The world's biggest cruise ship has set sail but is it good for the planet?
Should cruise ships be banned?

In January, the world’s largest cruise ship made its first ever journey, between Miami, in the US, and the Caribbean. The Icon of the Seas can hold almost 10,000 people – 7,600 guests and 2,350 crew members – and features more than 20 different places to eat, seven swimming pools, a mini-golf course, a rock-climbing wall and an ice skating rink. However, despite cruise ships being impressive in size, some people are concerned about the harm they are doing to the environment.

Smooth sailing?
