A couple of years ago I went on a cruise ship. It was the biggest boat I have ever been on before. It was a Disney cruise ship, too. The boat was so high up from the dock and so long from to end. If you walked around the whole boat twice it was a mile long, that’s insane! The boat felt like a floating paradise. I wish I could have lived on the cruise ship my whole life and never leave. That was the best boat I have I have ever been on withal of the foods, the places we docked, and the dinners on the boat. When we first arrived on the huge boat it had gold walls and Disney princess’s workers everywhere. Afterwards, there were butler’s people who walked around with drinks and little finger foods, and we could have taken as much as we wanted. Now there were three pools and two hot tubes on the main deck. The pools could be covered up by a wood floor, and people were able to walk on top of the pool. There were places to just sit and get some sun or to play little games of bowling. We decided to go to our room and see them. We had a super soft bed and two mini beds for my uncle, nieces, nephews, and aunt. Our maid made a swan out of the towels for us and set it in the bathroom, which was a nice surprise. The best part of our room was the balconies where you could just sit outside and listen to the nice calm ocean and get some sun in …show more content…
We all go in our nicest clothes and went. For dinner that night I had a huge steak with a baked potato. The waiters were dressed in really old time clothes and carried a pocket watch. That was one of the best dinners I ever had. Three days in we went to the dinner and it was a garden theme with plants everywhere and it was all green. This was my mom’s favorite dinner, we both got sushi that night. The last dinner we went to was on the last night and it was the huge room we saw earlier. Everyone was dressed super nice and even the waiters were in red
Greece-based Celestyal Cruises prides itself on a unique ability to showcase “authenticity” in its home country, and in striving to do that exposes travelers not only to popular, bustling ports of call, but also to charming hilltop villages; sleepy, out of the way tavernas; and locally-run businesses that date back generations. With slightly smaller, cozier ships, Celestyal is able to access ports that larger cruise ships cannot – just one of the features that sets this cruise company apart, allowing it to bring travelers to many unexpected and off the beaten path destinations in the Greek islands.
Currently, foreign cruise liners operate almost completely outside of the scope of the U.S. tax system, and this arguably has a discriminatory impact on U.S. cruise lines. Generally, if a foreign corporation is deemed to have a permanent establishment in the United States, they are subject to a tax on the portion of their income that is attributable to the U.S. For example, if a foreign clothing company, had just one small store in Miami where there could be “continuous and systematic” presence, it would be viewed to have a permanent establishment and taxed 30%. Since foreign cruise corporations fall into the category of “shipping,” the headquarters they have in the U.S. aren’t considered a permanent establishment. Therefore, the U.S. isn’t
Imagine: It’s Saturday morning in Charleston, South Carolina. On this brisk morning, a resident is reading a book with a cup of coffee on the porch of his historic home. Without warning, a boisterous call from the PA System of a cruise ship pierces the tranquility of the morning. This call signals the departure of the cruise ship, which is then followed by an unnecessary horn, wailing four times. According to a citizen of Charleston, this is a common scenario as it repeats 104 times a year. The cruise ship in Charleston disrupts the residents, pollutes the atmosphere which harms the historic infrastructure, plunders city laws, harms marine life through waste dumping, blocks beautiful views through violating building height codes,
In the two sections from Bradley's Imperial Cruise, the authors’ main point in these chapters in to showcase how Theodore Roosevelt’s naval expansion and imperialist actions led to further problems and even war, while also showing the harmfulness of imperialism in the world.
In the first case the judge would like to show the 3 men sympathy but he believes he isn’t above the law, he sentences the death penalty. The philosophical label of this judge is legal positivism. One thing that the judge says to back this up is “As much as I would personally wish that these men could return to their families and put this tragic event behind them, I cannot permit them to do so. I am not free to make the law”. This quote showed that this judge was a legal positivist because he says that he wants to show them sympathy and let them return to their families, but he is not free to make the law and he is not above the law. Another quote to back this up is “I have sworn an oath to apply the law that authorized legislators have enacted”. Similar to the last quote, the judge is showing that whether he wants to be sympathetic or not he cannot because he has sworn an oath to the law that he cannot break. One weakness of this theoretical approach is that it is very ruthless. These men did not have a choice, killing Ozzie was the only way for the men to

As I opened my eyes, I saw a giant cruise ship in front of my eyes.It took two whole days but we finally reached Florida where we went Rock Gliding.It’s where you have to get past a giant,rocky maze.The winner gets to cans of ice cream.Though my sister won,we all shared the ice cream.Next stop,the Bahamas!!!In the bahamas we went parasailing up 700 ft above water level,it was so much fun.The boat driver even let us touch the smooth,light blue water with our feet.Finally, we ended with a relaxing dolphin swim on the soft,delicate beach of Jamaica.
A different example in this time period is The Seafarer. While The Seafarer is about a man who goes off to sea, it also explains how someone can work for something but at the end it returns to the beginning just like many empires. The beginning of the poem explains that this sailor goes through trials that many don't have to face by stating, "Who could believe, knowing but / The passion of cities, swelled proud with wine / And no taste of misfortune, how often, how wearily, / I put myself back on the path of the sea." (Seafarer l. 27-30).
Out of all the trips I have taken, Cancun was definitely the best. It was 2013 and I was in fifth grade. I had known about the trip for weeks and I was so amped up for the plane ride, for the hotel, and especially the ocean. I was in science and the teacher was getting mad because I was distracting all the kids by jittering all over the place. Finally I heard my name called over the intercom and I leaped for joy and ran out of the classroom. From school we drove to the Iowa Airport, got our tickets and loaded onto the plane. Our first plane took us to Chicago, Illinois where we boarded a plane , at the O’Hare International Airport, departing for Cancun,Mexico. The second plane was very lengthy, I tried to sleep but I didn’t actually fall asleep
The Two forces currently affecting the cruise line industry are the economic and political forces. These two forces represent threats to the company and the industry because in 2009 the economy of the use was in a downturn and sales went down for that year. The global recession significantly impacted the financial performance of travel companies worldwide. Carnival suffered significant loss. Reduced travel demand as a consequence of the recessionary economy by 13%. As the consumer’s discretionary spending capacity declines, the demand for Carnival’s cruise services would also decline affecting the revenue growth as well.
Underground crime has been present in this world since the inception. It is a way of life some individuals choose to live, either to make a quick dollar or to defy authority. Pirates of the Caribbean, the popular Disney trilogy about a Pirate named Jack Sparrow and his antics, are not quite as accurate as some may believe about pirates. Pirates aren’t comical, clumsy drunks as depicted in the movie. Pirates are what I like to call terrorists of the sea, “they were used to sell everything from rum to cars, from homes to insurance.”
The Titanic set voyage on April 1912 to New York. The Titanic and its sister ships, Olympia and Britannic were said to be virtually unsinkable by a magazine article, not the White Star Line. The Titanic was the second ship to set sail on its maiden voyage out of the three sister ships. The Titanic had been built a lot differently than most of the ships back then. For example, a normal ship was built with three funnels but the Titanic had four. The fourth funnel did not serve the same purpose like the other three; its use was for steam to be released from the kitchen. Another example was that the Titanic was the biggest ship at the time. The ship had received ice warnings at least six different times from ships but Captain Smith had ignored
The origins of the cruise industry can be traced to 1818 when Black Ball Line began shuttling its customers between America and Europe, taking note of the comfort of its passengers. (Boyd, n.d.) The introduction of air transportation as a more economic transport alternative forced ocean liners, which ferried people to destinations in comfort, to innovate into a new product for survival. (Boyd, n.d.)
Kristi and I were given the key to our room. OUR room. Thank god our parents had decided to get a third room just for us. Unfortunately, it was in a middle hallway, which meant no windows. But on a boat like this, who needed windows?? We got to the door, Level 3--Room 3053, and our bags were sitting neatly outside the doorway. One swipe of the card key in the door and we threw the bags in. Time to explore the rest of the surroundings.
Wow! I am really going on a cruise today. When I get all my things together at my house I hit the road and drive to our destination.When I arrive to my destination, there is very many people there,and very enormous cruise ships beside me. I walk around for a little while until they tell me to get ready to border the ship. It takes me a while until I reach the entrance to the cruise. When I get closer it gets bigger and bigger and it blocks off the sun from me. When I look up to the entrance the door rises down and everyone hurries in so they can get in their room and I do the same. I finally reach the top and I go inside and it is very magical and wonderful.
