Things That Make No Sense On A Cruise Ship

…around this problem, the old cruise liners from the 40s, 50s and 60s, like Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2, used to have the pool inside and at the very bottom of the ship. In QE2’s case it was actually around the water line. Nowadays, passengers expect pools to be out in the sunlight and so they must be at the top of ship. This magnifies the risk of throwing the ship off balance in rougher weather when the water starts moving around. That is also why…

…row beds of water. I’ve seen it firsthand on Holland America’s Koningsdam, Cunard’s Queen Victoria and Oceania Cruises’ Marina. However, this experience was elevated when I sailed through the Corinth Canal, in Greece. This small canal is only 70 feet wide, 26 feet deep, the sides rise 300 feet and it is 4 miles long.
