixty miles away from the tragedy in Port-au-Prince, stop dropping money into a luxury vacation and give it to the Red Cross. Choose your battles, people.
