Reports on multiple news outlets point out Carnival pays less than 2% tax, yet depends on the U.S. Coast Guard to save it's ships when things go wrong, which they certainly have in abundance recently.
Even the most dramatic of the cruise line problems...the sinking of the Costa Concordia, is a Carnival event. It owns the ship. And Carnival made $5.3 Billion last year. The Coast Guard spent about 3/4 of a Million dollars taking care of the broken Triumph the ship eventually towed to Mobile's empty cruise ship terminal.
