A cruise line has apologized to its passengers after one of their ships arrived in the middle of a whale hunt where dozens of the animals were being slaughtered.

    The cruise line is concerned about sustainability. That’s rich.

      The whole idea of the article is pr marketing by the cruise ship, lol.

        Their comments are PR mitigation. Pulling up to the whale butchering was definitely not a PR stunt.

      The cruise line is concerned about upsetting their passengers, that is all.

      Sustainability of the things that entertain their passengers so the cruise line can continue to make more money.

      Yes, it is rich. Rich people pretending to be responsible.

        More like pretending they aren’t responsible.

        Cruises aren’t that expensive. But your point stands.

          Depends on the cruise. There are some really expensive cruise lines out there.

            Sure, I’m just saying that just because it’s a cruise line doesn’t mean the passengers are rich. It can cost <$1k or so for a weeklong cruise, which is cheaper than a lot of vacations.
