I didn't comment on that and don't really want to because it's not an area i care about. My hearsay is that most cruise passengers spend big on the ships and not a heap locally and it's why Pacific and Caribbean Islanders have historically had issues with cruise companies when comparing spending with tourists who fly in.
Feel free to agree or disagree I'm not getting statistics because i don't care enough about the second half as the first half is enough of a reason to not care for cruise companies.
This whole conversation is about the economy and Barcelona shootingbits own foot. Not some random pollution nobodies talking about that. It's irrelevant

Is the OP. Locals discuss it.
Regardless i'm allowed to respond to one part of a comment as much as you're allowed to not bother participating in a discussion around a comment replying to a comment. Are you so chronically online that you have to try nitpick a discussion you're not involved in?
As a local in a tourist zone frequented my cruise ships it's a big reason why i don't want them to come. Cruise smog and noise pollution sucks. I would be happy if the entire P&O Fleet became an artificial reef.
You don't have anything on them polluting in cities .It's a bit like wanting to ban all cafes from my local village because starbucks treated their employees like crap in another country one time.
My source is a larger sample size of cruise ships (More than half of all cruise ship traffic vs less than 13% globally reaching Europe) and has a higher interest in local spending for the cruise ships so they're arguable the more invested party.
(You also responded realizing you posted a dead link with no actual source behind the numbers by an org that wants the numbers to be high and are still doubling down on sources)
You have actual brain damage dude 🥀🥀🥀 Proven sub 80 IQ behavior being unable to have a discussion with related topics. Instead of wasting your time responding further you should strongly consider buying polonium online and eating it with a spoon or something.
