Feb 7, 2010 Eleven new cruise ships - with 27,263 new berths - will hit the high seas this year. ItOs a second boom in as many years: In 2008, the cruise industry unveiled nine new ships with more than 23,000 berths. The parade of new ships and additional staterooms is expected to dip next year and really slow in 2012 as the industry reflects the impact of the ship-ordering drought that began when the economy started to tank about two years ago. But for now, the news is good for would-be cruisers, as lines compete to fill their ships. Feb 4, 2010
