If you compare today's cruise ships with the classical ocean liners with beautiful shaped hulls and impressive funnels, the differences are tremendous.
If you think about your comfort and cruise experience as passenger on today's cruise ships andcompare that of the passengers on a Olympic Class vessel 100 years ago. Differences are tremendous as well.
Sometimes I whish that I could step into a time machine and take a look on board one of those old pieces of art.
What about the latest cruisers, are we still talking about masterpieces?
Absolutely, but if nobody tells you about it you'll never know. Like a lot of things in life.
Only by imagining how many people are cruising on yearly basis. Cruising is one of the safest ways of transportation nowadays.
The food on board and the whole cruise experience is important and something you paid for, we all understand that.
But you paid also for a safe cruise.
I can assure you there is a whole world behind the scenes only focussing and improving your safety on board which is not always noticeable.
Cruise companies spent millions and millions of dollars not only in entertainment, food or comfort but also in your safety.
Safety systems like:
The fire detection systems
Smoke extraction and fire screen doors
Training of the crew
Life boats
Not to mention the manoeuvrability of the ship, or the stability during sailing.
By just imagining what goes on behind the scene I hope to give you something extra on your cruise experience.
