The problem is, people who stop are not an effective force for fixing this, as they effect good actors equally as much as bad ones. To fix this with consumer pressure, you need consumers who still buy cruises, but discriminate based on how well the workers are treated (and are willing to pay the premium for good treatment).

It seems similar to the coffee market.

The industry should create a mark that represents and enforces a minimum of worker treatment, but doesn't appear to be as imaginative as Starbucks.
