Passengers who booked trips have been told refunds will be issued in monthly installments
…
Life at Sea Cruises’ first three-year sailing was announced in March and promised passengers willing to fork out at least $29,999 per year
Cruise ships really need to disappear if we are gonna keep this planet somewhat livable. Mega polluters.
The problem isn’t the ships it’s the insane amount of diesel they suck down. We already run giant ships powered by nuclear reactors.
Honest question: do the use diesel? A lot of big ships when they are not in a nation’s waters burn bunker oil which is significantly worse.
Cruise ships are pretty big polluters, yes. Cruise passengers have about 8x the emissions that they’d have from a comparable land-based vacation.
But when people talk about ship pollution, they’re usually talking about non-carbon pollution.
For example, ships often burn heavy fuel oil, which produces tons of sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain, and NOX, which depletes the ozone and causes smog and asthma.
Cruise ships are bad for the environment, but there’s honestly bigger fish to fry. Gas power plants are way, way worse for the planet.
It’s all bad. This isn’t a competition. It all needs to cease.

Nations won’t stop using oil as long as it is economically viable.
We’re already forced to burn oil to power air conditioners so our elders don’t die in heatwave. Just imagine the inside of a giant Vegas casino without electricity.
Way to complete ignore my point.
You said we will still use oil because it’s profitable. I said that we can’t stop using oil, because our earth is too hot, because we are too much burning oil. How am I off topic?
My point is, it’s not economically viable for an elderly Texan to spend 500 bucks on inflated energy prices during a heatwave, but it’s not like there is a choice. We’re gonna burn it all up because we don’t know how to stop.
So they sold tickets to a cruise… But they didn’t have the ship ready.
It’s worse even, they couldn’t afford the ship. They claimed the sale was taking too long, when they couldn’t afford it, and another company bought it out from under them.
So… if I wanted to do a scam… and I’d sell tickets to a cruise ship for 3 years, upfront payment of $90k… let’s say I sell 2000 seats for $180mil.
Is that enough money to disappear forever and live under a false identity?

Slowly paying it back
Unless you declare bankruptcy.

Maybe, maybe not. But if you’re paying back in monthly installments, there’s still going to be a lot of interest for you to live off of in the meantime.
Yeah, I’ll… pay it back. Promise.
I am legally required to say no.
yes tho
Why are we linking to a Fox News affiliate?
The article itself seems quite factual and straightforward. The comment section on the other hand…
Lmao this small business paper where I grew up just did a little blurb on a local executive “living at sea” for three years - article came out days after this was all canceled
Womp womp
