Abstract
V acation cruises —defined as the transportation of pleasure-seeking travelers on ocean voyages offering one or more glamourous ports of call—are the only elements that have survived from the once flourishing passenger steamship business. The importance of this type of service may be gauged by the fact that the port of Miami, Florida, embarked approximately two million travelers during 1983. Twenty-one cruise ships made that southern city their home port. Nationwide, the cruise business generated revenue of five billion dollars.1
