YouTube Video Description↓

A documentary from the early 2000's covering the cruise industry. It oversimplifies most of it, however it's a neat blast from the past. Note On Quality: This is an analogue to digital conversion. It was originally captured on VHS. The video therefore is pretty grainy, but the audio isn't too bad.
