Environmental Issues
Why care? Here's what a crew member wrote in
February 2006: Both RC ships I worked
on (Voyager and Radiance) dragged oil through the waters while their
azipods were messed up, and I don't believe they ever reported it.
Radiance won "Environmental Ship of the year" from RCCL for the same
year I personally witnessed a freaking oil slick while
tendered in Juneau in June 2003.
