5. They won't send thier ships into that storm.

They also have bookings from here to eternity, and no spare ships.

10. Yup, the lines would need to cancel cruises, and their insurance probably wouldn't let them either

Insurance wouldn't insure them for that type of activity either. Would also be an invitation for a shareholder lawsuit.

This a job for the government, put our oversized navy to productive use.

Especially since cruise lines have done it before.

In case that's too much context, an example:

"Norwegian Cruise Line, in cooperation with the government of St. Thomas, deployed Norwegian Sky to the island to rescue thousands of displaced residents and stranded travelers."

12. Any cruise ship

Which is registered in the Bahamas should be required by law to do so - of course, any country that offers itself as a tax haven for companies in that way is unlikely to impose such a law.

13. Disney wouldn't even evacuate their own employees
