  Cruise ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cruise ship is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the amenities of the ship are considered an essential part of the experience.
Later other cruises were introduced, such as to the islands of the Caribbean, and through the Mediterranean, and new ships were built to accommodate the growing demand.
Present-day cruise ships are organized much like floating hotels, with a complete "hospitality staff" in addition to the usual ship's crew.

 SFGov: Port of San Francisco: James R. Herman Cruise Ship Terminal Report
Cruises to San Francisco are also limited by the Passenger Services Act (PSA), an 1886 federal statute that prevents foreign-flagged cruise ships, which now dominate the cruise market, from sailing between U.S. ports without a stop at a foreign port along the way.
The PSA is a 112-year-old law which restricts foreign cruise ships from transporting passengers from one U.S. coastal city to another without stopping in a foreign port during the course of the cruise.
As discussed in Section 2, ship turnaround times in ports of call are on the decline; in other words, cruise ships are spending less time in each city they visit, allowing their passengers less time to frequent a city’s attractions.

 Cruise Critic News: NCL Christens Pride of Hawaii In L.A.
This was a historic day on many fronts for NCL America, the division of Norwegian Cruise Line, which has built American flagged and American staffed ships to sail the waters of Hawaii without having to go to a foreign port.
Although 4,000 of the new jobs are seafaring positions, the others are a direct result of the tourism that is brought to the region by NCL America's ships, the provisioning required to stock them, the airline schedules into Hawaii that have been expanded because of them.
In this case Veitch introduced a caveat: It was decided that having a man actually christening the ship might bring bad luck, so while Senator Inouye would perform the naming ceremony, a sextet of female employees, all from Hawaii, would do the honor of christening Pride of Hawaii.
