Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act-LHWCA   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Cruising is now the apex of modern leisure travel, however, the laws that govern the cruise lines and accidents and injuries occurring on cruise ships are governed by ancient legal doctrines which favor shipowners over passengers and severely limit your rights and remedies. The unpleasant reality is that the cruise vessel's responsibilities and your rights as an injured passenger are not governed by modern consumer oriented common and statutory law, but by 19th century legal principals which were formed to insulate the maritime industry from the legitimate claims of passengers. The most disturbing aspect of cruise claims is what happens when a passenger is sick or injured and needs the care of the ships medical “professionals.” There are no uniform standards for medical care professionals or for the nature and quality of the medical equipment in the infirmary and/or operating room. www.miamimaritimelaw.com /lhwca.htm   (809 words)

Boats To Go, History Crusing and sailing Maritime. Dinghy sailors may also be "cruisers", and in this case the word refers to someone who sails just for fun, maybe to go from A to B, but equally likely just to sail around for a few hours - in fact, any sailing activity that does not involve racing. "Cruising" may also refer to trips on cruise ships, and those who take frequent cruise ship vacations (multiple times per year) may be called "cruisers". Key among these are Lin and Larry Pardey, who in 1969 set off on a short cruise from the USA to Mexico, which turned into a circumnavigation of the world. www.boatstogo.co.uk /cruising-history/cruising.html   (625 words)
