Bahamas - Hotel, Resort, Villa and Cruises.
Following the demise of the great ocean liners, cruise ships emerged as the lavish and opulent ships of the sea. Although cruise vacations date from the 19th century, they did not reach the popularity they enjoy today until the 1960s. Cruise ships of the 1960s and 1970s typically measured 180 m (600 ft) or less and carried 600 to 700 passengers. The elegant vessels, featuring swimming pools, theaters, restaurants, and luxurious passenger accommodations, expanded the cruise vacation industry significantly. As demand for new cruise ships grew, companies built larger, more elaborate ships. The Royal Princess, built in 1984 and operated by cruise company Princess Cruises, is twice the size of its 1970s predecessors and carries 1,250 passengers. The Jubilee and Celebration, both operated by Carnival Cruise Lines, measure nearly 230 m (750 ft) and carry 1,850 passengers.
