There’s a reason why cruise ships take forever to reach their destinations. It’s because they are hardly moving! The speed of an average cruise ship is at 20 knots. What do 20 knots mean? Well, if you were on land, that’s 23 miles per hour. Now, of course, people who sign up for cruise ships enjoy the idea of cruising all day and night but for some people, that might get old about say, on day 3. You’ll be wondering – When on earth are we getting there?
