Another feature that Cruise Critics offers is their prediction of the cruising industry. They are conducting it on every first quarter of the year. It also helps cruising industry leaders plan ahead. Here are some of the latest predictions of Cruise Critic for the year 2006.

•  Cruising will be a perfect vacation for families because of family travel packages offered the previous years.

•  Ships without comprehensive children program will have difficulty in managing hundreds of energetic children.

•  Traditional swimming pool will now be out of style. The new approach is the on-board water park.

•  Do not be surprise if Ronald McDonald will say hello to you on-board. Cruise lines are continuing to include favorite brand names into cruise ships and restaurants and dining facilities.

•  Because of the growing amenities of cruise ships, an increase in cruise prices can be expected.

•  More cruise destinations are coming up, with Cunard Lines’ Queen Mary 2 will go around-the-world sailing.
