Today Victoria hosts Norwegian Joy. By hosts, we mean it arrives with a massive s***ton of garbage, and we say, yep, just leave that here on our island to take care of for you. NCL filed a plan to offload wastes in Victoria. Here’s what the filing said...

Tonight Victoria hosts Star Princess and Encore. Encore filed estimates of hazardous + non-hazardous waste it would generate in the 2026 Alaska cruise season. Filed intention to offload in Victoria. Cruise lines dump garbage here to save time/$$ on the turnaround in Seattle.

Tonight Victoria hosts GarbagePalooza: Eurodam, Royal, Bliss. Bliss is a late-night touch-and-go to drop garbage…no passengers disembark, only the garbage visits Victoria. How much? This is what NCL expects to generate and has filed to offload here.

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.

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

Voters/taxpayers of Victoria - looking forward to enjoying car-free Government Street this summer? Tough. City gave it to cruise shuttles & tourists even tho they account for less than 2% of tourist spending. Too bad, locals & big-spending stayover tourists. @jeremycaradonnayyj.bsky.social

Just 58 days until Victoria resumes its place as Canada's busiest cruise port-of-call, thanks to billion dollar foreign corporations that pollute for profit.

Victoria's cruise season grinds to a close tonight with the arrival of NCL Encore, here for its 26th fine-dodging pit stop & garbage run. Typically arriving after 7pm and staying for less than 5 hours, it contributed little to Victoria's economy but saved NCL about US$103 Million in fines avoided.

Nothing says Thanksgiving in Victoria like a couple of cruise ships here to enjoy what's shaping up to be a wet weekend. Today we host Noordam, and tonight it's the 26th straight Saturday night visit from Encore. Between them they average a D grade for their environmental practices.

Tonight Victoria hosts Bliss and Spirit. Both are pitstops to comply with an American law. So, not much in it for us. Bliss is on the SEA-Alaska run. Spirit is on a SEA-Hawaii cruise. Foreign stop required. Because nothing says Hawaiian cruise like a 6 hour stop in Canada in October.

Today Victoria hosts Ruby Princess, the last mid-week ship of the season. Just a couple more weekends and we're done. Fun Fact: Princess Cruises is a convicted felon and 2-time probation violator for intentional ocean pollution.

In tonight's Victoria Cruise Ship Calls After Dark, we host Bliss and Eurodam for their weekly required regulatory calls. They save $millions, passengers see, well, not much. Locals get the pollution and noise. But as long as the cruise industry is happy, Victoria doesn't care. #CruiseImpacts

Today Victoria hosts Anthem of the Seas for 11 hours of air & ocean pollution. This cruise line has been graded D- for environmental practices.

Hey, Victoria, it's a cruise-ship-free day today. Weather is iffy but the air is clear, so enjoy. Thurs-Sun is the last weekend with daily ships, then a ship now and then until it's over on Oct 18. Final ship? Norwegian from Alaska, of course. CEO credited climate change for extending cruise season.

Friday Night Cruise Pollution Pollution in Victoria is here again! Tonight between about 8pm - midnight, Royal, Eurodam, Bliss will account for 47% of Victoria's GHGs-per-hour. Here's what 3 ships looks like. If you're near the waterfront tonight, wave Victoria's Climate Leadership Plan goodbye.

It's been a lovely day around Victoria's waterfront, because Carnival Spirit doesn't arrive until this evening, and that's only to dodge US$2.1 million in fines with a regulatory and garbage-dump call. We're not a destination to them, just a pit stop. Yet we get the pollution anyway.

Eurodam, you horns-blasting-at-midnite idiot. The deal is: in return for you polluting Victoria's air, poisoning our ocean, dumping your garbage, only here for a regulatory stop to dodge fines but too late to be good for local business, you leave without waking us all up. You're a winner, loser.

Hey, Victoria, no cruise-free Tuesday for you! Instead, we get 16 hours of air/ocean pollution, traffic, and noise courtesy of Norwegian Joy. However, NCL has one of the highest environmental practice grades of cruise lines visiting Victoria this season: D+

It's already Friday Cruise Pollution Palooza again! Tonight Victoria hosts Eurodam, Bliss, Royal. Between about 8p-midnight these 3 ships will account for 47% of Victoria's GHGs-per-hour. All ships have visited Juneau, like Bliss, shown there. We're part of a chain of environmental destruction.

Today Victoria hosts Queen Elizabeth, tonight it’s Luminosa. Both are graded F for environmental practices. So Liz, from one Queen to another - do better!

It's a 3-cruise-ship day in Victoria, for a change. JK, it happens all the time. Today we get Anthem, Riviera, Edge. The Hat Trick of Horror, a Trio of Fines Avoidance. Yep, they're here as required by an 1886 American law to dodge $$millions in fines. Victoria, Pit Stop of the Pacific.

Tonight Carnival Luminosa makes another of its 26 weekly regulatory and garbage-dumping pitstops in Victoria. Fun fact: Carnival is graded F for environmental practices.

Today Victoria is absolutely heaving with tourists from Chinatown, to Govt. Street, to Ledge, to Fisherman's Wharf. Like, hard to walk down sidewalk busy. Picnics, shopping, dining. NO CRUISE SHIPS HERE. Tonight we get Discovery, Encore, Westerdam. After all the fun is over, stores & tours closed.

Today Victoria hosts Queen Elizabeth for the day, tonight Carnival Luminosa makes its weekly regulatory and garbage-dumping pitstop. Together they'll bring about 14 hours of cruise ship air & ocean pollution to town. Fun fact: Cunard and Carnival are both graded F for environmental practices.

Happy Summer, Victoria. There are 94 days until Fall. Between now and then, we'll get 9 cruise-free days. That's it. We'll let you know when those are so you can breathe cleaner air and watch marine life swim in less-polluted water.

Tonight Victoria hosts Eurodam, Bliss, and Royal Princess for Friday Night Pollution Palooza! Between about 8pm - midnight these 3 ships will account for 47% of Victoria's GHGs-per-hour. But wait, there's more! They'll also overwhelm local streets and residents with buses, taxis, noise, emissions.

Last night Victoria expected Carnival Luminosa but it was cancelled. No bad weather so likely a PVSA violation. But since ships file clearance paperwork while still at sea, even if they don't dock they are considered to have "gone foreign" so no fines, per US CBP. PVSA is regulatory theatre.

Today Victoria hosts Royal Princess and Ruby Princess for a combined 17 hours. Princess Cruises is a convicted felony ocean polluter and 2-time probation violator. Tonight we get Carnival Spirit, graded 'F' for environmental practices. It's a hat trick of cruise pollution, right in our backyards.

Victoria BC 2025: 320 cruise ships will deliver 2000+ hours of air & ocean pollution, traffic, noise, & garbage right to our doorsteps. Yuck, but think of the money! Nope. Cruise passenger spending accounts for less than 2% of local tourist spending: it's low-value tourism. Anyway, Happy #EarthDay
