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

Barcelona and Greece we'll talk about Barcelona first because I think that's the one that a few people have already mentioned earlier in the live here in the comment section is they were there was actually protesters there at the Cru port and they were they were uh using squirt guns water guns water guns to be able to squirt water the passengers getting off the ship

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

if we spend our money on cruise ships that have six seven thousand people then they're going to keep building them that's true if we spend our money on ships that are smaller then we're gonna give the signal to the cruise industry that we prefer the smaller ships

Creator's Tips & Advice

Support local businesses directly instead of booking cruise-organized excursions when safe and feasible.
Choose smaller ships to signal preference for less crowded experiences.
Spend money accordingly to influence cruise industry decisions.
