Cruise Safety Act Navigates  Congress
 Ken Carver, President of the International Cruise Victims Association
Since our last conversation with Ken (Transcripts Available HERE), the Cruise Vessel Safety and Security Act of 2009 has been making its way through US Senate and Congressional committees. The legislation is even receiving a solid push from the cruise industry itself. We get an update on the progress of the bill and the surprising plea from the cruise line industry to a US Senator to stop blocking progress on this legislation. As always, Ken is a marvelous guest with great insight into the cruise victims and their long journey to justice.

The Passion Play of the Decade

 David Costabile, Associate Director of International Product Development for Collette Vacations

 

Besieged by war and plague, in 1633 the people of Oberammergau, in southern Germany promised that if God would spare their Bavarian village, they would devote a year of their lives to

re-enacting the life, death and resurrection of Christ. The result is The Passion Play, a once in a decade event that perhaps may be grandest theatre performance ever created. Highly recommended in 2010!
