Why is the first day of a cruise typically a sea day?

[Cruise or Lose!]

You did. You said that you wanted more port calls because «*I don’t care about the ship*». Did I misunderstand you?

Tom, it's really pretty simple. They want to provide a cruise ship experience while making money with a captive audience. There was actually a pretty good documentary, I believe it was the NCL Pearl, where they showed how this works and how the profit margin line is pretty thin that they have to reach for each cruise.

Thanks. That's my belief as well.
