U.S. Government v. Carnival Cruise
27 Oct U.S. Government v. Carnival Cruise
Cruise ships operate with impunity. They dump toxic sludge and waste water into the ocean and simply pay the fine when caught—and then they dump again. And again.

Seattle can take a pre-emptive stand on cruise companies’ bad behavior by adopting enforceable policies that require higher standards of environmental stewardship.
