Cruise ships are a dictatorship, run by private companies. The multiracial staff have no voting rights. If they could vote on where to steer the ship, whether alcohol should be banned, what clothes women should have to wear, what books should be banned and what speech is acceptable to say, I doubt the harmony would last very long.

The owners of the ships control who boards either as passengers or crew. Imagine a bunch of third world refugees boarding and demanding that they be paid but not paying a fare or earning a wage. Do that thought experiment.
