The Rise And Fall Of The Cruise Industry
They made billions for years. Got loads of favorable regulation breaks. Paid NO taxes. And they still went belly up?!?
they paid taxes lmao
@@legomaster06_98 Didn’t you listen to the video
@@legomaster06_98 they barely pay taxes the ship belongs to the country’s flag it sails and say that flag is Panama, a small nation, the company pays Panama taxes while sailing wherever it wants. They also hire cheap labour from poor countries and have to pay minimum wages according to the laws in Panama, while they can sail across the US if they want.
@@pacificxplorer the video doesn't say the whole truth, there's alot of lies. especially coming from industry and knowledgeable of the industry they pay a TON of taxes like docking expenses then docking fees (essentially taxes for docking in usa)
and some (not all) are headquartered in the usa more specifically almost all of them being Miami. they half to pay the same taxes as every other business too.
@@alilalani9531 not at all the truth entirely. yes they hire TONS of nationalities and therefore they pay differently based on where the worker lives. the flag a ship sails under though doesn't reflect where they pay taxes though the flag of convince is the falg the ship sails under and is registered since a line has multiple ships not all are registered in let's say nassau take Norwegian for example they have a ship named pride of America she's registered in America, but nor also has the Norwegian bliss she's registered in nassau. so to resolve confusion the cruise lines pay taxes to where there headquarters is. the flag of convenience is offten the flag if witch the ships home port is but that isn't always the case with that.
It's crazy to see how lucrative and powerful an industry can be, to then just in the matter of moments be brought to it's knees.
They got Bailed Out. They all walked away with Our Money! They don't even pay taxes in the U.S.!!! Trust, they'll be Okay 🤑
(Fact Check; Carnival Cruise wasn't actually "Bailed Out" by the Feds but the Feds intervention in the Credit Markets allowed them to offer institutional investors a return of 11% for their loans due in 2023 instead of having to pay up to %15! The Feds intervention in Credit Markets will save them Billions of dollars in money they will have to pay back investors. My man Bernie got this one wrong but in all fairness, the article in the Wallstreet Journal that reported on this had very misleading headlines. "How the Feds intervention Saved Carnival"... Either way, the Feds have NO problem moving the goal post for the Fat Cats. IF they can't give them a Cash Bailout for legal reasons, then they'll just tweak another nob and get the same result.)
This happened with Boeing also.
They were in the midst of a golden age and then came COVID and now they are almost filling for bankruptcy
@@Simonsays7258 That's the dumbest mentality ever
hundreds of thousands lost their jobs
@@Simonsays7258 why would a non-american company that operates outside the US pay taxes to the US?
All the ports in SE Alaska are devastated financially also.
Skagway, AK lost 95% of it's income in 2020.
Seasonal workers were never hired so they don't get unemployment money.
All the seasonal rentals were empty so landlord are going bankrupt.
The town government has been living on emergency money that's now used up.
This is a town that normally receives a millions guests in the five month season.
Tens of millions of dollars of income are missing suddenly.
I got news for ya... Cruise ships were called floating Petri dishes loooooong before covid.
Exactly
Exactly!!! Years before Covid 19.
Norovirus
Yeah no kidding lol
I was always worried about getting sick on a cruise now I’m really never going on one cuz I’m not about to get stuck on one for however long some jerks want to keep me there
"2020 was supposed to be a record year", it was, but in the opposite side
Lok
i mean they weren't wrong..? it's the record year for losses lmao
Well said!
I was going to say the same thing.
it became cash for clunker program for cruise ship.
Cruises will make a comeback, people have short memory spans and cruises offer the best deal for retirees
NOT IF THEY LOSE MONEY
I feel like with the internet, retirees will be able to access more information, and see it's not a good deal.
I'd go on one if it was a short trip and they had a music festival onboard.
@@pepesylvia848 And if they did not dump plastic and toxic chemicals overboard.
Many retirees prefer cruise ships because they can evade tax. Most countries have some sort of minimum stay duration (3-6 months) which makes you eligible to pay taxes. So moving from one so called retiree home to some XYZ vacation home in another country. It's not just enjoyment...but the sheer amount of money they save from paying minimal taxes.
I love cruising- at least I have in the past. Been on a ton. I would go on another cruise,but not right away. Maybe in another 2 or 3 years from now. Who knows--- maybe Covid will be over by then. If it's not maybe cases will be far far low.
I love how when we compare the size of ships, we compare them to the titanic. Like we were actually on the titanic or have seen the titanic for size reference.
It’s not that. It’s because almost everyone knows the Titanic. They’ve heard of it, and they know it was big.
@@johnbourlier7883 I definitely have no idea how big the titanic was. And I doubt you do as well
@@danieljames404 882 feet in length, 90 foot beam and 50,000 GRT
@@thomasfuller5932 in normal units ?
Well for those with half a brain they know the Titanic was called 'The Titanic' as it was pretty big and the largest cruise ship at the time. That is a good reference for this video I'd say.
I was lucky to leave my Carnival ship on 9th of March, exactly one year ago, a couple of days before they stopped all sailings, few months later I found the news that the ship I have been living for almost 6 months was scrapped and I will be no longer working for the company. It's amazing how much can someone's life change in one year.
Wow, I don't know how that must feel. Hope everything improve in your live.
What was the name of the ship?
@@deltab4077Actually I was lucky to find a better job but at the same time I am kinda sad because for a 22 years old it was a great way to travel around the world and save money at the same time. Anyway I am thankful for having the chance to work two full 6-months contracts, can't believe it but one year later I am still missing waking up in different port every morning and meeting people from all over the world.
@@Shunit Inspiration. I was one of the last crewmembers to actually leave the ship. Few days later they isolated all the staff for up to two months. There were no flights and they couldn't get home for a long time.
@@Kaloyan.Dimitrov Oh damn, there must be a slight tinge of sadness knowing you will never climb such a shop again.
They couldn’t even go one minute without mentioning the Titanic 😂
IKR, and it’s not just the pun.
70 seconds, including the intro.
@@crowbarfish0812 titanic is a word used to describe stuff, but after the disaster, they didn't use that word that much because it became cemented as a disaster, and not a normal word, like if I said trade center, you'd think of 9/11 rather than a market or a walmart.
The combination of "titanic" and "desaster" seems too obvious in the context of this video. But in actuality, the word "titanic" is much older, of course.
@@crowbarfish0812
I can't be sure if that was a reference to the Titanic, or simply a use of the word. Probably a double-entendre.
"They should have told us to social distance, so I'm going to sue them"
Sweetie, you're on a boat with thousands of people, no such thing as social distance 🤦🏼♂️
Common sense is scarce nowadays...
Also it was like right at the beginning of the pandemic. No one knew what to do. Social distancing was barely a thing on land at that point
They are actually mainly suing the companies for telling them that it was safe to go onboard. While the passengers knew of the disease prior to boarding, they had reached out to the cruise liner asking whether it was going to be cancelled, if they could cancel and get their money back (which they were told they could not) or if it was safe to continue. They were told that everything was fine and they were taking the necessary precautions (which they obviously hadn't) and mind you this was the beginning of the pandemic where passengers weren't aware of the severity of the virus and thus put a lot of their trust with these cruise liners in providing such information.
@@chelsea-tt6bs so they are suieng a company for giving them the best information they had at the time which also happenes to be the same amount of info people who booked it had...
@@mustangdemon87 no they are arguing that the cruise companies knew it wasn’t safe and that they didn’t have the appropriate measures in place to ensure that they would be kept safe. Cruise companies have no issue with lying to keep making money, this is just one case among many. It’s about time their held accountable for that.
Personally, I always found the thought of going on a cruise absolutely repellant. The thought of hoards of screaming kids amongst thousands of people all crammed into one place physically repulses me.
I agree - and there's nothing but ocean in every direction to look at. It's also like travelling somewhere exotic but spending all your time at the hotel, and all hotels look the same. Crappy way to travel
Could not agree more. Many people tell me I should experience a cruise. No thank you.
Never been onna cruise like that
Yes pissing in the pools etc, just an absolute cess pit of human filth!
I cant stand apartments let alone a cruise ship, I need space
How this industry has avoided the climate talk baffles me! Plus it seems like the worst way to spend a holiday!
I think it seems like the best possible holiday
@@user-fk8md4jn3i How? You're constantly crowded, are sharing facilities with way too many other people. You spend an insane amount of money that could be spend on longer or more luxurious vacations and you're very much impacted by weather and other people.
I agree, my seasickness has some to do with it but if I'm going to travel someplace I'd want to explore on my own and not have everything on a tight schedule. Besides, port cities are a glamoured hotspot for money grabbing scams for those tourists eager to walk on land.
@@bubbleblow7461 cough
SotS pool
@@bubbleblow7461 it’s not constantly crowded lol but yea IF you want to go get in the crowds you can. I always had a peaceful time on cruises. You choose. I’d enjoy watching the ocean quietly on a lounge chair on deck, hanging out in my cabin, OR enjoying drinks and other activities when I FELT like getting into something loud and crowded.
It's a shame like I wish they can have cruise ships used for different things... Like maybe have them permanently docked in ports as condos. Or as rentals. Or housing for low-income or something. I don't know it just seems like a complete waste.
Great idea
Yeah everything should be a charity now. Just give everyone hand me downs.
@@tejashbista4661 what part of “rental” don’t you understand? People or agencies can rent the space, which can greatly lessen the housing problems. Gotta be spectacular being this fking dumb.
@@tejashbista4661 how dense in the head are you? 😂
The units aren’t built for long term housing and codes for boats and homes are very different. Houses have to meet different standards because it’s meant for long term habitation. I agree would be nice to have some other use though.
It's just ironic to say "it was a Titanic proportion" when a cruise ship in that yard is 3x times bigger capacity than Titanic 😂

This is the prologue to the upcoming "The Rise of Floating Apartments" series in a few years...
I kind of doubt it if they're scrapping so many ships.
@@drivestowork The ships being scraped are elderly ones that were kept in service longer than expected because of unexpectedly high demand for cruises in recent years. There are still about 300 surviving ships and cruise lines have placed new orders for new ships in the last six months.
@@drivestowork most of these ships were scheduled to be scrapped in the first half of the decade anyway, they just brought these ships retirements forward.
@@Dave_Sisson You are right. There's gotta be more than 300 cruiseships tho
@@ilovetyraandnaomi Well it depends on what you define as a cruise ship. There are about 300-ish mid and large sized cruise ships, between 50,000 and 260,000 Gross Tons. Plus lots of small ships and private motor yachts.
“This was a disaster of titanic proportions” ... i see what you did there..
Ba haaaa 😂😂🤣🤣
we all saw it, duh
"The cruse industry quickly began to sink"
Yes, it was the usual cheap shot over something that happened over 100 years ago.
Sorry but that phrase is so overused by now. Can you maybe come up with your own idea instead of just using that cliche?
As an ex-employee with Carnival, I am thankful for the years I spent onboard, very hard work indeed, but at least they paid 10 times more than I would have gotten back in my place in South America, and for the same job. Yes, at home, I would have not worked 11 hours almost without a break seven days a week (for a seven-month term), but when it comes to salary/benefits, it was much more than I could have expected.
And yes, these cruise lines are not registered as American companies. It is very clear in the contract. When I finished my contract I took the papers to a lawyer, who was frightned upon examining the clauses in the contract and the job itself, which the lawyer affirmed was analogous to slave labor. He said I could not do anything if I ever decided to sue the company as I would have to appeal in the Bahamas, instead of the USA.
You know that the polluting cruise was taking advantage of you right? They try to snatch people from weak countries so they give the big company's money. They pay you as little as they are allowed too.
@@insectbite1714 I was not forced by them to stay. I stayed because I needed the money and their pay was far above from what I could get back in my place of origin. In comparison with salary standards for a local US citizen, yes, it was less than minimum but I can tell you that even so, it was an incredible income for me. During vacation I was capable to travel to Europe if I wanted, something I could never afford when working in South America. Even if you are against the cruise industry, they hire millions of people and save their lives from total misery.
@@insectbite1714 Stop trying to be a white knight when you clearly are too ignorant to discuss this. These cruise lines recruit from third world countries because the pay is so great compared to the third world country's pay. Employees can support themselves, their family and their parents on what they get paid and the tips they receive.
If they paid everyone a minimum of $15/hour, then no one but the top 1% could afford to go and they wouldn't choose a cruise ship when they can charter a luxury yacht. And despite what the news media tells you to think, the cruise lines don't go around polluting the waters willy-nilly. There are regulations that have to be followed and those that get caught breaking them get severe fines and restrictions placed on them.
@@grondhero the last part is kinda false, cruise company get away with the most stupid stuff
@@tijmen131 Don't let the media mislead you on that. Yes, cruise ships have been caught, they also have been fined in the 10's of millions.
Right before the "pandemic" started, Carnival had been threatened that if ALL 100+ of their ships in each of their cruise lines weren't up to code, they'd be denied entry into the US. This was a domino effect from their ships caught dumping waste into the ocean.
_Currently_ (although, with the CDC, it really isn't affecting them more than other cruise lines) they aren't allowed to sail in the US.
Here's the most recent video about a judge denying/warning Carnival:

“You didn’t tell me to social distance so I’m going to sue you”. She actually looks like someone that would say that too.
Cruise ships have a legal duty to their passengers to promote safety. They likey breached this duty by not enforcing any safety measures onboard.
Can someone explain how they got COVID while they were on the ship? Did they get it when the ships docked for supplies?
A Karen

typical karen with zero knowledge and blame the others
Man that's kinda a waste of resources... all those ships getting scrapped but it makes sense. It costs more to maintain a ship doing nothing than to scrap it and build new ones when the time comes.
There's a documentary on that ship waste yard and how deadly breaking down those ships are. A lot of the materials used to make and line the ship interiors are super toxic. The poor people who break them down either die from the physical conditions or the long term toxicity of the job. 😬
Its a good opportunity to get rid of legacy ships, none of the big lines are cancelling new ships. At most some have been postponed
@@ellenkuang8853 There's a few places known for being ship breaking yards. The ones in Turkey (shown) are at least the best of the bunch.
@@poorwotan Think Ellen is thinking about a Bangladeshi documentary on ship scrappers. Those guys have it tough, no health and safety and no regard for human life. Turkeys ship yards are in the EU list of approved ship recycling facilities, so they are pretty high standard.

Never understood the allure of cruises. Having to pay for wifi while stuck indoors breathing recirculated air is an instant turn-off.
There fun trust me. It sounds like dog shit, but they made it for me, my favorite type of vacation. going to different beautiful beaches, or sailing to Alaska all while on a ship with entertainment and excellent food? I mean thats the lure to me.
I don't know why anyone would care about having Wi-Fi anyway. The whole point of being on a cruise is getting away from all of that crap and immersing yourself in the activities while you're on your way to destinations. You don't just sit on the cruise ship, there's all kinds of outdoor activities on the ship and there are places that the ship will dock and you can get off and go off on your own or join a tour group or do what you like. I never would have visited the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands and gotten to walk across it and seen distant Islands from its peaks or gone to Mazatlan or explored Old San Juan had the cruise ship not docked there. It's clear because you think it's all casinos and shuffleboard that you've never actually experienced a cruise
Plus, a lot of human trafficking happens in cruise.

Being stuck on a boat with thousands of people sounds like a claustrophobic nightmare even without covid19.
First of all, it’s a ‘ship’ not a boat. You couldn’t put thousands of people on a boat. Secondly, you are talking out of your ass-respectfully speaking. They are very spacious, with tonnes of room and lots of activities. You, in fact, very often forget you are at sea, and it’s more like a spacious hotel. Plus the water is typically very calm.
You shouldn’t criticize what you don’t know or haven’t experienced. They are hugely popular for a reason.
Exactly dude your going on vacation only to crammed into a huge ship with thousands of other people that does not sound fun at all haha I rather go on a road trip or a scenic hike
Amen and Awoman
I went on the Disney Dream in 2017. It wasn’t crowded at all, only around 2,000 people on board
The lines were short and it was very spacious

@@americanpurge She is suing them because cruise ships have a legal duty to their passengers to promote safety. This duty was very likely breached by not enforcing any safety measures onboard. There's a fine line between being a Karen and enforcing basic legal principles.

Go on Viking. They're probably one of the best liners to be on.
They also didn't go belly up and they stopped their liners first in regards to covid
I’ve been on 12 cruises and never had a problem. Also max 3000 passangers even on the largest ship, which was so big I didn’t even get to explore the whole ship in 8 days! Honestly the best vacations i’ve EVER had have been on cruises 🙌🏼
@@bethelight213 have you tried viking?
Why do u wanna sue the cruise ship when they dont even know what in the heck is going on when covid strike
Because people are scumbags and see the chance at an easy payday
greed is a powerful engine
Because some people in our society (and the way financial responsibilities work) have lost any connection to reality. We are basically taught that when something goes wrong and we didn't cause it ourselves, someone else and, in case of doubts, some company, is responsible and we can sue them. The cruise going wrong wasn't our fault, so it must be the companies fault.
When the Ruby Princess left Port covid was present in Australia... By the time they returned many countries were in already Lock down... The knew what was going on bruz
Because cruise ships have a legal duty to promote the safety of their passengers. This duty was breached when the ship became aware of a covid outbreak onboard and did not enforce any safety measures. This case will likely settle because in court this does not bode well for the cruise line company. There's a fine line between being a Karen and enforcing basic legal principles.

Suing a cruise line because they didn't have people "socially distance" when covid was known about for 2 months? I probably wouldn't have went just to be safe but that's just me... Seems like a sack chaser to me
Total Karen move. You're on a cruise ship. How do you expect to socal distance 🤦🏻♂️
I think it's reasonable to expect to be told if you test positive to covid & have the ship's doctor suggest you stay in your cabin, not tell you you're negative & go socialise with all the other passengers - which is what that ship's crew did! Also reasonable for the ship to take precautions with their new crew who had been exposed to covid! Passengers knew the cruise was between 2 countries that were covid free & so reasonably assumed they were as safe as at home
In this case even a government inquiry found they seriously screwed up! The Australian government screwed up too, but no mistaking the fact that a single week long cruise caused covid infections in every state of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, America & suspected cases in a number of other countries with low testing rates & so unable to confirm. Secondary cases from WA to Tasmania to Auckland to LA etc were all confirmed from that ship though - and not a single one of the people who caused those infections were told they had tested positive until over a week after they had left the ship & in many cases they only found out the source when the media tracked them down & asked them if they had been sick! There were dozens of secondary deaths in relatives of people who had been on that ship that were fully preventable by simply telling the over 100 people who the ship's medical team already had positive covid test results for before the ship docked, about their positive test results!
The cruise was between Australia & NZ, both of whom were covid free at the time, so there was no reason for anyone on board to assume they had caught covid while on that ship. They didn't know about the new crew members that had just flown in from the Diamond Princess to join that ship & who were coughing all over their food & infecting them with covid! Likewise when people on the RUby Princess got covid symptoms & saw the ship's doctor about it, they were tested & told they were fine & to continue enjoying the cruise, the cruise medical staff hiding from the patients their positive covid results!
Look at the videos of the people leaving that ship & the crew all lined up forcing every passenger to walk between rows of them & have physical contact with them all! Even those that attempted to socially distance cause they had cold symptoms were denied the ability to do so by that ship's overbearing crew!
Every snowbird is gonna flock onto cruises once they're up and running again. Even this winter, many seniors in Canada were eager to head to their winter homes in the states despite record COVID numbers and the Canadian gov urging them not to
Well since Covid is a new thing any number would be a record. It's a no big deal
Which is ridiculous because a person health is pretty much up to their own responsibility
@@AintItGreat when they're healthy they can talk big about health is their own responsibility. But I remember when they actually getting covid them and their family suddenly blame govt for not protecting them enough. What a bunch of hypocrites 😂

How cool would it be if we could see an entire cruise ship become a Transformer.
What Voltage?
That will be glorious, for sure. And dangerous
BRO I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. OR BETTER YET A TRANSFORMERS CRASHES K EARTH NEAR A MUSEUM SHIP AND BECOMES A FULL AS BATTLESHIP BUT WITH THE GUNS FIRING LASER AND SHIT.
God I must be high. You just made me happy.
That transformer would be HUGE
You mean a Gundam
I've never understood the concept of being stuck for a week and visiting different locations for a limited amount of hours, just to be back o the boat, like wtf
Cruise industry didn't even wanna stop doing cruises during covid breakouts. They have a bad habit of many Illnesses and sickness breaking out.
Been trying to get my wife to go on a cruise for years, & she finally agreed to plan a cruise 1 month before COVID hit last March, & now “that ship has sailed...” I hope the cruise industry comes back.
Viking is sailing ships in 2021.
Your wife sounds like the man of the house
Cruise industry: is successful
1 Small virus boi: i'm about to end this mans whole career
Fair taxation would do the same
I pounder on how my retirement will be and how I can generate more income once I’m retired but just been confuse on a better business and investment I can go into that will bring in massive incomes
@DIANNE why not look into cryptocurrency investment I’ve been trading on it for 6months now and I can tell how profiting it is to me with the help of a professional
With the help of Mr Carlton Jefferson I now earn a biweekly profit of $15000 trading with him
The thing I love about him is how he still humbled himself to teach his techniques and strategy to me I just love him given his best to see me happy
Cryptocurrency is the cool to go with
I appreciate this pls is there any possible way to get in contact with
"Have you ever shot skeets? No never".. And the wife casually chips in "And he hasn't yet"... Buuuuuurn.....
I went on one cruise as a kid, spent most of my time on the deck and about at night so it was pretty nice to basically have the ship to yourself. Unlimited pizza and ice cream in the middle of the night. Don't think I'd ever pay to be on one though.
Wow your brave. I went in a cruise when I was younger and if I was alone at night on a cruise I would be crying and yelling for my mom and panicking looking for light Imao.
@@jaroj1112 I mean I wasn't 5, I was probably 12 or 13 and I was with my siblings
@@WCGwkf oh k
News: "Have you ever shot skeet before?"
Man: "Not in my life"
Wife: "And he hasn't yet!"
....LOL
Definitely pre 9/11 era.
But that would be cool, take out a few clays with a 12 gauge on a moving ship.
She was joking about him missing the sporting clays
Witty wife, hope he has better aim for other things... :-)
@@zapfanzapfan If she's not careful he might mistake her for a skeet.
@@davehenderson3739 well.. then she definetly has nothing to worry about :)
elisa maybe social distancing didn't exist bc it literally wasn't a thing when covid first hit
I know she literally said it herself.
Also very hard to do in a ship that has halls a max 1.5 to 2m wide (Unless you never leave your room at all!) and recycled air and not enough disinfectant or sanitizer onboard to clean every surface never mind multiple times a day for months!
I watched Covid 19 news since january 2020, social distancing was a thing. The virus was all over the world even before its called pandemic in march.
@@fynkozari9271 it was a thing and has been since November of 2019 but social distancing was not a thing until the US went into a national emergency
@@bruhbruh6315 Trevor Noah started the social distancing show in March 2020. It was definitely a thing over 1 year ago.
Cruise lines have billions in the bank, saved up for when a downturn limits their sales. They are good until the end of 2021 or even longer, even if they don't make any money. The airlines could learn a thing or two from the cruise industry.
"They didn't told us to keep social distance"
Yup grown woman it's their fault for not telling you to follow regular precautions like not get too close to sick people and wash your hands.
Theres a lot more to the situation than she let on, the problem was that they let the ~2,700 passengers get off the ship without letting some of them know if they were positive & called them all low risk, allowing them to travel around. The people who were visibly sick on the ship were also not put into quarantine.
I miss cruising, I swear I will never complain about another muster drill. I've learned my lesson..
What’s a muster drill
@@sublimethebot4893 it's a safety briefing or a drill where passengers and crew go to different sections of the ship in case of emergencies (example: to board life boats)
they are changing the muster drill. You will watch video in your cabin, answer a few questions on app, then go to muster to prove you watched it. Carnival- can order food via phone app and it will be delivered anywhere on ship to stop so many in dining room. Ah, and the casino's I understand, will increase in size for social distancing.In addition to cruises not booking full capacity.
@@Edyz2 Seriously, what is the point of paying thousands of dollars to end up basically "Ubering" buffet quality food and eating it at room temperature on a night stand right next to your bed in what is essentially a cramped cell on a floating prison?
@peter burry I have learned that it is safer to go on a cruise than it is an airplane, subway or bus! I have learned that cruises will start back at 60% capacity, have COVID test prior to cruise, and various other safety measures. Planes, buses, trains require nothing!!!
I never really got cruising, literally the worst way to travel and experience other countries and cultures. So water off my back, maybe even leaning towards GOOD!
You cannot explore a new destination with any depth if you only have a few hours to see it.
This industry is not going anywhere. It will return with a vengeance.
I wouldnt say its falling. It's just a low point just like airlines and other companies. So saying the "fall" of cruise ships isnt right
True
Well they did fall, they are now trying to get back up.
"Titanic proportions", I see what you did there 🤣
I had to cancel my Alaska cruise that was booked for September 2020. It will be years before I book another cruise
You booked to go see the last of the ice on one of the machines that are responsible for it. Shame on you.
@@hughfergusson9544 Ha ha ha. Whatever you say and I am NOT ashamed.
@@hughfergusson9544 thats not how it works
I’ve always wanted to travel to Europe on one of those early 20th century ocean liners. Seems like an amazing trip.
let's bring back olympic or something like that :D
No one is talking about the savage wife in the flashback.
Interviewer: "Have you shot a skeet before?"
Husband: "Never in my life"
Wife: "And he hasn't yet"
That was funny!
The cruise ship industry is disgusting on all levels.
4:14 on the video sais the truth. Also I was on a cruise 2 times and 1 time I almost died from food poisioning. They should just not exist.
Yessssss.
Why do you say that? Curious.
@@fatimak6440 Me as well.
Go on down that youtube rabbit hole... if you dare
I swear if Covid ruins Titanic 2 I’m just gonna die
@ALESSANDRO PIOLTELLI It didn’t even exist as a ship though :(
its already fake, he used it as a scam
@ALESSANDRO PIOLTELLI sadly, though there is gonna be a 1 to 1 scale replica titanic in China thats a meuseam currently being made
@ALESSANDRO PIOLTELLI yes atleast, and it will be finshdd as its already almost up to c deck or b deck!
It never even existed and never will.
No problem in the cruise industry. December cruises are booking fast.
I actually was on a cruise ship when the covid thing starting striking places including my state. Im pretty lucky my experience was better getting off the ship even.
Even with social distancing you’re not guaranteed 100% I THINK she might be suing for money only.
There is literally no other reason why people sue
"social distancing just did not exist"
Yeah. It is a ship. There is only so much you can do lady. You should see the crew quarters in the lower decks if social distancing is your main concern. There is no distance to have.
she is a typical Karen
People like her are the reason we end up with crazy weird regulations. So that the people in charge can check a box that they did the safe thing and avoid a lawsuit
Man I hope the cruise industry comes back cheaper 😭
meanwhile, Royal Caribbean just launched their new ship last week.
Exactly..hahah...this news plus the voice over making it so dramatic like cruise industry is going to die.
Hopefully it can hold at least 10000 other idiots.
A build that started way before the Pandemic hit. Building these ships is huge business and employment for 1000's of people across the world. The success of a cruise ship company has a ripple effect that reaches a long way from the spray of the sea!
Went on my first cruise in 2005, and I wished I didn’t! It was like being stuck in floating shopping mall and sharing space with loud, obnoxious people....
as a former cruise worker from Sweden i sooooo miss going on bord and working for 10 days :( maybe one day we can get back at it
Oh my God he said “titanic proportions” :(
:/
Why is that sad?
That's how I like my burgers.
It will rise again! As someone who works in the industry. People of a certain age love cruises and it’s the best way and most positive health wise (less stress) for seniors to travel!
I'm glad the cruise industry is failing, those ships did MASSIVE damage to the environment.
Ya’ll need to watch Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act episode about Cruise Ships. Although sad for those that lost their jobs, I’m glad the companies suffered these losses.
I took one cruise in my life. Apart from the awful environmental damage a cruise ship creates, it was one of the most awesome things I've ever done. I hope the industry will survive and that eventually I can take another cruise in my life.
"I work almost 20 hour days" Cruise Ship staff member.
Um... Where is the exit
Yes please! Tired of these entitled people/ships polluting our oceans. You will not be missed
At least for the past year those cruise ships haven't been striking and killing whales
Only if you ignore the fact that cargo ships never stopped sailing, and there are far more cargo ships.
Wahh wahh stfu,!somebody think the whales’n🙄
@@Weldor123 Whates are important, don't take them for granted.
I will be going back on the cruise ships once this pandemic is over! I love cruises 🚢
There's another reason why I never will board a cruise ship. One, it will be the last way to get out of a war zone. The other is my fear of icebergs.
"This is a disaster of *titanic* proportions"
I see what ya did there
Such a sad thing to watch all these big companies lose money after never paying tax... Oh well xD
”At no point did they tell us to social distance” this is the problem, when are people going to think for themselves regardless of leadership? It’s just blatant blame shifting, take responsibility people.
If they didn't know there was a virus outbreak on the ship and those in charge did, the passengers had no idea on what to do. However, if they were aware of the virus, then yes - it's blame shifting.
@@katyb1813 My point is that people should have enough autonomy to act solely based on the knowledge of an ongoing virus outbreak in the world. Like social distancing at the very least. You don’t always need permission from authority to do something.
The cruise ships wanted bail outs even tho they don't pay taxes. I was pissed to hear them even ask for financial help.
RUclips: Wanna see some expensive ships?
800k people: sure
I don't get why people would want to trap themselves with thousands of other strangers out in the middle of nowhere and pay handsomely for it.
I guess a lot of the people who regularly go on cruises like a predictable routine?
I don't see why people would even want to eat at the same table every day, instead of finding new restaurants and exploring, but I guess that's relaxing for a lot of people. Maybe they're done with too many changes at their age?
@Transitive Wisdom K
AS soon as they open...I am there!
Me too
You old people are dense, quit going on these cruises, they will be the end of you one day.
@@davehenderson3739 yea! Don’t leave your basement
@@lettheboydie Go on old man.
My heart is so sad to see the Sovereign Class and Fantasy Class as well as many more ships being scrapped...
The thing that always strikes me is the people they put in commercials for the industry vs. the people that actually go on cruises.
Holy shit I recognized the carnival inspiration at 1:00, it was pretty fun, and there was 24 hour ice cream and pizza, which really sealed the deal
Wow that would be really sweet. I went on a cruise with msc in the Region of Italy and you had to pay for ice cream. At least unlimited shots of Whiskey were available :P
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t want this impossibly polluting, tax evading industry to continue doing business as usual
I had the luck of traveling in a cruise on new January of 2020 before the virus was on America
I have never been on a cruise ship because they have always been "floating Petri dishes"
Even before this pandemic, cruise ships were the goto place to get a good dose of gastric.
The fact that cruise ads appear on this video is significant. Those who don't want to cruise, won't. Those who do, will ensure the continuation of the industry.
That whole industry is pretty much the epitome of unsustainable hubris, it can't bugger off fast enough.
How dare ppl enjoy their lives and spend their earned money where they please! No joy or happiness for you! Permanently Disappointed said so!
You sound fun.
Couldn't agree more ...
@@chiefrainingstereotype.4184 People can enjoy a holiday without needing to dump boat waste in the middle of the ocean and dodge billions in taxes, without morons like you going "hurr durr he doesn't like fun"
Honestly im happy to see this. Cruise ships cause massive amounts of environmental damage.
As well as all the industries that produce your food and entertainment
@@ilovetyraandnaomi As well as all the gas you pass
Cruise ships are the weirdest invention ever...what big, scary, beasts! Ugh! I get shivers looking at them!
These things are very environmentally friendly, when they don't exist. Let's hope it's not coming back. 🧞
i agree
Never been on a cruise. I don't think I can go to a crowded place like that
Not crowded. Stop believing dumb things.
