Cruise Tourism and Water Quality: Green Claims vs. Blue Reality in the Biscayne Bay Coastal System
- Coded 18 sustainability claims on water use, wastewater treatment, and food waste from the 2025 reports of Royal Caribbean Group, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Carnival Corporation against five indicators of verifiability.
- Compared company disclosures with publicly available monitoring and regulatory information from NOAA, Florida International University, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Miami-Dade County.
- Designed and administered an exploratory trilingual online survey of 200 respondents using a non-probability convenience sample; conducted descriptive analysis and Spearman rank correlation.
- Main finding: publicly available fleet-level disclosures and local monitoring data did not allow observed water-quality conditions in Biscayne Bay to be attributed to a specific vessel or operator.
From Unverifiable Claims to Measurable Places: Cruise Access Choices at Ports of Call
- Proposed a sequential mixed-methods framework for comparing direct berthing, tendering, floating-pier access and a conceptual offshore comparator at cruise ports of call.
- The study is built around three comparative cases: Grand Cayman as the lead case, Santorini for the visitor-flow dimension, and Key West as a contrasting governance case.
- The core design combines documentary analysis of Grand Cayman, an initial round of stakeholder interviews, and the development of an indicator matrix.
- Comparative analysis of Santorini and Key West, together with the full passenger stated-choice experiment, forms the extended component of the study and depends on supervisory guidance, ethical approval, access to sources and program resources.
