This has been the plan for years but each year it isn't acted on.

Yep I am quite aware it has been under scrutiny for a long while. I mainly posted as I believe there is a wider groundswell of opinion.

Our only cruise out of Venice there was a major thunderstorm. MrP loves thunderstorms and was very happy. I was disappointed.
My photos looked like this:

I like your photos but others are seeing it like this and that is why the locals are not happy



We spent time in an apartment in Creek St Ketchikan Alaska & loved it there (photo from balcony)and got to appreciate how much the cruise ships meant to the towns after talking to a marine pilot-it is a real balancing act that is going to promote much more discussion

There's a Harbour off to the side so the ships berth out of that area. As in the top photo. But can understand the overwhelm.

These images make me want to go for a cruise now. That too in Venice. It is like a dream come true.

I'm on a cruise through the Baltics in 15 days time. Not that I'm counting.

Is it time for Cunard again?
Oh I forgot; we have the AFF cruise in Jan to look forward to.
