We need to change the law governing these cruiselines to where they have to have a certain % of US made vessels in their fleet. The American shipbuilding industry is on life support and needs to be revitalized. Not only would it help the economy but is a security concern.

America has NEVER built giant cruise ships. American Cruise Lines is the only American large cruise ship builder.

Seems like we could use the size of our market to make some demands of those exploiting the market.

Let me guess. A strong 'No Blacks' policy?

If they had one that said “no bigots”, I’d take it solely for the guarantee of not meeting you. GFY.

Perhaps but they lowered their expectations for the remainder of the year at the same time they were reporting this profit. From what I have read, they will need to post at least 8.5% profits for the next ten years just to cover their planned investments.
