That seems really low to me considering the NYC Marathon brings in $250 million in just one weekend not including the $30 million it raises for charity.

 

Is cruising that small of an industry, are the cruisers that cheap, or are the cruisers mainly from the tri state area?

I wonder how many people will deduct the parking as a biz. exp.
