She is the newest and probably the most luxurious vessel in the Cunard fleet. The Queen Anne, with 3,000 passengers on board will be sailing into Palma on June 17. At the moment she is still being built but is set for her maiden cruise in the spring. On 9 March 2022, Inger Klein Thorhauge was named the first Captain of Queen Anne. She is Cunard’s first female Captain.

Marvin Le MartianBy the way, the negative vote you have received wasn’t mine. I hardly ever use that option, preferring to express my thoughts via a keyboard.
Marvin Le MartianYet no comments about another headline on the same page about an airline flying in 1,2 million people on 276 WEEKLY flights. Care to guess which of the two modes of transport pollute the most and how much water, residual waters and rubbish the ones flying in will use or generate ? And how many will be all-inclusive, not spending even cents whilst they are there. Am listening.
Rather than commentators deriding other commentators opinions, isn’t it time that the facts were published on the true impact of cruise ships on their port stopovers? Such as: Level of Pollution from the ship itself. Water use, how much is taken onboard and where is dirty water discharged. Real spend in host port shops, restaurants and cafes. Who earns the real cash? Well, we know this one already. Spanish Port Authorities based in Madrid. It’s not beyond some decent researcher with contacts ( listening MDB?). Or is it that the reality is best kept hidden? Either way, I’m happy to avoid Palma if there’s more than one of these things in port. Been there, got the T-shirt, there were 3 of them in port, had that experience once and never again. It was awful.
Lisa JuliaAre you Spanish ? If not, what are you doing there ?
Really looking forward to seeing Palma for the first time.
Oooh, so 3000 wrist band wearing, lemming tourists clogging the streets of Palma, rushing back for their all inclusive grub and spending cents!! All the while, their gas guzzling gigantic plague ship pumps out pollution and sucks up Mallorca’s precious water. Can’t wait :(
