A Weekend Cruise Chuckle

I just couldn't resist.

Alan Wilson of Cruise News Daily reports that French economy minister Chrstine Lagarde has pledged the French government will supply funds to keep the STX Europe ship yard at Saint Nazaire from closing. Due to the lack of orders, especially for cruise ships, the yard is running out of work. Minister Legarde states the yard is too big of employer to let fail.

That makes me wonder: Can a "Cash for Clunkers" for cruise ships be far behind?
