As far US crews I bet you would be hard pressed to find enough personnel in the entire country to fully complement one Carnival vessel.

Doesn't Norwegian Cruise Lines have a few US-flagged ships? I was reading an article about Pride of Hawaii, which is a US-flagged ship with an entirely US crew. It holds 2,466 passengers. The article also mentions Pride of America and Pride of Aloha, also US-flagged ships.
