We are at port in Rome today awaiting the boarding of a new group of passengers.. Only about 400 of us stayed on for the next 10 days. There were 2125 guests and 799 crew on the first 10 days. We traveled a total of 2394 miles and used 80,000 gallons of fuel a day..Makes you wonder what the cruise industry is doing for carbon off sets and to make this a more eco friendly industry.We do recycle onboard, but still wonder about all the trash that is generated. We also produce 450,000 gallons of potable water a day and use 200,000 gallons. The ship operates like an amazing small village town.
We have learned that if we go off the ship this afternoon, we can find true FREE internet in one the little shops. All we have to do is buy a little coffee for $1.50 euro and then log on. Much better than the .40/minute here on the ship.
