- lb1lf 7y ago-I used to live in a small town (Aalesund, Norway, pop. of town centre - 10,000 or so). It is a popular port for cruise ships doing the Norwegian coast. I assure you, during summer season one could have 2-4 vessels in port - effectively a DoS attack on town. Getting from A to B on foot was nearly impossible, forget any shopping or café visits - a town built for 10,000 suddenly had twice as many people in the streets. Go figure. While the cruise tourists leave a little cash behind, it is much less per head than, say, camper van tourists do. I didn't mind all that much - but I can see valid reasons for not wishing to have a cruise entourage come crashing down on your hometown on a regular basis.
- xiphias2 7y agoThat's true. But the number of upvotes are evidence that I'm not the only person experiencing this. I love to travel, but I try to stay at least 10 days on any place I go to and learn a bit of the local language and customs. For that I really need the airlines to work, but if they get more expensive, I understand, and will just make longer vacations at less places.
