21 Things You Just Wouldn’t Expect To See On A Cruise Ship

Everyone has their own preconceptions about what a cruise ship does (or maybe should) look like. From the experienced cruiser with a hundred voyages under their belt right through to the cruise newbie, these days everyone seems to have an idea of what to expect before they step on-board; whether it be from talking to friends and family, looking at brochures or watching videos online.

Every so often though a ship will surprise you. There’ll be something about it that you just wouldn’t expect to see; like for instance…

 

A bowling alley…
