Mallorca being removed from itineraries.

I know that this is an old article, but the implications are now being felt.  P&O for one, is changing 2023 itineraries as the new ruling comes into force. Worth double checking that your cruise will still be visiting Palma prior to booking excursions.

 Yes, there will be fewer port visits here this year, but things might change as a new council may be elected in the near future.

Just one more example of the world reacting to mega ships.  We (and others) have written a lot about this in other blogs regarding ports like Venice, Key West, Bar Harbor Santorini, Bora Bora, etc.  More and more ports are realizing that too many (or any) large cruise ships are not really good for business.

It's their community and they can do whatever they want. But they may find a lot less money floating around.
