Title: Juneau activists want cruise ships banned on Saturdays and on the 4th of July
Post by: Host Mike on April 14, 2024, 06:37:38 AM

"Activists from Juneau are working on banning large cruise ships with over 250 passengers from docking at the island on Saturdays and on the 4th of July. They hope to decongest the city one day a week while restoring residents’ quality of life."

"In 2023, negotiations with cruise operators led to a 5-cruise-ship-per-day limit and a dramatic reduction in trash from cruise vessels."

Just wait till next year when they'll have to raise the port fees because of not getting sufficient funds because of reduced ship traffic.  ;)
