I have heard that the Croatian marinas have got together and made an official complaint to the relevant ministry but I'm not holding my breath...
Logically, the ministry should also be charging caravan and camera owners for the beds their vehicles have rather than just the number of people, but I doubt that is the case.
As for the cruise ship argument, if these are a problem (and they are), why not simply refuse them a berth? Venice is moving (very slowly) in that direction, and I would expect (hope) that there be a disembarkation fee (€20?) that goes straight to the city coffers for each passenger. Airports charge it: why not cruise terminals?
