  1. There was absolutely nothing offensive about the question. It would be no different to ask if the passengers on a cruise ship leaving Galveston were primarily from Texas. What is offensive is referring to Puerto Ricans as Spanish. Spaniards come from Spain. Puerto Ricans consider themselves Puerto Rican or Latino.

     

    Just because it isn't offensive to you does not mean it is not offensive. Puerto Rico was a colony of Spain and most citizens do have Spanish heritage. Thanks for participating!

  2. On my last cruise out of San Juan with this itinerary (2 years ago), there was a large number of Puerto Rican families on board which was speculated to be due to resident discounts at port locations in an attempt to fill the ship to capacity. Did you happen to notice if this was the case on your cruise?

     

    I am sure if someone asked if there were a lot of black people or white people on a cruise someone would have said something by now. We are cruising from a port in Puerto Rico so an educated person would assume there would be people from PR. Did you happen to ask all of the Spanish people on board where they were from or did you just speculate that all Spanish people on the ship were Puerto Rican. Just an FYI, if you couldn't tell, you made a very offensive statement.
