Cruise ships

love to cruise. It is my favorite type of vacation. Don’t get me wrong, I love land based vacations also but if I had a choice, I would choose a cruise any day of the week. What I love most about a cruise is that it gives you the opportunity to visit three or four different ports; you get to decided what you want to do there. If you like the destination the first time you visit you can choose to go back again but at least you have the chance to see it for the first time. Cruises…

company and fleets. Carnival and its competitors all have about the same capabilities as there is not much differentiation within the cruise industry because of the similarities consumers may switch brands easily from one cruise line to another, due to price or port destination. Potential entry of new competitors minimal and not a major factor for the Carnival cruise line. Carnival have a very strong brand name and consumers are typically going to book with a company they are familiar with…

it was then we saw the cruise ship we were about to board after months of waiting. The Carnival Triumph looked massive as it was visible from miles away. The thirteen deck ship is a eight hundred nighty-three foot long. We could not wait to explore all of its wonders. Arriving to the port there so was much commotion. People were scrambling to make sure they do not leave any luggage behind. Mothers were trying to keep their children from running away in curiosity of the ship, and others…
