‘I work on a cruise ship – here’s what it’s really like behind the scenes’

Alaska State

Landslide-generated tsunamis don’t come with any warning signs and they’re impossible to predict. Tsunami scientists are meeting with vessel operators in Alaska this month to put together some practical guidelines for captains to use in the case they encounter one of these snap tsunamis. These recommendations will be useful for the hundreds of tour ships that navigate the large landslide-prone coastlines of Alaska, Greenland, Chile, Norway, and New Zealand. Hopefully this summit will help prepare ships, and save lives in the process. A tsunami hasn’t killed any boat passengers in Alaska in 60 years, but as ice mass continues to dwindle in the face of a warming climate, the probability of a big event increases.

Spontaneous Tsunamis Could Take Out Cruise Ships

Big-ship cruises, with their thousands of passengers, double-digit deck plans, and mazes of corridors, aren’t for everyone. But with all that space comes a whole lot of dining options. I spent the last week of May onboard the brand new Princess Cruises ship the Sun Princess, a 21-deck cruise ship that can accommodate 4,300 guests and is billed as “The Greatest Foodie Destination at Sea.” During my seven-day Mediterranean sailing, I tried every specialty restaurant on the ship but one (The Catch by Rudi, a restaurant devoted to seafood), as well as some of the more casual food venues. Here is my ranking of the six (out of seven) specialty restaurants I tried, my reviews of the other dining venues, and everything you need to know before you sit down for a meal at any of them.
