It is very unfortunate that just one bad cruise experience has ruined the chances of cruise industry in Pakistan. As if Pakistanis are incapable of learning from mistakes?!
I took my first cruise to the Bahamas about 1 year ago. Many, many of the user comments/reviews I read about the cruise ship (Norwegian Majesty) were quite negative–and that was for a well-established route, managed by a well established company. But we decided to put our money into that and had nothing but a wonderful experience we will never forget. Even in that trip we found people onboard complaining about dirty pools (wrong on that!) and long lines for food etc. We shrugged off minor things and focused on good things.
Let’s revive (er… ‘start’) the cruise industry in Pakistan in the near future.

While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Does anyone know if this is still operational?
I think this stopped running
Does anyone know if this service is still running?
