What happens when you put proffit before your customers health and well being? They will come out of this with a very 'dirty face'. For years they have been repelling questions about hygeine, blaming 'dirty passengers' for spreading food poisoning on their boats.

Fuck’em!

Go and find money from offshore financing bodies.

Huh!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

good

Why should an International corporation with a large fleet of foreign built and foreign flagged vessels receive our tax $? Provide financial assistance to the small business and the individuals who rely on seasonal tourism $. Not to these large multinational corporations.

No thanks we don’t need these polluting monsters

TheresaSchroe14 BOOTSTRAPS, tell them to pull it up by its bootstraps.

Should humanity not move on from cruise ships? A hugely polluting block of flats on the sea. Too much harm to justify a luxury break for a lucky few.

You can give them 100 billion and it won't save them. Nobody in their right mind is ever going on a cruise again in our life time after watching ship after ship left to die off the coast of civilized nations. Right now people are dieing off the coast of Florida for fuck sake.

They’ve been fined millions of dollars for deliberately polluting the ocean and they register their ships in Panama to avoid paying taxes

Let them sink.

haha

But they haven’t share their profits with the state

There’s an iceberg ahead

Fuck them. Floating pollution factories

But they are not registered in the US. Not sure I understand why we are bailing them out. They dont pay taxes here, a lot of them, in the US. In fact, I saw on an article once they register elsewhere to avoid US laws and regulations for when there's accidents.

No thank you

They can fuck right off.

its the free market sweaty

No. No. No.

Only if they pay corporate tax within...if they are all off shore , sorry 😐 tata

It will be better for the environment too.

An evil evil industry that really doesn’t need saving.

Visit a bank. Take out loans.

£6bn and I have never heard of them. Strewth!

Sink or swim, cruising friends. It'll make the industry stronger ... In the long run. And if that attitude is supposed to be good enough for everyone in the UK, it's sure as shit good enough for you.

Not our problem

Oh no. Enough is enough.

Lotta old chiks on these floating 🧫’s cruisin’ for a bruising!

This industry is registered outside the US. They hardly pay any Taxes. Why are we bailing them out?

Free market free market free market free market...

F* those guys. They want help when they evade taxes by being flagged in another country CarnivalCruise Go ask your flag country for help.

Not to be in consideration

Fuck that noise..

Show them this.

Seek, and he shall.... with any luck, be less than successful.

Then I guess you shouldn't avoid us taxes by saying your company I'd incorporated in Bermuda, foreign companies dont get US tax dollars!!!

Turn them all into Hospital Ships !

Nope.

No way. Horrible, polluting, belittling industry with no respect for the workers or the people in the places they call at.

Cool never stepping foot on a cruise boat.

Wait, the same cruise ship companies that are registered in foreign countries to avoid US taxes? Now they want our tax money?

Surely not. Surely the rich old farts who use this service can pay their own way.

Pretty sure you gave up that option when you started sailing under a Panamanian flag to avoid taxes. Also, I'm trying to think how anyone is diminished if you fold.

No.

Corporations are people who could care not a whit if a poor or homeless person died. So why should we care if they do?

Sink them all, please?

Fuck that

This is their fault!! No way! They can go outta business.

Let them go bankrupt. Let the unseen hand of the market do its thing.

if cruise lines aren't going to recover, why should they receive that money ? let them fall apart under bankruptcy, and then give $6bn to their employees. or countries could just flush that money down the toilet, and then we can avoid future headaches from a terrible industry
