Cruise ships are literally floating entertainment and recreation
centers with virtually every kind of amusement and service amenity on
board. They have arcades, night clubs, casinos, computer rooms,
libraries, movie theaters and lecture halls. They sail for days with
large number of staff, passengers and crew. Hence having a proper store
of necessary provisions is highly necessary.

Most if not all cruise ships are able to accommodate wheelchair
users, diabetics, passengers on dialysis, oxygen users, the visually
and hearing impaired and passengers traveling with service animals. A
service animal is a guide dog, or any animal trained to perform tasks
for a disabled person.

Cruise ships are designed with serious comfort in mind, so they have
a lot of amenities and a lot of staff to oversee those amenities for
the as many as 3,000 passengers. These thousands of passengers are
spread out over the ship’s multiple levels called decks. These cruise
ships are also relatively easy to “contain” that is, it’s easy to
control and limit access to the ships. When a ship is in port,
passengers and crew can only enter through one or two controlled access
points, where ship’s security personnel can check IDs, manifests and
such.
