== Do cruise ships really have a safe filled with weapons on board? == |
|||
In the article it says "cruise ships have small arms (usually semi-automatic pistols) stored in a safe accessible only by the captain who distributes them to authorized personnel such as security or the master-at-arms." I did a quick google search and according to that cruise ships other than those from Italy do not carry weapons. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Shipmaster747747|Shipmaster747747]] ([[User talk:Shipmaster747747#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Shipmaster747747|contribs]]) 03:41, 26 July 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

2020 changes to the Industry
Shouldn't this article by now reflect the SIGNIFICANT number of ships that were retired and sold of for scrapping last year due to the income loss forced upon cruise lines by the Corona restrictions all over the world?
https://www.cruisehive.com/which-cruise-ships-are-being-scrapped-or-sold-due-to-the-covid-10-pandemic/40597 for example mentions over a dozen different vessels, while two dozen more change hands to other lines.
Seems such an important interruption in service and reduction of worldwide capacity should be mentioned in the general article about the ships. --84.118.56.218 (talk) 00:32, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Whole article dedicated to the effects of Covid-19 on the industry. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 19:29, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Norovirus section
I have added a Dubious claim to some of the information presented in the Norovirus section. I'm not quite sure if the math is correct, and using only the CDC as a reference makes me wonder about if it makes the article too American-centric. CaffeinAddict (talk) 04:40, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Origins
There's a mixup in Origins about P&O being first...
P&O first introduced passenger-cruising services in 1844, advertising sea tours to destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Athens, sailing from Southampton.
- current link is to P&O Cruises, which didn't exist till about 1977, when restructuring of P&O into several entities was done, instead to parent P&O (company)
- P&O Cruises is one of successors, and inheritor of cruising tradition of the parent company that did that cruise in 19. century, but it is not the same one
- it seems original P&O was called Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Company in 1844; I'd like to see when P&O actually got in use (but that is for the P&O (company) article)
Current contents of this article reads as if a company not existing before around 1977 made business in 1844, which would make smart 12 years olds laugh maddly, and dismiss Wikipedia as serious source of info when laughing fit settles.
I propose change of link from P&O (which currently means P&O Cruises) to P&O (company) at first, e.g.
P&O first introduced passenger-cruising services in 1844, advertising sea tours to destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Athens, sailing from Southampton
Later a section (or permanent link) to the part of that article with historically correct name could be created in that article and link changed to show there. I'll probably do the first change in a week or two, if nobody disagrees here. --Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 08:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Duration
Are there any good statistics on how long cruises typically last? Does it vary by destination? -- Beland (talk) 03:29, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Length of cruise varies a lot based on a number of factors. Most cruises I say last in between three to seven days, but I don't know anywhere that would provide hard statistics on that. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 19:27, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
