Found this great infographic from The Cruise Line and with their permission, I am able to share it with you on my blog. They say that to you can follow along to see how luxury cruising has evolved since the 1980s.

Terminal A at Boston Logan International Airport It’s always an interesting statistic for me to hear that only about 25% of the US population have ever cruised considering we love cruising.
