It would be a magnificent gesture and good P.R. on Carnival's part to offer one of their ships to assist storm victims (assuming they could even get near the area)--but somehow I doubt it. 


Hi Everyone,

Please see my posting "Carnival May Donate Ships!" where Carnival is
looking into donating their ships for emergency housing.


From the article:

"The world's largest cruise line said that although 'to undertake such an endeavor would involve many complicated issues, we are actively taking a look at it.'"

"'It is our intention to work with federal officials to determine the feasibility of moving a ship into the area if that is their desire,' the company said."

Am I wrong, or does that sound like corporate doublespeak for "we're trying to duck out of this as gracefully as possible."
