Is this why our cruise ship in hawaii (sailing only between hawaiian islands) was american flagged and crewed by americans?
I was surprised because i always heard stories about how cruise ships are often crewed by exploited internationals and flagged in questionable jurisdictions so that workers can be abused.
That’s exactly why. It’s also why Alaska cruises make a stop in Canada along the way. If they sailed straight between Alaska and Seattle, they’d need to be US-flagged.

Possibly? Im unaware if it applies to things like cruise ships, or if it’s just cargo shipping
