I read an article about the true financial windfall that Katrina enabled the Cruise industry to collect on. The federal government is leasing the three ships from Carnival to aid in the relief and rebuilding effort for Katrina. From Carinval's perspective, the money is just making up for the lost profits.
This reminded me of an interesting report from "The World" on NPR I heard about the way a cruise ship is run. The number of crew on a cruise is amazing. Cruises are also highly diverse. The report comes with a Marxist slant, but it is interesting nonetheless. I'd love to hear your perspective.
