The cruise industry says it forges symbiotic relationships with communities and brings economic boon to ports. But around the world, from Venice to Juneau, Alaska, to Bar Harbor, Maine, residents are rising up against what they consider a scourge on their communities.
In some port towns, it’s residents vs. cruises: ‘We’re going to eradicate them’
From Alaska to Maine to Virginia, residents are using their voices and the law to preserve their communities.
