Who would want to be locked up in a floating mega hotel with 2000+ other people who do want to be locked up...? the horror. I call them Billy Butlin Boats because that's really what they are, as real cruising died when the proper liners stopped being a way of actually getting somewhere and not just milling about trying to find ports that'll take their monstrous, hulking ugliness. Right that's me said.
So I’m confused one minute Mallorca/ Palma want to lower the number of cruise ship then on the other hand say There are those who wish to demonise it, but it shouldn't be forgotten that cruise tourism is vital to Palma's businesses. It generates approximately 6,000 jobs and is estimated to contribute gross value added of 256 million euros."???So what I’m not understanding is if Mallorca half’s the cruise ship wouldn’t that half the employment and half Palma takings but it will extend the dole queue ??
Who wants to stop the cruise liners ?
