The launch of Oasis, the world's biggest cruise ship, Disney Cruise Line's new virtual portholes on inside cabins, Norwegian Dawn loses power and plunges passengers into the hell of no air-conditioning, news of how cruising is faring during the recession.
All big stories during 2009, but what was the most-read cruise-related news article plucked from the hundreds sent out in a daily e-newsletter to travel agents by the American Society of Travel Agents?
That a videotape caught images of a woman jumping from a Princess Cruises' ship as it sailed along the coast of Alaska.
Good to know ASTA readers are keeping their fingers on the pulse.
