Cruise ships are truly massive. These ships can hold many tourists and have a wide array of staff. There isn’t enough room aboard the Cruise ship for them to hold it there, so at some point they need to get rid of it?

Well many of them do dispose of their waste when they get back to port, sensibly and cleanly. Many however have been dumping their waste in the sea. All of the waste being produced by these monsters are too much for them to hold, they now have to dump it in the ocean. This dumping is unacceptable if we want to keep the oceans in clean areas like the Caribbean clean. Around 2003 these ships were creating about thirty thousand gallons of sewage each day. There is not another new study to show the increase of this today.

However this isnt the main problem. The biggest issue is the air pollution that these cruise liners create. The engines that thee liners use are of massive proportion, they burn great amounts of diesel that releases harmful dioxides into the air. When a study was performed over ten years from 1991 to 2001 it showed that the British alone purchased 400 percent more cruises at the end of the 10 year period. There is not telling how many people will be going on cruises in the next ten years. St Lucia holidays have become very popular, the St Lucian government has even banned some cruise liners from entering its waters.

One thing is for sure though, either we find a new way to power these Cruise ships or we are going to have to forget about them altogether. If youre thinking of going on Barbados holidays or having weddings abroad, then think quickly before the Caribbean is just another victim of pollution. How long will it be before we cant visit the Caribbean just because it has been so badly damaged.
