Just ran past this article and it’s incredible if you think about it. Granted, not every single soul on those ships will disembark for a day on the island. But consider it… in a single day, over 30,000 people added to the island for a day.

I’ve yet to take a cruise so I can’t envision what the port must look like on that day and won’t day go to Pburg on cruise day. (BTW, thanks to this site for the cruise schedule)
