Easily the most famous film set on a ship. It is also one of the biggest money earners of all time bringing in a massive $1.8 Billion. $200 million is how much the film cost to make, which in turn made it the highest costing film for that time. The film is based around a fictional love story set on the titanic. A few characters within the movie that are based on real people.

The second speed film

It was given very poor reviews partly because of the fact many people didnt return to the sequel. Of course the main one is Keanu Reeves as he felt the script was not very good at all. The decapitated villian Dennis Hopper did also not want to return. As a whole this film was actually very bad. However this film is good because it has one of the best endings of all time which is the only reason it is on this list.

Carry On Cruising

Of coure this is just one of many films in the Carry On franchise. This was the first in the franchise to be fimed in colour. It is on the list simply because it is my favourite film in the entire series and needed to be here because the whole of the film is set on a cruise ship.

So whether you are on your way to one of those cunard cruises or even a Silversea cruises make sure you check out these films first. Thinking about it, these films all spell diaster for cruise ships but do not worry as they are just movies right?

This year cruising has seen a 5% increase from 2008 sparking the question, how? Cruises, the better ones anyway, are not cheap and with people taking pay cuts and other such things how on earth are they affording to go on wonderful cruises to anywhere in the world?

Saving seems to have a lot to do with it. People will save for many years just to go on a cruise and this is for many reasons.

Of course a reason for this could be that there are so many thigns to do on the ship. The thing is with these ships they have so much on offer such as gyms, brilliant dining, dinner shows and of course swimming pools.l. To be able to fit all of this in one place is certainly brilliant. Could the depression change next years figure?

As of 2010 the increase is supposed to go up by another 6.5%. Could it be something to do with the brand new ships out next year. Prices of these cruises have certainly improved a lot. There are just so many deals out there for people to choose from. There seem to be more companies offering cruises every year which means the prices are sure to go down even further. So now is the time to look for a cruise holiday, they are also very relaxing as you are free to do whatever you want, check out the pool, hit the gym or just relax in your cabin.

Of course the percentage increase is just estimation and we might not see as many people taking river cruises as well as cunard cruises like we first thought, however all we can really do is wait it out.
