Huh. I am at all not sure that this is a positive move. Cruise ships have a massive carbon footprint. I know that tourists come as a result of these cruises but some cities are finding that they are often not as economically beneficial to cities as other sorts of visitors.
I also think that this has not been a good move for local people: the cafe that used to be there was a local and family-friendly place, which was also very affordable. We used to like going there, one of our kids had a great birthday party there (also more affordable than other options) and there used to be cheap/ free and interesting workshops for children. Visitors who are spending little time in the city are being privileged over locals. I think this is disappointing.
