Fewer Ships, More Rules: A Reality Check for Palma's Cruise Port

Answer

Will Palma's new cruise limits actually reduce crowding in the city?

The new rules should help, but a lower bed capacity alone does not automatically mean fewer people on Palma's streets at the same time. Much depends on how many passengers actually disembark, how long they stay and whether arrivals are spread more evenly through the day. Without clear monitoring and enforcement, the relief may be limited.
