Schumer Calls For ‘Bill Of Rights’ For Cruise Ship Passengers

This article tells how serious the problems of the ferry ships are. The senator of New York wants the companies to have a certain policies for travelers safety and comfort. 

The senator requires the following:

1.      The right to disembark a docked ship if basic provisions cannot adequately be provided onboard

2.      The right to a full refund for a trip that is abruptly canceled due to mechanical failures

3.      The right to full-time, on board professional medical attention in the event of a major health crisis

4.      The right to real-time information updates as to any adjustments in the travel plan of the ship in the event of a mechanical failure or emergency

5.      The right to a ship crew that is properly trained in emergency and evacuation procedures

6.      The right to backup power in the case of a generator failure

I agree to the senator of New York, because I won't ride ferries if they don't protect my safety and make me worried, causing stress.

All of these things are related to the original Bill of Rights. It requires people certain rights and freedom. It made people to interact with the policies better. This article made a good relevance to our lesson in US History class. If the ferries will have those kinds of policies, more passengers might come and ride the ferries.
