Honduras Cruise visitors enjoying life!

A maritime lawyer has drawn up a list of the world’s most dangerous cruise destinations.

Jim Walker (known as an ambulance chaser who in my opinion should be disbarred) has compiled the list based on information and complaints from cruise passengers who have contacted his US law firm.

He decided to investigate the most dangerous ports after the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime recently released a Global Study on Homicide in 2013.

“The most dangerous countries mentioned in the study read like a cruise line itinerary,” said Walker. “Honduras (1), Venezuela (2), Belize (3), El Salvador (4), Guatemala (5), Jamaica (6), St. Kitts – Nevis (8), and Colombia (10).

“Cruise lines spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year creating idyllic illusions of tropical vacations on beautiful Caribbean beaches. But behind that slick marketing facade lies danger.

“A few people complained of being pick-pocketed in Italy. But we have received no reports of guns or knives from people visiting European or African ports ever. Of course, ports in Australia and New Zealand are fabulously safe. We have also never received a complaint about crime in the Asian ports.

“We know what people will think when they read the list – ‘Crime occurs everywhere. Just use common sense. Stay with the cruise line excursions ashore’.  I say nonsense to that. The fact is that crime occurs in certain places far more than others. No one has ever contacted us about crime during a Seattle, Vancouver or Alaska cruise.” (Get a life how many countries and states have you been to? Bet I got ya beat! Been robbed three times in Chigagoland and my wife was mugged in Seattle . Car was broken into various times in different states etc. Every state in the continental USA plus the others off shore, I have actually lived in most of them as a “Techy” and as a “Journalist”) Common Sense is common sense and have you ever been to LA, NY, Chicago who actually tops San Pedro Sula murder rate? Get a life dude! I lived in Chicago for over 30 years and always carried a hand gun on the late night “El” since I have been in Honduras going on 12 years now I don’t carry a gun, just a really cool German shepherd. Common Sense is Common Sense it is NOT nonsense!

Things happen everywhere including the corner around your place, Just look at all the dark crime motivated TV series and movies the US produces. The US state department says it in bold words, “Use common sense”.

Don’t let this ambulance chaser discourage you from visiting our awesome country of Honduras.
