This will be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm not really for any bailout, personally....but I understand the reason the government decided to do it. The cruise industry should not get a red cent from the US taxpayers. They are based outside of the country and pay very little or any taxes to the USA. Due to their foreign designation, they can hire workers at slave wages (which makes cruises cheap). I would be livid if they were given any financial assistance.
