A Closer Look at Cruise Gratuities Since the days of the RMS Titanic, cruise ships have been designed with reinforced hulls that can withstand high-speed impacts with solid objects. Modern cruise ships rely on advanced and sophisticated safety mechanisms, including stability control systems. They are also designed to have extremely low centers of gravity, which may seem surprising given the enormous scale of today’s cruise ships. A cruise ship’s stability and buoyancy are also enhanced by keeping its center of gravity low. An object’s center of gravity is the average location where the weight of the object is concentrated.
