AIDA is a German cruise company. It offers the cheapest cruises. By luxury I mean something other than being crammed onto a ship with 1,900 passengers. Furthermore, the staff is underpaid and exploited. The ship is also not environmentally friendly.

All cruiseships are not environmental friendly. They also are a big nuisance here in European cities like Venice, Ravenna, Genoa. They should ban them as they are a environmental disaster. And also the tourists will take their meals, drinks, accomodation on the ship, because they already paid for it.
