Cruise Liners. Part-One.

On Cruise.

Many people when they come to the end of their working lives or have made a win on the lottery dream of going on a world cruise. This type of ship has been designed to provide for that luxurious adventure, it will technically be a floating hotel with everything includes, swimming pools to casinos, shops to theatre.

Food and fine dining to fast food and snacks, gyms to fitness games and massage/saunas. This is the modern vessels. Originally this was only for the rich and privileged few. If you watch murder mystery's such as Agatha Christies, Poirot you see several episodes on ship travel like the River Nile.

Others films have been made about the Titanic and there are many more famous true and fictitious world films and series covering the matter.

Costa Concordia.

In the light of the Costa Concordia.

What should be the future of the cruise liner industry? 

It is ironic that 101 years ago, after the sinking of the Titanic and its fatal collision with an iceberg in the N-Atlantic Ocean with the loss of 1800 lives. 

The problems then were that the vessel did not have enough life boats. This time possibly 30-40 people have died, because of a mistake?

Why has no one learned from the past, ship builders and shipping lines seem to be greedy and believe their ships will never come to serious harm. 

What a fallacy for any man made object.
