The Difference Between a Luxury Cruise Line and a Regular Cruise Line
The word “luxury” is somewhat hard to define. What is luxurious to some may not be luxurious to others, and not all industries attach the label “luxury” to their services and products in the same way. This should make outlining the difference between a luxury cruise line and a regular cruise line, our current focus, somewhat difficult. If it is hard to get a handle on what a luxury cruise line is, it’ll be difficult to contrast a luxury cruise line with a cruise line that does not advertise itself as such. So, how are we to go about outlining the differences between luxury cruise lines and regular cruise lines? Read more […] -
All-Inclusive Cruises: Which Cruise Lines Offer Them?
Essentially all cruise lines offer all-inclusive cruises, at least if you define “all-inclusive” in the most minimal way possible, where this term only means that room and (basic) board is covered by your cruise fair. If you define all-inclusive cruises extremely robustly, such that every cost associated with the cruise is included in the fare price, then there are practically no all-inclusive cruises. This much we covered in our overview of all-inclusive cruises. In the present article we list the cruise lines that offer something like an all-inclusive cruise. The cruise line needn’t cover every expense to warrant inclusion in our list, but they can’t merely give you a room on board the ship and a free meal and count themselves as all-inclusive cruises. With this guiding principle in mind, which cruise lines offer all-inclusive cruises? Read more […] -
Princess Cruise Lines: An Overview
We have written this article and given it the title “Princess Cruise Lines” primarily to clear up a confusion. There is actually no Princess Cruise Lines – plenty of people search for it, but technically no company goes by that name – but there is a Princess Cruises, the “Love Boat” cruise line because one of its ships was used for the television show. Princess Cruises is owned by Carnival Corporation & PLC, an enormous enterprise that operates several distinct cruise lines. Perhaps people simply think Princess Cruises is called Princess Cruise Lines, or it might be that people are mixing up a single cruise line (Princess Cruises) with the company that owns it, mistakenly thinking that the cruise line conglomerate Carnival Corporation is called Princess. Whatever the confusion, we set everything straight below. Read more […] -
The Definition of a Luxury Cruise
The title of this article might seem like the slogan of a luxury cruise line, perhaps appearing in a context such as this: Eternity Cruises, the definition of a luxury cruise. (Eternity Cruises is not actually a company – it just sounds like the type of name a luxury cruise line might have.) However, we are after the literal definition of “luxury cruise.” What exactly qualifies a cruise as “luxurious?” Is there any reason for a non-luxury cruise line to pretend as if it is a luxury cruise line? What, in short, is a luxury cruise? Read more […] -
Disney Cruise Dream
“Disney Cruise Dream” could refer to one of two things, and it depends on the phrase’s grammatical context. If one is speaking of a Disney cruise dream (note the lowercase letters), he or she is referring to a dream that involves a Disney cruise. We imagine that lots of people dream of Disney cruises, especially small children gearing up for their first cruise adventure. More likely, though, people are curious about the Disney Dream, one of the big new cruise ships of the Disney Cruise Line. For Read more […] -
Fred. Olson Cruise Lines
When you see “Fred. Olson Cruise Lines” written, you might suspect someone made a typo. In fact, you might suspect they made two typos – there is the seemingly inexplicable period after “Fred,” and also the fact that the cruise line (and it is only one cruise line) refers to itself in the plural. Fred. Olson Cruise Lines is the company’s name, though, however strange it strikes one at first. But of course the company’s name is of little interest. We are here to discuss the cruise line itself, which is largely unknown outside the U.K. Below we provide an overview of Fred. Olson Cruise Lines for any of our readers who are debating taking a Fred. Olson cruise or who simply want to learn more about this strangely named company. Read more […]
