Opinion Piece #1


"Will the World's Largest Cruise Ship Sink or Swim?" by By Deirdre van Dyk
The Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s new vessel, Oasis of the Seas, the largest passenger ship ever made costing $1.4 billion had been delayyed two days before its arival out to sea. Due to this reason was of a storm Atlantic in Finland. This is a ship that is making fro teh the first time low ticketing prices due to the economy. But say later on are going to raise them higher. Thee problem isnt what the ship has but who isnt on it. "Ships are mostly knowns as family cruises or vacations for the elderly but people but they want to extand tehir audoence not to them only but others as well."says says Peter Yesawich, CEO of Y Partnership. Saying that young people dont want travel seven days to South America and justbe on a out and pay 1,000 and something for there stay there. Also thatn they dont have tiem to go on a trip due to the fact to make that kind of money you have to be working alot. Thats why the boat has all these high expectations to reach probably 5billion dollors on selling tickets to pay off building the boat and paying the workers that work there. On the boat they have scuba diving., mountain climbing, pools,shows, craft rooms for the kids to enjoy, and etc. They tried to make this boat as if it were land out in the seas that away people can enjoy themselves not just sitting there eating and being by the pool. That why they want you to come and have an experience on there boat and enjoy yourself. The only thing that they are really worried about is that fact people arent going to show up because of the pricing to enter because of the economy. Having a room for $218 a day and thats a regular room but if you want to have a suit it would ome up to $1,087 a day. This is there only concern the fact that people wont have the moneyto enter the cruise.
Application Question: Do you think with what the economy s going through people would go and come travel on this ship?
Clarification Question: Wwas there any need on having all those ativities in a ship making it big?
