The difference between a ship and a boat?
Easy. A boat is what you get into if the ship is going down!
a boat is a vessel that can be caried by a ship.at least thats what I was told by captain Bligh.
This thread title Cruise ships of today will have to be changed to Resort Ships Of Today as that is what they are now known as, what next.Has anybody else heard this new title being bandied around.
Regards.

AM not suprised at anything anymore, we now live in a world that is beyond normal reasoning, its change for the sake of change, another no maritime example is in the care industry, i was a minibus driver for a long time for adults with learning difficulties, they were known as Residents, then it changed to Clients, then to Service Users, all in a short space of time, such stupid names, do you remember when Royal Mail was privatised , they changed the name to Consignia ! it never caught on,
holiday vessels would be an appropriate name?:p
can be described in one word , abortions.
