trust me, as someone who has spent a week or two on mackinac island every summer for the past 4 decades, 300 extra people on the island during the summer tourism season wouldn't even be noticed.

now, 4,500 extra people being unloaded onto the island by some massive "floating buffet", yeah, that would start to have some serious impacts, but that's not remotely on the table for great lakes cruising.
