3. Research all-about your chosen Line -- where do they go? How many ships? What are the ships like? What special themes and special features? What is their history? How is business? Any problems? How can you get a job with them? ...etc.
4. Prepare a presentation of about 12 minutes long (11~13), showing all these factors of that Line. Use PowerPoint, Prezi, etc. Act as-if you are presenting to a Travel & Job Agency about whether or not they should start using this Cruise Line.
