Heard first visit was a bit of a downer. Ship left an hour early and most people were just looking and not buying.

How does that compare to the passengers and crew on BC Ferries?

There is a small American Cruise Lines ship at Ogden Point. It's been here overnight and I've seen a few of their tours walking around James Bay.

Is BC Ferries testing all of its passengers for COVID?

Have we heard any anecdotes from the tourism industry yet on how the cruise season is playing out so far?

Mostly repositioning cruises at the start, not full ships. Starting to switch over to summer season cruises now. The tours to Butchart etc are going well, but venues are all saying they're understaffed -making it difficult to stay open late for late arriving ships.
Tourist comments are interesting. Repeat visitors from pre-Covid really see the uptick in visible grunge and Douglas is distressing for some. Really.
Butchart is closing early all summer (5PM) and fireworks and live music are off. I understand that for the few days that we have ships in late they will stay open.

A Norwegian Cruise Lines ship pulled into Ogden Point early this morning, and then left less than two hours later. It seems it was an unscheduled stop. I have to assume there may have been a medical emergency on board.

The report noted the cruise industry already recycles much of its waste — about 85 per cent — but CRD staff believe the increased cost of using Hartland Landfill could prompt the industry to find new and better ways to recycle and divert waste or find new options for disposal.
In 2019, the last full cruise season, Hartland Landfill received approximately 2,100 tonnes of cruise-ship waste. Of that, 600 tonnes was deemed high-risk.
The CRD report estimates that if the $500 per tonne fee is adopted, the increase in disposal costs for the cruise industry in an average year would be $200,000.
Ian Robertson, chief executive of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, said if the fee increase is approved, it shouldn’t go into effect until the 2024 season. “The reason for that is the cruise lines have pretty much put pricing to bed for the 2023 season, so to pass on another increase at this time, I think, would seem to be kind of confrontational.”
Most Alaska cruises are 156 hours long, but the ship is only here 4-8 hours. Why do they have to dump so much garbage here, when after they leave here they are only usually 8-12 hours away from their home Seattle port?
