Most cruise lines pay little in American taxes; they hire mostly foreign crews; they build their ships abroad. So how do they bring in foreign investment? So how do they MAGA?

They would pay docking fees, they need supplies, food fuel for the ships,etc,
They would help out nearby American hotels American travel agents, and American workers who work ashore for the lines, and local American shuttle services, dockworkers and our airlines.

Undoubtable more, but that is my quick take.-Tom

Cruising is big business and tens of thousands of US jobs are at stake. Support staff hundreds of small US businesses depend on them.
