Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been to some ports where we've been there with four or five ships some of them being what people call the mega ships and it's been so congested with tourists that you can't sort of enjoy the the um port

we love going these places because these people live in these beautiful locations want to go there we try to do what we can to help support you

the cruise industry can push back and boycott Barcelona if they're not going to play fair and that kind of really shocked me

only 5% is from the cruise industry so 95% of the tourists are not from cruise ships but yet cruise ships seem to be the first ones that are attacked when we're talking about over tourism

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Support local businesses directly when in port instead of booking cruise excursions
โœ“Choose smaller ships to send a signal to the cruise industry about preferences
โœ“Spend money on cruises that align with your values to influence industry direction
