ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An environmental group has released its cruise ship report card on just how well cruise ship companies are doing when it comes to pollution.
Friends of Earth gave its highest mark — a “B”— to Holland America Line.
Cruise lines were graded in three categories: sewage treatment, air pollution reduction and water quality compliance.
Norwegian and Princess also scored fairly well.
The lowest grades —”Fs” — went to Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean International. Celebrity, Carnival and Silversea also scored poorly.
