Re: Cruise ship collides with dock & tourist boat
Poor cruise ship passengers .
No one likes them because they don't spend money .
They are frequently mugged in foreign ports .
They don't buy much because they are regarded as sheep for fleecing and are often ripped off .
Cruise ships have to pay to dock in ports so the country does get some revenue -they are not stopping there for free .
Generally people who go on cruises are not the super rich and they do take excursions etc when they dock .
So it can't be all bad for the ports concerned .
Despite the whinging from people who want tourist money but hate the tourists .
I might add I have never taken a cruise .
