...OBJECTIVE & SCOPE II. RESEARCH & METHODOLOGY III. ANALYSIS IV. CHART/ DIAGRAM/ FIGURES V. CONCLUSIONS VI. RECOMMENDATION VII. BIBLIOGRAPHY I. OBJECTIVE & SCOPE A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are a part of the experience, as well as the different destinations along the way. Transportation is not the prime purpose, as cruise ships operate mostly on routes that return passengers to their originating port, so the ports of call are usually in a specified region of a continent. There are even "cruises to nowhere" or "nowhere voyages" where the ship makes 2-3 day round trips without any ports of call. Together with Norwegian Cruise Line, Star Cruises is the third largest cruise line in the world operating a combined fleet of 18 ships with approximately 35,000 lower berths, with cruises to over 200 destinations in Asia-Pacific, North and South America, Hawaii, Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Mediterranean, Bermuda and the Antarctica. Star Cruises was incorporated in September 1993, representing a bold initiative to tap Asia-Pacific's potential as an international cruise destination. Star Cruises is now the leading cruise line in Asia-Pacific. The Star Cruises ships are Superstar Virgo, Superstar...

...Vacations Doris A. Davis Vacations Cruises appeal to many travelers because they are considered all-inclusive vacations. Pay one price and receive accommodations, meals, entertainment, and transportation between island and port destinations. But once onboard, many cruisers find themselves shelling out hundreds of additional dollars for shore excursions, alcoholic beverages, and gratuities. What happened to their supposedly all-inclusive vacation? Many land-based resorts also refer to themselves as all-inclusive, yet [the properties offer a different set of included amenities. As I look at the picture my mind can imagine exactly what my experience would be. So what does it really mean to be all-inclusive? I have compared the pictures of all-inclusive resort and cruises at sea I believe all-inclusive land resort vacations are the best. All-inclusive cruises and resorts tend to include different amenities in the base price. Book a mainstream cruise, and you'll receive accommodations, all meals and snacks, certain beverages at meal times, use of the ship's facilities (such as the pool, kids club, and fitness center), onboard activities and entertainment, and transportation between ports-of-call. You will have to pay extra for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, tips for a waiter, spa treatments, shore excursions, airfare, and airport transfers. Luxury liners may include tips for the waiter and alcohol in their base price. On the other hand, book an all-inclusive resort package...

...Introduction Cruise industry is facing a downturn worldwide after Sep 30, 2010’s terrorist attack in Caribbean, experienced an immediate decline in bookings. A requested report to identify a strategy for Coast4Life (C4L hereafter) to remain profitable during the downturn is followed. Issue Identification The terrorist attack caused the decline in booking of cruise next year implies that the cruise revenue may shrink worldwide. C4L itself, although in the past three years has been growing fast with continuing improvement in liquidity and profitability, activity and long term debt (Appendix 1), but facing the industry downturn, If no any action on C4L in 2011, it may suffer a net loss if dry dock division is not able to obtain the external revenue from maintenance ships (Appendix 2). The following four alternative strategies are being considered in order for C4L to keep profitable in the downturn Analysis First option is to cut cost by selling dry dock that C4L used to do maintenance for the two cruises. Pros: • A relevant cost analysis has been conducted and it shows: by selling dry dock, C4L could save an average cost at $1.6million in 2011 and $1.3million in 2012(Appendix 3) based on how much dry dock can obtain from external revenue in three scenarios. • C4L can use its resources and investment concentrating on its core business after divesting its dock maintenance service • BC government may assist in building more docks for cruise ships is an opportunity that C4L...

...MOD 3 LOB 4: Interpret performance speeds and performance specifications for various aircrafts. Link: http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/acft_list.htm When I started searching for a website I wanted to find one that had a large database of base with a good amount of specifications on each of them. The first site I had found was risingup.com but then I saw that somebody had already used that. So I continued my search and that brought me to pilotfriend. Their database of companies has 72 planes within it and when you click on each manufacturer it brings up all the models that they have specifications on. You can explore all the different models from each manufacturer. When you click on a specific company it comes up with a brief history on them and how the company got started. When you click on a specific model of plane they also give you a brief history on the plane and how it originated. They also include a few color photos, both inside and outside the plane. The performance specifications that they give all include horsepower, top speed, cruising speed, stall speed, gross weight, empty weight, fuel capacity and range. They also include ground rolls both normal and over a 50ft obstacle for both takeoff and landing. The information also includes the rate of climb and the ceiling for the aircraft. The one thing that I didn’t really like about this website is that it is mostly privately flown aircraft and not commercial liners. Other than that...

... April 4, 2014 The case between passenger Rose Alder v. Ontario Cruises Inc. and employee Wallis Boatswain can be explained by more then three ways. Passenger Rose Alder suffered head trauma and recovering from serious injuries because an employee of the provincial government was distracted from his duty. Rose alder then decided to sue the company Ontario Cruises Inc. and the employee involved, which was Wallis Boatswain. Ontario Cruises Inc. can be held liable, the government of Ontario can be held liable and Wallis Boatswain can also be held liable for the accident. There are certain steps and things missing that make this case complicated because of certain mistakes and steps that were taken to lead a lawsuit. Ontario Cruises Inc. offers cruises around Lake Ontario at 50 dollars a ticket, which entitles the customer to 3 hours of an enjoyable cruise. At the time of ticket purchase, the customer must sign a “Waiver of Liability”. The waiver states, “The passenger accepts all physical and legal risks of loss or injury. Neither Ontario Cruises Inc. nor its employees shall be held responsible or liable for any loss or injury suffered by any passenger that is caused by the negligence of Ontario Cruises Inc. or its employees.” Since the accident happened on the pier and not actually on the cruise ship the companies “Waiver of Liability” is not relevant. Therefor the company of Ontario Cruises Inc. cannot be sued and would be protected if anything were to happen to a...

...marketing segmentation and positioning approaches of the cruise line industry. The paper focuses on the four different types of cruises and their characteristics and the positioning approaches cruise lines use to attract their customers. Marketing Segmentation Market segmentation is the process of defining and subdividing a large homogenous market into clearly identifiable segments having similar needs, wants, or demand characteristics. Its objective is to design a marketing mix that precisely matches the expectations of customers in the targeted segment (Dowling, 2006). In pursuing a market segmentation strategy, brands most focus its efforts on a discrete group of consumers to the exclusion of other groups (Elliot, 2007). The cruise industry is segmented into four types of cruises based on certain characteristics that define the on-board lifestyle and the overall vacation experience. The first two types of cruise line classifications are the first-class cruise lines (also known as the mass market lines), and the premium cruise lines. These lines are resort-style vacations offering a board base of services, destinations and amenities that are affordable to most travelers (Hernandez, 2012). The first-class lines focus on the client’s lifestyle rather than using the price or the client’s age. Examples of first-class and premium cruise lines are Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises. General Characteristics of the First Class Cruise Lines * Large ships * Passenger capacity 2000-3500...

...an elaborate explanation of the birth of a star stretched out into an array of words. The "Red Giant"a dying star in it's last stages of evolution, Is the star that will soon be replaced towards the end of the poem concluding a new star. The title Super Nova meaning a star is born contributes to the readers understanding because it is the "symbol" Object or action that means more than it's literally meaning, of the poem and the whole meaning of it really. The author Udiah I don't think is speaking directly, I think the poem is in third person and he makes it seem as if the planets are telling the story themselves or some foreign force. The situation in the poem is the amount of force in outer space that it takes for an old star to die and new one to come about. Although the poem is very vast and interesting there are some references that need explaining such as how the birth of a star happens exactly, I don't think an average reader would understand necessarily the science behind it. Some of the words I looked up helped me find better meaning in the poem, Nuclear Fission a nuclear reaction of a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of a particle splits into smaller parts. This particular word is used at the beginning of the poem, means to me that the red giant has exhausted it's supply of hydrogen and can no longer hold it all in anymore, there forth letting go. The poem develops on an Idea, an idea of a new born star. I think that Udiah must have some interest...
