Australian cruises
Return to DiscussionsAnyone here do cruises out of Australia?
Did one. My wife's brother lives in Australia. Last time we went there, after spending 10 days visiting family and local sightseeing we took a cruise to New Zealand. Great country to visit. We didn't have a balcony so nude time on the cruise.
I personally would not want to work on a Cruise ship, and it seems like there are several companies offering cruises that usually do little to properly compensate work out there for the employees on the boats.
Smaller cruises sound cool to visit on some occasion if they pass near places like the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand and others. I personally would prefer carbon negative cruises on a yacht if they exist yet, and can maintain minimal enviromental impact.
Too bad nothing really is free in commerce anymore, so if it is not commerce and costs money, it usually comes free only if you are doing work for the government or for science itself in exchange for it.
Yes, there are charities, but I do not think that the cruise idea is going to be free, even then. For instance, they may want some donations or funding to keep the idea going from every visitor to their boat to those at least as many places as the places worth visiting.
But I support carbon negative cruising on sailboating yatchts, if they exist and can maintain minimal environmental impact.
Problem now is that if too many people do it, that there definitely will be impact on the environment, and places like Australia and New Zealand will get very badly polluted worse than existing pollution.
