A cruiseship carries 2 to 3000 passengers, naturally

there are bad apples among them.

As for Belize - cruiseships dont even come into port - they anchored far far out. In fact, Belize is the only port we encountered that have almost 45minutes tendering to port. Cruiseships also use LOCAL BOATS for tendering at Belize, to give business to local business, instead of using their own tender boats (the liftboats are also tender boats).

PADI would not partnering with Princess Cruise to offer New Wave SCUBA and Snorkeling programs if the cruiseships are irresponsible for the environments.
