Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Super-sized cruise ships are becoming the norm. Is there an end in sight?
One way to enjoy your vacation is to get on a cruise ship. Over 37 million passengers are expected to cruise this year alone, about the same number of foreign visitors to Japan last year, and the number is expected to grow in the coming years. Also, more and more mega cruise ships have been and will be added to the cruise market, which accommodate thousands of passengers at a time. Some of them have more than 3,000 cabins and a capacity of 8,000 guests. Those mega cruisers are larger than mega resort hotels on land, and are almost like resort destinations by themselves. To accommodate passengers of different generations, companions, preferences, and expectations, those ships have neighborhoods or districts in addition to various dining options, shows, shops, swimming pools, playgrounds, and other entertainment facilities. Typically, cruise ships visit popular tourist destinations or tropical islands, but nowadays, some cruise vacations offer an integrated experience in a private island or destination with water parks or beaches. But what about the environmental impact (Vol.4774) of increasing floating cities on the oceans?
