Seems like saturation has gone straight out of the porthole!!
Wow - more bad news. How to spread the virus and destroy the environment in one swoop! These plague ships do nothing for Mallorca, other than disgorge thousands of tourists into Palma, who spend little and create massive disruption. Lesson for Government, post Covid put controls on this non environmentally friendly scourge.
A disaster for Palma. Pollution, crowds who bring little to the economy and fill the streets with noise and rubbish.
You've always been able to book a cruise for the 2020, and 2021 seasons all through the pandemic, with TUI as well. Then they're cancelled in batches each month in line with the current rules and government travel advice warnings. It's very optimistic that there will actually be any cruises this season according to the experts. Even with total vaccinations, the cruise lines cam't afford any outbreaks, and you can't insure against any costs incurred by any party. but nothing to prevent you booking one of course.
Great News Back to the old days , smog in and all over the town from the Cruise Liner´s all day and Night !
