                                    Cruise Ship Holidays
      Passengers on cruise ship holidays, as they are  (0)   on TV programs and films, usually appear to be both rich and elderly. Such people do not, however, accurately represent the 6.8 million  (19)   who took this kind of holiday last year.

The three large companies between them spend more than $ 100 million a year on TV  (31)   in America. They  (32)   armies of salesman. Delivering passengers to the ship is part of package deal and, once again,  (33)   means savings: Cruise Star is the biggest single buyer of airline tickets in America.  [br]
