Years ago, I went on a three day cruise out of Florida.

I interacted with the Filipino workers and talked with them.
(I always like to interact with the people in my environment and get to know them.)

I found them polite and well mannered to a fault.
Devoted family men who sent their paychecks back home.
Hard workers who did everything perfectly.
They were kind of a force of nature.
