Opinions of interviewed professionals also agree on syand by that cruise ships are mobile cities, and only very few deny the evidence. These private cities are successful due to a main reason: they are business, and this is supported by the survey answers and by the use of tag clouds, software tools for research that show a clear expositive image of representative domain words...
