How Ports Are Trying to Stay Afloat Amid Cruise Industry Shutdown | WSJ 

If Cruise lines wanted aid, they should have registered domestically

Why would the USA bail any of these cruise lines, They ALL (-1) have chosen to fly another countries FLAG - GO to Panama 🇵🇦 and get your money since u play these games of not paying USA Taxes

30 minutes after Wendover Production’s video. So close.

Wow!!! I feel real sorry for the cruise industry. 😳Have you ever tried to get your money back from a cruise ship company?

The cruise lines are not registered in the US so they are not entitled to bailout money.

You don't abide by U.S labor laws or pay U.S. taxes. You haven't and shouldn't get U.S. taxpayer money or support.

Want Amercian customers but no Amercian tax.

There's Wendover Production and then there's everyone else

So much anti-cruisers here in this comment section 🙄🙄

Here a thought go back to the ports that these ships fly their flags under and see if they will give them a bailout. Not too big to fail.

Who said that infrastructure in the United States was deteriorating. The cruise ship port just finished at Port Canaveral shows that 'infrastructure' in the U.S. is in top shape.

Maybe the owners should have invested in stocks and stopped buying coffee and avocado toast.

I haven’t been on a cruise in 20 years, so it doesn’t bother me. I’m guessing the government didn’t bail them out b/c they are registered/headquartered in other countries.

Excuse me, but since these ships are registered in other countries outside the United States to avoid paying taxes. Why should they get a break?

Despite the methods of how cruise lines work, this specific video is talking about the PORT and how it functions in that locations economy. A lot of people just went straight to the cruise lines... regardless, the cruise/travel/hospitality is the largest affected industry globally including all other business and industries that rely on that sector.

there are planes for long distance travel.for fun on water there are small boats like yachts so why make big cruise ship?

They should begin scrapping the cruise ships or converting them to container ships.

Awe, those poor criminal enterprises struggling to remain profitable. Maybe we should give them free room and board in our prisons so they don't end up on the streets begging for food.

investing in bitcoin now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

I have no sympathy for the industry and as foreign registered entities.

Airplanes, cruiseships, etc... I feel sorry for all the crews and staffs...

5000 people weekly for the new terminal

Half as interesting did a more comprehensive video

Floating Petri dishes.

The terminals should be charging the cruise lines for docking there how come they don’t have money

Simple solution register cruise on America soil and PAY TAXES

What can I say ? Cheer up dear Friends and Travelers !

I've never seen so many uneducated comments on one thread, This port directly employs over 250 people which has been dramatically cut. Beyond that you have local vendors, porters, security guards, stores, and the other necessities, All of which do not work for the cruise companies. These are American jobs lost without the cruise business, and families suffering. It makes me sick to see people say things like "just move" or "just find another job." when these people have build careers out here.

Third world registered ships and crews❓

Longshoremen? My cruise ship had to wait 90 minutes until a Cadillac drove up to the bollard and a heavyset guy rolled out to release the mooring lines.

Geez, after watching Wendover's video on this subject, you can see that the WSJ didn't do much research. At least they included a bit on the ports, which is what their title states it is about. No idea, aside from theatrics, why they'd mention the foreign cruise lines didn't receive US money. IIRC, the cruise lines didn't even ask the US for money (they did do some private funding, though). Cruise lines are good for a while. We just need to stop treating this virus as the boogeyman.

Go to panema for aid since you dodge taxes there

What happened to all the money you saved by not being US based companies to avoid paying taxes, the minimum wage, or offering health benefits? Perhaps you should talk to Panama about a bailout not the US govt.

Almost all the cargo entering US ports is on foreign flagged ships. Why is it permitted? And, don't give me the "essential business" line of BS.

well is there a plan to bring back the cruise industry especially with vaccinations happening?

The delirious palm apically jam because partner bioinformatically face before a brawny romanian. woebegone, boundless study

you get a like just for the pun in the title

WHY CANT SOME CONTAINER SHIPS PARK OFF THE COAST AND CRUISE SHIPS TRANSPORT TO THEIR PORTS.

- Only Disney cruise is worth buying. Other cruises don't have the safety and security and their stock are junk.

Inside empty, outside WINDY.

DeSantis is suing the CDC. For not allowing Cruises.

now do a video on how much emissions cruise ships would have put out in the last year

If a company during good times spent their profits on share buybacks, they shouldn't have been bailed out, they should've been nationalized or try to raise money like Boeing did with their massive debtload. These airlines made flying so much more uncomfortable with their tight seating. They pad their profits for sharebuyback. Now they got bailouts. They better make their seats wider.

I'd also like to hear about the positive impact on the environment. End of the world delayed by a few months thanks to cruise ships not operating.

I’m sure the oceans appreciate it

They need smaller ships. Key West and other ports get swamped with gigantic ships carrying day-trip tourists

Nice video.

Hopefully this industry never comes back just like other past failed industries.

Very good

Dang shame

Really love this 👍

Anyone posting negative comments about the Cruise Companies (passenger ships) will be the last person on the ship if planes won’t be able to fly one day.

I have the least sympathy for cruise business.
