Why oh why is no one listening to the protesters??? This is exactly what no one on mallorca wants or needs. Seriously, theses gas, water guzzling and pollution causing ships are a nightmare. The bigger, the more damage. They contribute nothing. They swamp Palma. Hideous :(
The sooner these huge gaz guzzling ships are banned from our waters the better. 3000 passengers on board who at best will buy an ice cream and a coffee to contribute to the local economy. While clogging the streets traipsing mindlessly along behind a tour guide with an umbrella held aloft. Meanwhile the ship sits in the port running its engines 24/7 to run all the aircon and systems, while belching noxious emissions into the Palma atmosphere equivalent to an estimated 20,000 cars! This is one part of the campaign to remodel our exposure to tourism on the island that surely we can all support??
