Book information
Description
A critical view of the cruise industry, an analysis of the inherent dangers carried by the business driven choices that affected the design of the new ships. Compounded by a critical view of the image that we get from a subservient media. Through a review of the way the event of the past were reported and how the stories are still told today this work underscores the weaknesses and the faults that were not meant to be seen by the public, it shows how confusion and misleading reports managed to hide all those flaws and weaknesses in plain sight. It also underscores the lessons that have never been learnt because the business cannot afford to learn while they chase the myth of eternal growth. The result of the frantic search for growth can be seen in the huge debts that weigh heavily on the accounting of all the major lines, notwithstanding the big sums they can earn during the good years. Debts that dictate the pace of their operations and determine the technical choices behind the design of the new ships, thus leaving many open questions on the impact they have on the safety of their passengers.
