The cruise industry’s efforts to appeal to younger, hipper crowds have taken a new turn. Royal Caribbean announced recently that it is opening “surf parks” on the decks of future ships. According to USA Today, the parks will feature a 32-foot-wide FlowRider pool with an artificial wave. Future riders should start practicing now. I rode a FlowRider in San Diego earlier this summer for the L.A. Times. It’s not easy.
