Lets look at this from another perspective. The cruse line wants to profit as much as possible so they hire substandard cheap workers that don't care or don't even have a know-how how to benefit the company by:
a.) organize fundraiser on the cruise so people can support the efforts where say 100% of the money goes to Red Cross
b.) create an op-out list a passenger can skip one meal and that meal's worth of food will be donated to the community in need (which can add up as there a hundreds if not thousands of passengers on the ship).
c.) have a press release where they talk about how business-as-usual actually brings in some good - thus get fantastic free publicity.So everyone would be a winner: the Haitians get some extra $ and food from the passengers and the company gets free publicity and world at large sees that maybe there is some good in this universe.
But NO. The company hires the cheapest (thus the least creative) work force they can find that feels so underpaid and so abused by the company that they really don't care... And everyone, especially the company getting bad publicity looses.
