1. Ok, but only briefly:

Clearly it would not increase the debt as you implied.

If you booked it through an American travel firm, or went on an US chartered cruiseline, or purchased airfare to the port....You would create taxable income for each of those entities which (taxes collected) would result in lowering the federal deficit.

2. Yes...you are wrong about that too.
