Good on them! :)

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaishin108]

Maybe just don't plan a cruise right now. ;-)

[disneydream06]

Thankfully I am not a cruise kind of guy.
My friend down in Florida is always trying to get me to go on one and I tell her the only way I would do one would be on a Disney Cruise line ship, and she's like No Way. lol........

[kaishin108]

I'm not a cruise person either except if it was a smaller boat and a river cruise but even that, I just dunno. That would be perfect for you, a Disney Cruise!!

I always thought a trans Atlantic cruise on one of the old luxury liners would have been cool.
Or a cruise around the Norwegian fjords, or maybe a river cruise on the Rhine. :)
Mom and dad did the Mississippi Queen down the Mississippi River back in the day. :)

[kaishin108]

The fjords would be really cool. But those big ships. I hear countries get upset these days with the bombardment of tourists all at once.

The Mississippi Queen sounds awesome!

The size is another thing I am not a big fan of.
Way too many people in a little space. :o

[kaishin108]

Right, like during Covid!

[disneydream06]

And those stomach bugs that some ships have been swamped with. :o

[kaishin108]

Yes that sounds truly awful.

[disneydream06]

Dry land just keeps sounding better and better. lol......

Oh get this, I heard on the PBS news this morning.

The cruise ships do not meet EPA standards when they dock at Key West. Tests show they are disturbing the endangered coral reef. But instead of stopping the cruise ships from docking there, they suspended testing - indefinitely.

Leave it to Florida!

I doubt we will have an EPA for long anyway, sigh. :(

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD!

I don't think people realize that while Canada is not officially tariffing American goods, the Canadian people certainly are! And I expect the Mexican people and a lot of other people around the world are. And as we escalate tariffs and abandoning/breaking treaties that were formally signed, this will escalate.

[disneydream06]

We are getting exactly what He deserves. :o :o :o

Good for Norway, they are very good at finding ways to protest. They have a system where by lots of companies come to agreements together to make goods in short supply as a protest. For example, if a car producer was being unfair in some way, all the companies making the various car parts would agree to stop sending those parts. The effect on the car producer makes them think about what they are doing and forces them to reconsider or compromise :) Maybe I could stop buying Californian wine as my protest contribution ... 🍷

One more reason to LOVE the Norwegians. :) :) :)

So long Cali wines. :p
