THE PLASTIC-FREE PASSENGER
More than eight of ten cruise passengers recycle (82%) and reduce using single-use plastics
(80%) while traveling. Seven out of ten cruisers forego plastic straws.
Since there are no plastic straws on Princess I would say this percentage is a little low.  ;D

82% OF CRUISERS LIKELY TO BOOK A
CRUISE AS THEIR NEXT VACATION

This number will probably change drastically in the near future.

This number will definitely change, for the balance of this year. The WHO has stopped short of calling it a pandemic, so far.
