As a Mexican who has seen our beaches gradually destroyed by endless visiting cruise ships year after year, I feel compelled to remind people how terrible they are for the planet.
Not to mention, they are also super legally sleazy. They are often harboured at countries that have no legal protections. If something happens to you on a cruise ship, it's your own damn problem. Being registered in those tiny corrupt countries also means that they don't have to answer for their ecological destruction.
I wish I could be excited about going to such an event. It seems like it would be super fun. But I don't want my fun to promote such evils. I am very saddened by the coral reef destruction I have witnessed first hand throughout my life.
