sucks to have to rely on other people everything here seems on the up and up, just ambitious and from people without the network to support it unilaterally I think alot of people, including this community, have sold a dream of entrepreneurship that doesnt really apply to the have nots, using the faces of people that only pretended to be have nots. And that leads to outcomes like this, where entrepreneurs are entirely dependent on investors they have zero clout with that are more flaky and noncommittal than when the entrepreneur has a ton of their own capital already in.

> everything here seems on the up and up, just ambitious and from people without the network to support it unilaterally Nothing about a brand-new cruise ship company that hasn't actually done a single cruise, doesn't actually have a ship, choosing to embark on a three-year voyage, on a rush-job retrofit vessel is 'on the up and up'. (While charging less than half of what their competitors would.) There are so many ways it can turn into a horror show. There's probably damn good reasons the investors flaked out.

  >There's probably damn good reasons the investors flaked out. The article mentions the ship they were previously going to use was decided to be "too small" but was also derided as allegedly unseaworthy. I'm sure the investors know more red flags than we do.
