What cruise passengers want

Posted by Sue Bryant Mar 10, 2007

Cruisers have some pretty strange ideas, according to a survey of 1,700 cruise vacationers by search website kayak.com. For some reason, a zip line (on board a moving ship?) tops the wish-list of cruise passengers in the survey, while others dreamed about adults-only pools, parasailing, waterskiing and private hot tubs (which are actually already available if you choose the right ship and in the case of the private hot tubs, pay enough money).

Meanwhile, 52% of those questioned said they would hit the buffet immediately on boarding, although only 12% were prepared to admit that their clothes didn't usually fit when the cruise was over. Thirteen percent played safe and started their voyage with a motion sickness pill, while 23% picked 65-year-old Charo as The Love Boat guest they would most like to party with.
