Cruise Ship Industry reroutes passengers from Puerto Vallarta to San Diego, which has 25 times more confirmed cases of H1N1

Princess Cruise Lines diverted the Sapphire Princess from Puerto Vallarta to San Diego and Catalina Island. San Diego has over 50 confirmed cases of H1N1, as compared to 2 confirmed cases in Puerto Vallarta. There is no logic behind this move if the cruise ship giant's goal was protecting the safety of their passengers. There is however an enormous financial benefit to the two US destinations benefitting from the H1N1 hysteria, and the crusie ship company which is paying much less for fuel.

The cruise ship operators put a clause in every ticket contract that says that the destinations can be changed at any time. This is allowing them to charge for a Pacific Mexico cruise while basically just idling around California. I'm sure there will be discounts, but if you paid for an international cruise and your cell phone never even switches to roaming, are you getting what you wanted in the first place? If it were me, I'd call the cruise operator and demand that they credit you with twice as many tickets and wait until they get their act together.
