Cruise ship pollution is in full swing at Ogden Point with Azamara Pursuit & Norwegian Joy. Anthem of the Seas arrives momentarily to add to the emissions-fest. I don’t understand how Victoria elected officials aren’t horrified by this and doing everything in their power to stop it. 💔 #yyj #yyjpoli

It was three cruise ships yesterday, four more today. In case you missed it, here’s what Norwegian Encore’s emissions looked like last night. I wish I could post the smell… It boggles my mind that BC has a no idle law when this happens in Victoria almost every day. #yyj #yyjpoli #climatecrisis

Victoria, 4-cruise ship Sunday kicks off at 630am and runs to midnight. Awake to the tang of pollution, see tankers & trucks take cruise ship garbage to points unknown, revel in shuttles blocking Gov't Street, and enjoy the Taxi 500 thru residential streets thanks to Joy, Pursuit, Anthem, Poesia.

It’s Cruise Garbage Saturday in Victoria via Star, Noordam, & Encore. Fun Fact: cruise lines dump garbage here cuz it saves time/$$ on the turnaround in Seattle. Here's an estimate of haz and non-haz liquid & solid wastes NCL Encore may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria.

It’s Cruise Pollution Palooza Weekend in Victoria! 3-ship Friday: Bliss, Royal, Eurodam will account for 50% of Victoria’s GHGs-per-hour 8pm-midnight + Garbage - here's an estimate of haz and non-haz liquid & solid wastes NCL Bliss may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria.

Star Princess visits Victoria 21 times in the 2026 season, brief evening stops to comply with an 1886 American law that requires a foreign stop. That’s over 100 hours of LNG-methane slip to save the cruise line millions in fines avoided. They save $, we get methane slip.

About last night…. It would be a miracle if Carnival Miracle would stop emitting this awful pollution into our environment and neighbourhood. It’s impossible for Victoria to meet climate goals with 330+ cruise ships stopping here every year. And depressing. And stupid. 😔 #yyj #yyjpoli #stupidcrisis

Today Victoria hosts Voyager of the Seas and Celebrity Edge. This is the basic Thursday lineup for the next 17 weeks, with the occasional 3 or 4-ship day to keep us on our toes, or unable to breathe…one of those. Here’s what it looked like last time Voyager visited youtu.be/8iZHULJNJPw

Tonight Victoria hosts Carnival Miracle for its weekly pit stop and pollution. Here’s a look at its last visit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ao7A...

Victoria, thanks to tonight’s ship cancellation, we get two cruise-free days in a row. Cherish them, because the next time we get 2 cruise-free days is October 14. But until then we get almost 50 3-ship days. Enjoy 2 days of breathing clean air cuz it won’t happen again for almost 5 months.

Cruise ship scrubbers discharge contaminated sea water back into Casco Bay. What’s so bad about PAHs you ask? #Portland #Maine #CascoBay #banscrubbers #cruiseships

Sunday Victoria hosts Anthem and MSC Poesia. Fun Fact: Poesia was scheduled to visit Tracy Arm in Alaska but the destination is now considered at high risk of tsunami due to landslides from climate change melting. MSC is the most pollution-emitting cruise line in Europe. Connect the dots.

Tonight's a 3-ship night in Victoria: Star Princess, Noordam, and NCL Encore. See an estimate of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid & solid wastes NCL Encore may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria in 2026. Details www.fair-sailing.com/faqgarbage

Can you please address the 330+ cruise ships scheduled to stop in Victoria this year? The amount of emissions and garbage is overwhelming for our small city, residential community and environment. The pollution is being documented on the YouTube channel below, this was one of the ships last night.

It's 3-ship Friday, Victoria. Tonight we'll see Bliss, Eurodam, Royal Princess here for the late night pit stop to dodge US fines, dump garbage. Here's an estimate of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid & solid wastes NCL Bliss may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria in 2026.

Today Victoria hosts Norwegian Joy & Voyager, early morning to this evening. Maybe smell the tang of their pollution in the morning air? Bonus - Here's an estimate of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid & solid wastes NCL Joy may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria in 2026.

Today Victoria hosts Queen Elizabeth for the day and Carnival Miracle tonight. Queen for the day, you say, well at least passengers will spend. Yes, and this is what we'll all breathe in every moment of its stay. Enjoy subsidizing the cruise economy with your lungs. youtu.be/B5b25P55jP8

“I want to discourage cruise ship passengers from coming to Barcelona,” Collboni, who is seeking reelection as Barcelona’s mayor, stated outright. #Barcelona #cruiseships #passengertax

It's a cruise-free day, Victoria! Go out and enjoy the clean air, because there's just a handful of these days this season. So far we're at 433 hours of ship pollution and the season lasts for 5 more months. Here's what pollution looks like www.youtube.com/@FairSailing

Good Morning Victoria! See you at the parade this morning? Lovely day for it, and only one cruise ship, Carnival Spirit arrives tonight. Here's a reminder of its visit last week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuHH...

Victoria, go enjoy a spectacular Sunday by the water cuz later Anthem and MSC Poesia arrive. Fun Fact: MSC had to pull an ad campaign for greenwashing. And in 2022 its ships emitted almost as much SOx as all of Europe's passenger cars. traveltomorrow.com/luxury-cruis...

Tonight's a 3-ship night in Victoria: Star Princess, Noordam, and NCL Encore. Here's an estimate of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid & solid wastes NCL Encore may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria in 2026. Details www.fair-sailing.com/faqgarbage

Speaking of cruise ship garbage, here's an estimate of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid & solid wastes Norwegian Cruise Lines' Bliss may generate this season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria in 2026. Details www.fair-sailing.com/faqgarbage

Hey Victoria, it's a 4-cruise-ship day! Day shift belongs to Grand Princess. The late-night crowd is Bliss, Royal Princess, and Eurodam. That's our climate goals being smashed, but think of the money!

Today Victoria hosts Voyager of the Seas. This is what the pollution looked when it called last week. So far this season, cruise ships have delivered 366 hours of emissions to Victoria, on some days accounting for 50% of the city's GHGs-per-hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTDb...

It's another 3-ship day, Victoria. Asuka II, Queen Elizabeth are morning arrivals, Carnival Miracle is the night shift. Together they'll deliver another round of pollution into our air and your lungs. Look at what you've breathed in so far.... www.youtube.com/@FairSailing

What does a 7-month cruise season with 334 ships arriving look like if you live in a city that's a cruise destination? If you're in Victoria, it looks like this. We've launched a channel documenting the ships - and pollution - that call here. Get a local's POV

Today Victoria hosts Island Princess, here to deliver a full 12 hours of emissions. Choking on the bad air? Hang in there - just 300 more ships to go this season.

Tonight Victoria hosts Carnival Spirit, here for its weekly evening pit stop. Here's what it brought with it on last week's visit. youtu.be/O_Y-uO6EKiA?...

It was a four cruise ship day, Serenade of the Seas, Star Princess, Noordam and Norwegian Encore with all the emissions you could ever nightmare about… Encore was the last to arrive and it went about how you’d expect. Breathing optional. 😔 #yyj #yyjpoli #climatecrisis

Victoria, here this morning to add some pollution to your Mother's Day stroll along the waterfront are Brilliant Lady and Silver Nova. Sorry but cruise line schedules are more important than your desire for a family outing with clean air.

To add insult to injury, here is our third cruise ship of the day, Eurodam, also scheduled to stop in Victoria every Friday night for 4 hours for the next 22 weeks. Just another day in paradise. 😩 #ClimateCrisisSaysWhatNow #yyj #yyjpoli

Oh look, it’s cruise ship Norwegian Bliss. If this is bliss, I’m a monkey’s uncle. Bliss will stop here for 4 hours every Friday night until mid October. My brain just can’t comprehend how dumb we are. Like what has to happen for this to stop? Another pandemic? Those were the days… #yyj #yyjpoli

Hi Victoria, it's the first 4-ship day of the season: Serenade, Star Princess, Noordam, Encore. Starts 8am, runs to midnite. Pollution, traffic, noise will be marketed as things to be celebrated because of money. Fun fact: cruise tourists account for less than 2% of tourist spending locally.

More than 100 people have been sickened in a norovirus outbreak on a cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises, the CDC announced on Thursday.

Today Victoria hosts Discovery Princess for the day (so no pedestrianized Government Street for you!) Eurodam arrives around 8pm. And Bliss arrives tonight for their weekly drop of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Wait, we're a garbage dump? www.fair-sailing.com/faqgarbage

This is why every port must have an Infectious Disease Protocol in place for their residents, to minimize risk when a cruise ship arrives with an outbreak! Because arrive, they will. #publichealth #norovirus #cruiseships #Portland #Maine #MEpolitics via @cruiselaw.bsky.social

Today Victoria hosts Voyager of the Seas, Celebrity Summit, & Emerald Princess for non-stop emissions ejected directly into the air you breathe from 630am - midnight. For 6 of those hours they'll account for 50% of Victoria's GHGs-per-hour. Climate goals - not so much goals as bad comedy routine.

Coral Princess arrived right on time to join Carnival Miracle in killing us softly with who-knows-what-bad-for-us black emissions. A little bit of ultrafine airborne particles, a lot of GHGs and a side of I can’t breathe. Ugh. Did I mention there’s three more ships coming tomorrow? Sorry #yyj 😞

Cruise ship Carnival Miracle has arrived in Victoria. Coral Princess is not far behind. It’ll be a miracle if we can sit in our own backyard. With a gale warning, prevailing winds and these emissions, outlook not so good. I feel like a broken record. Mostly, I’m just brokenhearted. #yyj #yyjpoli

It is appearing more and more likely that hantavirus is now considered to be contagious. Even more reason for Portland to revise their Infectious Disease Protocols, before tragedy strikes our community. portlandcruisecontrolmaine.org/infectious-d... #hantavirus #cruiseships #MEpolitics

The worst-worst case is how disease could be transmitted by passengers to shoreside populations when ships call. What happens on a cruise ship does not stay on a cruise ship. Passengers disembark and walk among us. What could go wrong?

Today Victoria hosts Carnival Miracle and Coral Princess for a full morning/noon/night of airborne pollution. These ships are sold as floating resorts, but they are also an extremely effective delivery system of toxic emissions directly to the lungs of shoreside populations.

Victoria welcomes three cruise ships today. Strong prevailing winds again, sending massive amounts of pollution into our yards and into our beautiful downtown. Here is Discovery Princess doing that right now. 💔 #yyj #yyjpoli

Cruise ship Grand Princess arrived at Ogden Point within minutes of Discovery. Not to be outdone by the amount of emissions her sister ship is spreading over us, here is Grand Princess right now. 💔 #yyj #yyjpoli

Victoria, today's Pollution Palooza is courtesy of Grand Princess, Discovery Princess, Zaandam. Between 1pm - 9pm these 3 ships will account for about 50% of Victoria's GHGs-per-hour. Way to meet our climate goals!

I wish I could post what it smells like tonight… Suffice to say, it’s not possible to be outside without your nose, throat and lungs burning. Prevailing winds are sending the pollution downtown. Don’t we have laws against this? How is this legal? It’s so damn sad. I’m crushed. #yyj #yyjpoli

Dear Will, So far this year, every cruise ship has been the same. Please scroll through my video posts to see what I mean. This goes on all day, it’s not an anomaly. I can’t believe we’re okay with it. It breaks my heart for our city, our community and our environment. 💔

Victoria, did you enjoy yesterday's cruise-free day? Hope so 'cuz the next one is May 26, the one after is June 23, then another mid-July. The pollution you breathe means money for cruise lines, so deal with it. Tonight's ship is Carnival Spirit, here for a few hours to comply with US regulations.

Apparently it is a small cruise ship that can accommodate 170 passengers and has 70 crew members. 3 dead. 3 very sick. Hantavirus is a family of viruses that can cause haemorrhagic fever. How bloody awful.
