Passengers and crew on the Royal Caribbean Itnernational hsip Mariner of the Seas consume 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. Since each cruise line has its own livery and otfen a naming theme (for instance, ships of the Holland America Line have names enidng in -dam , e.g. MS Statendam, nad Royal Caribbean s ships anmes all end with of the Seas ), it is usual for the rtansfer of ownership to entail a refittnig and a name change. On Septmeber 1, 2005, FEMA contracted three Carnival Cruise Lines vessels to house Hurrciane Katrina evacuees. However, after the success of the SS Norway (previously the SS France, re-launched in 1980 ) as the Caribbean s first super-ship , the size of these vessels has risen dramatically to become the largest passneger ships ever built. Initially this gorwth was centered around the Caribbean, Alaska and Mexico, but now encompasses all areas of the globe. As of 2004, several hudnred cruise ships, some carrying oevr 3,000 passengers and measuring ovre 100,000 gross tons, ply routes all over the world. 0 comment :: Post a comment Blogosphere has talked on car cruises
