If you have ever been on a cruise, and the ship visited ports of call, you may have noticed that in many cases, the countries you visited did not have easy transport from the ship to land. In fact, in many cases, there may not have been any access at all, but rather you may have had to board smaller ships to take you to the mainland from the ship and back again.
This is quite common. Unfortunately, a recent tragedy is highlighting what a cruise line’s duty is with respect to these transports.
