RECENT global incidences of a partially sunk
cruise vessel in the Costa Concordia, engine
fires on Carnival Triumph, Grandeur of the
Seas amid others, and illnesses onboard others
have done nothing to discourage passengers
from taking cruises as a holiday option,
according to a recent survey commissioned by
travel technology firm Amadeus.
The poll found cruise pricing was the number
one consideration for potential passengers,
with one third of those surveyed saying they
could be persuaded to take a cruise instead of
a normal land-based holiday.
