It seems that some countries are getting a bit fed up with Cruise Liners - have you seen the footage of the Liner that rams smaller boat/ship in Venice?

yes but apparently it had mechanical problems and the tugs were not up to the job of controlling it.
Not sure if I recall the figure correctly but I think the cruise ships bring in 2 million passengers to Venice, just think what the financial loss of 2 million
visitors could be.
The cruise ships I've been on have thrusters front and rear and so are quite manoeuvrable. Venice is very expensive for the gondola's so perhaps the loss of customers will bring prices down.
