Though cruise season has officially begun, that ship’s not sailing away just yet, and some are noticing it at anchor off Manchester today. It’s the 3,000-passenger-capacity Carnival Splendor (photographed by James Bratsanos as it sailed past Alki towar the anchorage known as Yukon Harbor, after a few days at the Smith Cove terminal in Magnolia). The season schedule shows Splendor is scheduled for its first cruise one week from today.
Here’s a link to a March 2022 article in “Cruise Law News” about Carnival Corporation’s 50 year history. The writer is a lawyer whose firm’s motto reveals the tone of the article: “Everything Cruise Lines Don’t Want You to Know.”
Good article! This is why I will never go on a cruise ship. I wish they could seize all assets from the owners and throw them in jail.
Hmmm, they look like $$$ for our beleaguered downtown hospitality industry to me
Those cruise ships represent life-sustaining income for downtown small businesse and our sales tax base. People who come here, spend lots of money, and leave are the cleanest industry there is.
Sorry, comment time is over.
