Even taking into account the extraordinarily prosperous economic
climate of the late twentieth century, the number of people who now
choose a cruise ship vacation is phenomenal. The number of
passengers leaving from North American ports leaped from 330,000 in
1965 to nearly seven million at the turn of the century. This book
gives the reader a sense of the scope of the cruise ship industry,
tracing the backgrounds of various cruise lines and providing
information about the time, money, and effort that go into the
myriad details encountered between building plan and cruising
itinerary. From shipbuilders to cruise operators and the peripheral
businesses of airlines, hotels, and land-based transportation and
tour companies, cruise ships have spawned a far-reaching network
that affects millions of passengers and involves billions of
dollars. As an added bonus, the wealth of information in a detailed
appendix gives readers an instant history of the ships, including
notes on specifications, builders, registry, and passenger
capacity. According to maritime historian John Maxtone-Graham, The
Cruise Ship Phenomenon in North America is not only a good and
fascinating read, it is also an unrivaled work of reference...Brian
Cudahy has rewarded passengers, cruise line personnel, and maritime
historians alike with a splendidly evocative and unique benchmark.
