There's a really big "blame the rich for everything" population here. You can kinda tell what political system they favour.

They deposit millions of pounds of shit and other waste into oceans.

They use so much fuel they led to this story.

They are floating petri dishes of disease outbreaks. There's even Netflix docs about it.

A cruise ship transports large amounts of people

who shit in the water and give each other fecal-oral route diseases. I have idiot family members who like cruises and they've all been hospitalized for diseases like: Hepatitis, COVID, and the very popular Norovirus where you barf and shit yourself for three days.

Fun! all inclusive!

IIRC the fuel burned by those things is like the bottom of the barrel and is significantly worse for particles and stuff compared to more refined fuel used for car or trains for example

Yesterdays Left-over pizza. Probably not a full meal but a bowl of oatmeal with yogurt and home-made jam for dessert will fix that.

It's a holiday in Cambodia 🇰🇭

Sauerkraut mashed with potatoes and bacon bits with gravy and a sausage

and they just blow the exhaust into the water.

Many cruise lines have been caught dumping trash in the ocean illegally, or filling up landfills in small coastal towns.

Poop Harder.

Are planes any better though?

I live near a cruise port and know a lot of people who have been on them and not had a problem.

Don't forget to pack a wife

Quite possibly, although cruises don't even cost that much if you compare them to other holiday options. Especially for what you get.

Was looking it up and if I drank more it would easily be worth it with the all inclusive drinks packages and cheaper than a lot of other "budget" holidays. But while I can happily drink over 5 pints on a rare occasion I don't really want to every day for a week.

Holly Molly that’s even worse

The whole premise of this ship’s voyage was for people to leave the US for duration of Trump’s presidency, so it’s basically a ship full of people who fucking hate him.

We have those in Bulgaria too, so fucking yummy

It's an interesting concept, for anyone who actually read the article, and a little commentary on the state of affairs plus what led people to adopt the idea of retirement on a cruise ship. It didn't sound like anyone was upset about it, just happy to have the experience.
It's too bad cruises themselves are not exactly great

You are SO bad at trolling it really shows.

What are you even talking about they're nowhere near each other

Not even the article can read the article because of the paywall.

Oh that's pretty fucked

theres even cruises specifically for elderly retired people. probably wouldnt go on one myself, because its a petri dish for norovirus.

Cambodia is one of the most amazing countries I've ever visited, so not a bad place to be stranded. It's also really cheap there. But fuck cruises, they are so insanely bad for the environment.
