Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the port of juneau and as you can see there's absolutely no ships here at all and there's not going to be through all of summer 2021

it's been absolutely devastating i mean we normally would be hosting you know thousands of people a day we'd have a full house

we're now looking hopefully at may of 2022 so that's a 31 month stretch well over 90 um revenue loss um 96

people think of the cruise industry they think of these big massive companies in these big ships but they don't realize that every one of those ships and those businesses contract with small independent operators
