What a modern comment! No, it´s just a normal cruise ship with people as it was before the hysteria started.

Hopefully Genting Dream's new owners will manage the business better than Genting H.K. did. Genting's Symphony and a sister ship were foreclosed upon for non-payment of fuel bills about a year ago while sailing with passengers onboard. The new owner bought them for literally pennies on the dollar a few months back.

Ugly monstrosity. I wonder if there is a greenhouse tax on the tickets, as the Governments forced us to pay to fly, and who continue to keep slamming on car consumption.

That hulk burns around 30 to 50 Gallons ( 225 litre), an HOUR, or put another way, 150 metric tonnes a day.
