Mikey “Nazi” Bloom-Turd isn’t happy about that devolved ranking; but you’re right.

What a twit - like the cruise liner companies really want to make their source of income suffer through hell. Maybe Chucky would consider a People’s Bill of Rights...oh wait...

You mean you expect consumers to do their homework and figure out for themselves which cruise lines are good and which are not?

Based on Chuck and Biden, I think they should be suing the hair plug dermatologists for making them stupid.

I mean how else could we explain it?

The reason no cruise ships are US flagged, is because congress decided to over-regulate them. They had all sorts of ideas like requiring ship crews to be unionized, and to obey a book of federal regulations several feet thick.

Instead, cruise ships are laissez-faire, ruled by their Captain and company, instead of petty bureaucrats. Much of their crew are recruited from poor countries, and are extra enthusiastic, because by their local standards they are making a fortune and living the high life, even if they don’t make near US minimum wage.

As far as the passengers go, they are respected only as paying customers. If anything bad happens, well tough.

One of the cruise lines attempted to use three US Flagged cruise ships in/around Hawaii. The cruise line said they were responding to requests to employ more US workers. Pretty well flopped since the crews were US union workers. Lousy service, surly crew members, etc. Had to

I read about that. The company was losing multi millions per year and eventually shut down the Hawaiian experiment.

You can’t trust people to make good decisions on important things like a cruise ship vacation. Why they cannot even make good decisions about their own health or self-defense.

What America needs is a group of intellectual elites, functioning outside the moral restrictions of Judeo-Christian values, who are able to see clearly not what the people want, but what the people need - and give it to them good and hard.

Toss in a five year plan, renewable, and now you’ve got the perfect society. Why hasn’t anyone tried this yet?
