NY cruises to nowhere?

[wezie]

Not sure if this is true but did anyone else hear that NCL is stopping the cruises to nowhere?

All lines in 2016, some kind of Fed act.

Beginning in 2016 due to a change in Custom regulations, none of the cruise lines are allowed to do CTN.

It will be the last CTN ever in the US unless laws change!

If you're thinking that the PVSA is responsible for the loss of CTN's, you're wrong. Unless the US changes the laws allowing foreigners to work in the US without a work visa, the CTN's are no more. Has nothing really to do with ships or their flag. So, if the law changes to allow foreigners to work in the US without a visa, how long before we become like other countries where there are large "guest labor" populations.
