Rare babs135 Posted June 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2017 For UK cruisers or those who can pick up Sky or Freesat - next Monday 3rd July on Channel 4 a programme titled Secrets of your Cruise. It's about the impact cruise ships could be having on the environment. I can hear the groans and moans already. :eek:;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Unfortunately as much as I love cruising there is an impact to our environment from them as there are from many things that are man-made. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted June 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks, Babs- recording it. I wonder whether it will also mention that hundreds of cars and homes won't be polluting during our cruises, nor water used etc... :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted June 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I wonder if it will take to task the airlines, trains, cars, etc., that many people use to get to their cruise ports? Likely not. LOL Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will scare 5% of the cruising public away from cruising and I'll be able to get my next cruise cheaper.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted June 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It will be the same arguement that has been spanning a while. Program: Cruise ships are harming the seas FOA: Cruise companies now ignore us after we advised them for years Cruises: We do this this and this and are improving Program and FOA : cruises are still not doing enough They will then drop in bits and bobs about NORO and sanitarion etc. The show will neglect to say anything that is positive and how cruise ships are fitted with different filters and 25 of RCL's ships have been fitted with a, b and c or how Disney cruises and others got Bs and As in the past from the above FOA. The program will also neglect to compare workload and pollution output to a similarly functioning town. I am huge on envionmental issues and although I recognise the industry is somewhat behind it and not an envionmental saint it is also important to note that you can't simply environmentally update a ship like you can a building and the ships that are being built in recent times are much more enviromentally friendly. I will be watching though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryincork Posted June 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I will be watching the show. But it will no doubt be a one sided account. I do know that cruising is not the most environmentally friendly activity I could do, but the newer ships are improving. And we the cruising public have a responsibility to let cruise companies know that environmental issues are important to us. So they can continue to improve.
