You could argue that in a place where there’s not enough housing, in part due to AirBNB this is not the worst?

Cruise ship passengers also don’t strike me as the types that get wasted on alcohol and drugs and cause problems that way, or noise at night (since they’ll be on the boat).

Isn’t that just what Amsterdam needs?
