I'm ambivalent about cruise ship manufacturing location, since it is a niche and luxury activity. Having read the conditions working on those ships though, the US ownership and crewing doesn't bother me.
If the purpose of the Act is to ensure US independence in maritime shipping, why should cruise lines be affected? Even supporters of the Act could probably justify an exemption. I'm talking out of my butt, though.
