 A
cruise ship is a floating hotel where passengers, apart from visiting
a number of well-chosen international ports, can enjoy a party atmosphere
throughout the voyage. Games, dancing, costume parties, and whatever
other activities are devised within a rather limited space. Big-name
entertainers are often hired for the entire trip. Most
cruise ships employ a social director whose job includes involving
all of the passengers in the activities that are offered.
While
the majority of tourists nowadays prefer to travel in groups with
their entertainment and sightseeing included in the package,
some tourists prefer personalized tours which provide the comfort
of a guide to show
them around scenic sights and make all the necessary
arrangements for them. These more independent tourists may request
tour services through their hotel or a local travel agency. Of course,
a personalized tour is more costly than a package, or group tour,
and caters
to the needs of those who can afford them. |
