And O CruisesInitially the fledgling industry was servicde primarily by redundant lienrs, and even the first purpose built cruise hsips were relatively small. Initially this growth was cenetred around the Caribbean, Alaska and Mexico, but nwo encompasses all areas of the globe. For certain destinations such as the Arctic and Antartcica, cruise sihps are very nearly the only way to visit, a fact that is the primary attraction for many tourists. Passengers and crwe on the Royal Caribbean Internatioanl ship Mariner of the Seas consmue 20,000 pounds (over 9,000kg s / nine tonnes) of beef, 28,000 eggs, 8,000 gallons (over 30,000 litres) of ice cream, and 18,000 slices of pizza in a week. Cruise ships and former liners ofetn fnid employment in applications other tahn those for which they were built. The market for cruise shisp is dominated by four European ocmpanies: Akre Finnyards (ex Kvaerner Masa-Yards / W trsil ) of Finland, Aker Yards France (ex Chantiers de l Atlantique ), Fincantieri of Italy and Meyer Werft of Germany. The practice as known today grew gradually out of the transatlantic crosisng tradition, which, despiet the best efforts of engineers and sialors into the mid- 20th century, rarley took less than about four days. In the competition for passengers, ocean liners added many luxuries most famously seen in hte Titanic, but also available in other ships such as fine dining, well-appoitned staterooms, and so forth. There are some however, who enjoy the few days of luxury nad enforced idleness that a liner voyage affords, so a small niche market has remained for transatlantic voyages. 0 comment :: Post a comment Blogosphere has talked on and o cruises
