They all look nearly the same to me

Oh, and P&O Cruises has nothing to do with P&O, they just have the same name

I was under the impression, that P&O do cruises in other countries apart from Britian.

If I am correct, they use to sail to Austrailia a lot :)

I'm not sure about there being no connection between the two. "Pacific Sun" is flying the P&O houseflag on her jackstaff. I feel sure therefore that the two companies are one and the same. So many cruise Companies are now owned by Carnival anyway so it is not surprising.

Wouldn't say liner exactly.

Technically speaking a "Liner" is any ship on a regular service, It can be a cargo liner, passenger liner or even a tanker, provided that she runs a regular service and is not a tramp which trades anywhere it can pick up a cargo of whatever, even passengers ::) So to be really correct, a cruise ship is not a liner unless she does the same run on a regular basis.

Thanks for the explanation Traddles, would you think that Ventura would be a liner? I don't know what cruises it does... :)

Hi Shipaddict,
The term Liner is used very loosely nowadays, such that to most folks any big passenger ship is a liner. But as I said earlier it isn't 100% correct. But then so many words now have differing meanings than they did a while ago, a very simple example is the word "gay".
