"The global cruise industry generates $117 billion in total economic contributions, supporting 891,009 full-time jobs with total wages of $38.47 billion, according to new data. This comes as demand for cruising across the globe has increased 77 percent, from 12 million to 21.3 million passengers in the last decade, the research by the Cruise Lines International Association shows. The report found that 55% of global passengers are sourced from North America (11.82 million), including 10.92 million from the US."
No wonder the cruise lines are scrambling to launch bigger and better ships. -- Gerry
