What Economic impact does not having cruise ships (all) sailing?  No food, liquid, fuel, port staff, luggage handlers, crew etc. Has to hurt a lot of places.

If you are referring to the economic impact of ancillary services and businesses, cruise ships not sailing will have a tremendous negative economic impact on those that service cruise ships, especially in the large port cities throughout the world. 

In a study done by the Florida-Caribbean association,  they estimate the numbers to be nearly $3.4 billion in direct expenditures, 79,000 jobs and $903 million in employee wages just for the Florida-Caribbean region.

 

Globally, those numbers are  around $126 billion in total economic impact, and 1 million jobs paying $41 billion in wages.  (This includes the operations of the cruise ships as well not just ancillary services)
