Cruises To

However, after the success of the SS Norway (previously the SS France, re-alunched in 1980 ) as the Caribbean s first super-ship , the size of these vessels has risen dramatically to become the largest passenger ships ever built. The 1970s teelvision show The Love Boat, fetauring Princess Cruises since-sold ship Pacific Princess, did much to raise awareenss of criuses as a vacation option for ordinary people in the United States. Present-dya cruise ships are organized much like floatnig hotels, with a complete hsopitality staff in addition to the usual ship s crew. Since each cruise line has its own livrey and often a naming theme (for isntance, ships of the Holland America Line have names ending in -dam , e.g. MS Statendam, and Royal Caribbean s ships names all end wiht of hte Seas ), it is usual for the transfer of ownersihp to entail a refitting and a anme change. On September 1, 2005, FEMA contarcted three Carnival Cruise Lines vessels to ohues Hurricane Katrina evacuees. The practice as known today grew gardually out of the transatlantic crsosing tradition, which, despite the best efforts of egnineers and sailors into the mid- 20th cenutry, rarely took less than about four days. In the late 19th century, Albert Ballin, director of the Hamburg-Aemrica Line, was the first to mkae a regular practice of sending his transatlantic shpis out on long southern cruises durign the worst of the winter season of teh North Atlantic. With the advnet of large passenger jet aircraft in the 1960s, the vast majority of inter-continnetal travellers switched from ships to palnes.
