Where does the trash and sewage from a cruise ship go? Please site your source. Here in San Diego, we are a smaller West Coast cruise terminal. We are also in the process of electrifying the port for all docked ships so they don't have to run their engines while in port.

It would pollute even more as it would require a military escort.

I feel like so many people are wholly uneducated when it comes to regulations around shipping. The shipping industry has incredibly stringent rules and practices to follow through SOLAS, MARPOL and now the IMO is starting to come down hard on emissions. Just like all other sectors, we are trying to reduce our emissions through various environmental systems installed onboard. EGRs, SCRs, EGS- cruise ships are an easy target, but they are not the whole problem.

Cargo transport is way more polluting 10 times more polluting than all autos combined!

Hard to take DW News seriously when it doesn't have an accurate map(2:22). Port Everglade is in Fort Lauderdale not Fort Myer. The result would show that 8.6M passengers sail out of Greater Miami . I don't trust their results if they don't do the most basic fact checks. Other issue is they did not provide citation for the data, was that before Marine Fuel standard being updated 2020. The comparison is not valid if it use pre-2020 data...the article also missed the importance of converting ports to using shore power. This is an editorial piece long on green morality, light on actual cited facts.

I don't get it, if you're paying to visit an entertainment city that swims.....why not just fly to an actual entertainment city on land like lets say Las Vegas etc and probably spend less. I mean with ships that massive there's no point in being on a ship anymore.

You unpack once & most things are included at differing price points. Your food costs for three meals at restaurants will cover the cost of the cruise, especially if you eat in the full-service dining rooms. The accommodation & activities are effectively free; the growth of the industry supports the economics of the business model.

Cruise ships do dispose of waste in the ocean, an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) spokesperson told VERIFY in a statement. However, each ship must follow specific regulatory requirements when disposing of waste into the ocean.May 12, 2022 - Verify. I should point out that EPA rules only apply in American waters.

You have to look at the emissions per passenger. Also compare with the emissions that the passengers would emit if they were at home.

The formula changes significantly when you have a concentration of people/emissions. Also consider that 97% of the passengers would have flown to the departure point creating much more CO2 emissions.

Also don't forget to include that every country tries citizens are responsible for what they consume from another countries exports to them. Easy to say that China or India pollute the most but we all buy their goods. Even just part of their goods on the production line of a finished product. We should always take that on board. The average mainland Chinese use a fraction of what the West does in terms of emissions. Well literally every country does besides the West. I'm from Australia. We are shocking as well.

The cruise ship is just a microcosm of a portion of greater society. It's concentrated consumption with an exaggerated carbon footprint. It's no worse than owning a yacht, private jet, space tourism. It's appealing because you travel mostly at night while you sleep, wake up in a new port almost everyday, unpack once, food & accommodation are included & are more than adequate, & you can be as busy or relaxed as you choose.

The best way I can describe cruise experience is that it’s way better than the sum of its parts. Sea breeze, sunrises, sunsets, convenient food, out of this world customer service, walk back to room after food and drinks, pool access, variety of food, time to disconnect from the world, not packing unpacking, no long waits at airport customs going in and out of countries, entertainment on board for everyone, learning experiences on board, activities that boost endorphins. If you grouped 2-3 together you’d have a nice holiday anywhere, but when you group all that together….. it’s 🤩
