No one can blame you really, as these are the pictures you see in the media. These are also the kind of pictures used by cruise companies, which helps to cement the idea in your head where their ships are concerned.

Cruise Ship Reality
This is where your glowing admiration and impression of cruise ships come to a crashing halt. It is important to say that the picture below isn’t representative of all ships, as some of them are truly immaculate.

So, if the ship looks a bit different from what you imagined, you shouldn’t be too surprised.
