Cunard state that their liner, the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, travels 49.5 feet per imperial gallon of diesel oil (3.32 m/L or 41.2 ft/US gal), and that it has a passenger capacity of 1777. Thus carrying 1777 passengers we can calculate an efficiency of 16.7 passenger-miles per imperial gallon (16.9 L/100 p·km or 13.9 p·mpg–US).

OK, I know that you can't compare freight and passenger efficiency, but as for people moving: 16.9 L/100p·km is not much better than single occupancy commuting in a Hummer....
Re:
dumping
A whale turd is a part of nature, and animals never congregate in groups too large for nature to handle. It's a different story when people put hundreds or thousands of chicken, swine or cattle under one roof, or when a huge cruise ship pulls into an alaskan bay and each and every one of the 4000 passengers flush a few times a day.
