There's a mixup in Origins about P&O being first...
P&O first introduced passenger-cruising services in 1844, advertising sea tours to destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Athens, sailing from Southampton.
Current contents of this article reads as if a company not existing before around 1977 made business in 1844, which would make smart 12 years olds laugh maddly, and dismiss Wikipedia as serious source of info when laughing fit settles.
I propose change of link from P&O (which currently means P&O Cruises) to P&O (company) at first, e.g.
P&O first introduced passenger-cruising services in 1844, advertising sea tours to destinations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Athens, sailing from Southampton
Later a section (or permanent link) to the part of that article with historically correct name could be created in that article and link changed to show there. I'll probably do the first change in a week or two, if nobody disagrees here. -- Marjan Tomki SI ( talk) 08:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Are there any good statistics on how long cruises typically last? Does it vary by destination? -- Beland ( talk) 03:29, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't believe this: "Cruise ships may use 60 percent of the fuel energy for propulsion, and 40 percent for hotel functions". Here is a source that says 20%, which I find more believable: [1] GA-RT-22 ( talk) 15:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
