I’m honestly surprised they lasted through the pandemic nonsense. Airlines survived because a lot of folks have to fly.

Airlines survived COVID because the U.S. government bailed them out just to make sure they could pay for the new Boeing aircraft they had previously ordered.
The cruise ship industry won’t be so lucky because the vessels are all foreign flagged, and none of them are built in the U.S.
