Bigger Means Better
News reports in the last few weeks touched on Royal Caribbean International’s chief executive, Richard Fain, who told the Financial Times that bigger ships are safer ships.

Mystery Cruise
The Saga Ruby recently embarked on a “mystery cruise” where only the Captain, chief purser, shore excursions staff and watch keepers knew where the ship was actually heading.
