I have mixed feelings about the cruise ship issue. I would never choose a cruise ship vacation - not when I can sail instead. But I almost always say, "to each his own." I don't like the idea of banning someone or something, but sheesh those ships are so unpleasant in so many ways. Big ships in big cities don't bother me much because they sort of fit in with the scale of the surroundings - thinking Miami. But when you pull one of those big boys into BVI or other small island nation, ack!
