They waste fuel prodigiously, tripling carbon footprint of guests.
They dodge corporate income taxes and labor protections, and pay shockingly low wages.
They damage fragile ocean ecosystems.
They create massive, harmful air pollution.
Two of the main cruise companies that come to our city have F and C- ratings from Friends of the Earth.
They clog up the Market with people who buy nada. They barely use our hotels and shops; net economic input is $50/person.

Ugh.
