GM did not own NCL.  They owned stock in it, but I don't think enough for 
control.  Enough to be favored on NCL's bus purchases, to be sure, but not 
enough to do what some fans think they nefariously did.

CF St. Louis, for example.  NCL was just a sensible business, not the 
monster it is often portrayed to be.
