The 2019 Cruise Ship Report Card has been released by Friends of the Earth (FOE) and most lines fared poorly in the report. But the cruise industry is hitting back on the poor evaluations.
USA TODAYAn environmental organization has released its grades of cruise lines and ships — giving most of the lines D’s and F’s — but the cruise industry is hitting back on the poor evaluations, citing tight regulations of the industry and calling into question the report card’s methodology.
Friends of the Earth said in its report card summary that taking a cruise can be more harmful to the environment and human health than other forms of travel. King said the cruise industry is highly regulated and uses a wide variety of emissions control measures along with advanced wastewater treatment systems.
The grades for each of the four criteria were then averaged to calculate the"final grade" for each cruise line.
