Even if efficiency per passenger is better with larger ships, they should definitely still ban the largest ships. The largest ships simply shouldn’t exist.
Banning big ships shouldn’t be the only thing Nice does, but it’s a very good step 1. Step 2 should be limiting the total number of ships and/or passengers that can visit the city.
