6 Disadvantages of a Cruise Holiday

We all have heard the tragic story of the Titanic. A couple of years ago, in 2012 there was another disaster – the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia sank after bumping into an underwater rock. Do such stories scare people off from taking a cruise holiday?

5. Waste Disposal on Cruise Liners is Horrible
The amount of garbage that piles up on a cruise ship is vast. Do you know where all this garbage is thrown? Well, you might have already guessed it right – all this trash is tossed right into the ocean! Some time ago it was reported that a cruise liner that was about to sail off the coast of Brazil was caught offloading huge dark bin liners full of trash, right into the water. Usually this is done at night and there is no one who would control the process. Unfortunately, tossing rubbish overboard is a common practice that must be stopped.

6. Cruise Liners Ruin the Scenery
Local people say that ships are a huge eyesore for them – they find them unattractive and rather ugly. You might say that this is not really an issue. But the fact is that there are thousands of people who suffer and we cannot ignore their wishes and demands. After all, they have the right to live their lives the way they want to. They are incredibly massive and most of those who see them often insist that they all should be banned. Additionally, cruise liners make too much noise as well and this is another minus for those who live in the areas where there are cruise ships and ports. When docked, all those huge ships block the beauty of the view around. If there were no cruise liners around coastal areas, local people as well as tourists could enjoy the picturesque scenery.
