Since the first edition of this book, there have been many important developments in the industry and this new edition features revised chapters on: contemporary cruise operations cruise geography itinerary planning health, safety and security maritime issues and legislation. In addition, there is a new chapter on 'Cruise Management Resources' intended to be of benefit to research students. Cruise Operations Management presents a range of issues illustrated by a number of case studies that encourage the reader to examine the often complex circumstances that surround problems or events associated with cruise operations. The case studies are contemporary and are constructed from first hand research with a number of international cruise companies providing a real world insight into this industry. They include 'Roles and Responsibilities on a Cruise Ship', 'Customer Service Systems and Passenger Profiles' and 'Managing Food and Drink Operations Onboard'. Each case study is followed by questions that are intended to illuminate issues and stimulate discussion.

Many cruises schedule formal dining nights where guests dress formally and the menu is elaborately planned. Buffet-style eateries, ethnic-themed restaurants and bars and nightclubs are some of the amenities in modern cruise ships. They also offer a host of entertainment choices and options such as casinos, spas, fitness centers, gyms, pool tables, shops, theatres and many more. The management of the hospitality services is of the utmost essence in cruise ships, and it includes varied hotel operations, laundry operations, housekeeping, lodging, security monitoring, casino management, etc. This book attempts to understand the diverse departments that fall under hospitality management in the cruise ship industry. It also sheds light on the skills, roles and responsibilities of this sector. For all those who are interested in cruise ships, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
