“This Christmas, unsuspecting college students and their parents may discover dangers on some cruise lines including serious injury and death.”  Just one sentence in a press release from a maritime lawyer, put out over the Internet today.  Of course we’ve all read that taking a cruise is putting your life in jeopardy.  Over the weekend, another lawyer was interviewed on a Canadian TV show and portrayed taking a cruise almost as dangerous as a stroll through downtown Baghdad.  Of course, the reason they’re making a public relations assault is to generate business.  I think these sleazy lawyers should be shoved off the top deck of a cruise ship.

Have you been affected by the negative publicity?  What do YOU think about the practices of these lawyers?
