Heck, the Indonesians are probably crewing cause 1) it pays well and 2) they don't have to put up with crazy Muslim fundamentalists...

I just returned from a caribbean cruise and my room steward was a wonderful young woman from Indonesia. I asked her how she got to work on a cruise ship and she explained there is nothing in Indonesia that allows them to make any money to live a decent life. The only ones who live good are those who own their own business (which is her goal and is saving her pay)and those who leave the country to find better jobs.She & her husband both work on the ship and their child is taken care of by her parents. We talked quite a bit about her country and it's problems and I found her quite willing to talk about the terrorists etc. and the future of Indonesia. She is not very hopeful for a future there without terrorism.
