Becca Navigator was just there and from their report..I learned they dropped off 100 pallets of food/water this trip. I received the same feedback about locals being grateful for the ships calls. Next trip, incidentally, Navigator is reputed to be dropping another 163 pallets of food/water and this time, meds. It's a good thing!!!! |

A letter from Adam Goldstein explains why they returned and has the following excerpt: All of our ships calling into Labadee® are transporting much needed supplies to Haiti, amounting to over 120 pallets in the first week alone and more is on the way. Our lounge chairs have even become useful as makeshift hospital beds to help treat the injured. Royal Caribbean® has pledged at least $2 million in humanitarian relief including 100% of the net revenue generated during calls to Labadee®. Additionally, guests onboard our ships will have the ability to donate to Food for the Poor's Haiti Relief Fund through their onboard accounts if they elect to do so. In response to numerous suggestions regarding guest participation in the recovery efforts, volunteers on some ships calling into Labadee® can join us in assembling backpacks for kids which we will be donating to the local community. -- - dillon I am not invalid I love my country, It's my government I fear.

I thought it was nicely written and a good idea they sent it to their customers. I did get a chuckle that after Royal Caribbean and Labadee they put the ® symbol. -- Charles |

It is with my mine, for my agency name of Ship-To-Shore Cruise Agency® is a federal registered trademark, and every time I refer to it in writing, the ® symbol is required. I don't think it's legally required, but it is a good practice. To keep this vaguely on topic, those of us who have visited Rome on a cruise have seen many examples of an early "trademark": SPQR, dating from before the Common Era. |

The reason to use it is that the collection of damages could be delayed if the infringer claims ignorance of the trademark. They might start at the date the trade mark owner sends a cease and desist letter instead of earlier. I for one did not know Labadee was trademarked. That Royal Caribbean was trademarked of course, but I thought of Labadee as a place name in Haiti. That mark in the letter was what made me aware that the name was trademarked. -- Charles |

It is legally required to keep the trademark. Kleenex, cellophane, among many others were pulled because they had entered common language. I worked in newspapers long enough to know about the letters you'd get if you forgot and the full page ads in Editor & Publisher about Xerox being spelled with two Rs. -- To find that place where the rats don't race and the phones don't ring at all.

Scott Kirby "If once you've slept on an island" I don't remember all the ins and outs of Kleenex becoming a generic term for "facial tissue", but Kimberly Clark fought hard for its trademark. I don't recall that use of the symbol was involved. They did suddenly start incorporating the name "Kleenex" with other of their products as a major thrust of their effort. It was a classic law school and business law topic for years. It doesn't seem fair when you make a product that is so good and so successful that big brother takes the name away from you.
