A Cruise

[savagewind]

Going on a cruise with my family has occurred to me and before it gets stuck in my head, I think I have to know how ungreen a Disney cruise might be. I have heard that there are "green" cruises, but really, how green are they?

How ungreen is a cruise ship? Please and thank you.

(I have made the mistake already of talking about it to my Disney loving daughter. One other child says, "go for it!". The other two I have not talked to about it.)

This one's pretty green...

Large ships are pretty fuel efficient. In fact, the most efficient internal combustion
engines are those in big ocean going vessels. So it might be no less green than
going to a land based resort. But I try to avoid travel in part because it's ungreen.
For me, the staycation is best. There's no better place to be than Revoltistan.
But for those who live elsewhere, I can understand the need to get away.

I'm not sure I've seen a green Disney cruise ship.

I worry about.

1. The whales
2. The human waste emptied anywhere.
3. All the other waste dumped.
4. The noise. Which is the same reason I use sour grapes not to go snowmobiling which I love, love, love!
5. Someone just told me they all get sick which isn't really ungreen.

You might look at https://foe.org/cruise-report-card/ which ranks various lines on their environmental impact. Disney scores quite well compared to the others getting an A- And if you look at the 4 Disney ships, "Disney Wonder" would be the choice from an environmental perspective.

As to #5, "all" is a decided exaggeration in my book. There are outbreaks just as one would expect with a lot of people in close quarters.

Have you ever seen any Disney ship?

Have you ever seen any Disney ship?

Why, yes. Yes I have.

 

[savagewind]

That is a real question. @BSM1
Has anyone? I am asking you. What does BSM! mean?






Please.

 

[savagewind]

Why, yes. Yes I have.

Oh. OK. And, what color was it?

 

[BSM1]

Oh. OK. And, what color was it?

The Disney Princess and the Disney Dream are both black and white.

Have you ever tried Tom Cruise?
