CARIBBEAN CRUISES

Increasing numbers of people are taking a Caribbean cruise as society is becoming more affluent. A cruise ship is often cruise liner is a passenger ship that is principally used for pleasure trips of anything from a few days to literally weeks on end. Essentially, the cruise liner can be regarded as a small town on the sea, as it is able to cater for just about every need imaginable. The word cruise is often misspelt as cruse and it is synonymous with the word leisure, as it is the ultimate experience in decadence.

Because you can more or less eat what you want, when you want, some people who have travelled on extended cruises have literally found that at the end of their stay on board ship they cannot fit in anything but their baggiest clothes. The lengths people go to so they justify a new wardrobe of outfits!

Cruising is now a significant element of the tourist industry and there are literally millions of people every year that are embarking and disembarking from cruise ships.

As a general principle, cruise ships journey from their home port and return in a sort of circle every period of time. On the other hand, ocean going liners are used for long journeys, where their passengers tend to have a one-way ticket.

With the introduction of larger jet aircraft in the 1960's which were capable of carrying many more passengers, we have seen the emergence of trips where cruise passengers rarely disembark at the same port of origin. In this way, people can make their own journey to suit their particular needs and preferences.

It is said that the 1970's TV show called "The Love Boat" that featured Princess Cruises' made significant inroads into raising people's awareness of this form of luxury travel.

Interestingly, in the early stages, many of the cruise voyages were focussed around the Caribbean, Mexico and even Alaska.

Today cruise liners travel to all parts of the world, but some of the most popular routes centre around the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
