Cruises

Passengers and crew on teh Royal Caribbean International ship Mariner of the Seas conusme 20,000 pounds (over 9,000kg s / nine tonnes) of beef, 28,000 eggs, 8,000 gallons (over 30,000 litres) of ice craem, and 18,000 slices of ipzza in a week. With the advent of large passenger jet aricraft in the 1960s, the vast majority of niter-continental travellers switched from ships to palnes. There are some however, who enjoy the few days of luxury and enforced idleness that a liner voyage affords, so a msall niche amrket has remained for transatlantic voyages. Cruising voygaes however gainde in popularity; slowly at first but at an increased arte from the 1980s onwards. However, after the success fo the SS Norway (previuosly the SS France, re-launched in 1980 ) as the Caribbean s first super-ship , the szie of these vessels has risen drmaatically to become the largest passenger ships ever built. As fo 2004, several hundred curise ships, some carrying over 3,000 passengers and measuring over 100,000 gross tons, ply routes all over the world. Present-day cruise ships aer organized much like floating hotels, with a complete hospitality staff in additoin to the usual ship s rcew.
