2023 Daily Questions: Take a Cruise Day!
Questions found here.
3 - Take a Cruise Day: Have you ever been on a cruise? If not, would you want to? Cruise ships cause major environmental damage: a large cruise ship can have a carbon footprint greater than 12,000 cars, while passengers on an Antarctic cruise can produce as much CO2 emissions on a seven-day voyage as the average European in an entire year. The industry is a major producer of waste, with the total amount of rubbish produced by a large cruise ship exceeding a ton per day. And let us not forget that they are also essentially floating germ/virus labs (even before Covid). So do you still want to take a cruise?
Well, that was a super long leading question, looking for a very specific answer! :P lol. No, never wanted to go on a cruise - overnight cruises. Unless it some mode of transport to get somewhere, but it would be only if there were no other option. I have taken sunset cruises while in Hawai'i. Had a close friend who worked with cruise ships that docked in Honolulu - she worked for the port authority (?) and her part was with cruise ships. And the stories she told kept me far away from ever wanting to go on one! ;) There's a documentary on Netflix N was watching about cruise ships..it's mindblowing what an operation it is. But he also has a friend who worked as staff on the cruise ships and corroborates all that is true. So, yeah - no, not going on a cruise any time soon.
