ON EASTER Monday, atop the deck of a 963-foot cruise ship floating somewhere north of Cancún, Mexico, Macda Hailu and DeShun Gilchrist were planning their evening.
On the agenda: dinner, a comedy show, then hitting the club.
“It’s my first cruise,” said Ms. Hailu, a 24-year-old auditor from Byron, Ga. “It’s a good time.
Lots of things to do.” The trip had its surprises, however.
Sometimes I’ll need to watch my language, I’ll turn around and there’s an 8-year-old behind me,” she said.
