CRUISE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
A VIRTUAL SERVICE CASE
Operations Management, 4e
Reid, Sanders
The following virtual service case has been developed as an
interactive supplement to the Reid & Sanders Operations
Management textbook. The case requires you, the student, to
assume the role of an intern working for Cruise International,
Inc. (CII). Cruise International operates cruise ships globally.
During your internship you will be working at corporate
headquarters on both strategic and tactical issues as well as on
board one or more of our cruise ships. While Cruise
International is a fictional company, much of the data used with
regard to the cruise industry is real. There has been some
manipulation of the data to include Cruise International as part
of the industry. Much of the data has been adapted from an annual report done by the Cruise Lines
International Association, Inc. The style and format of this virtual case draws heavily from the previous
Virtual Company Consulting Case developed by Ted Helmer of Theodore Helmer and Associates, Inc. and
Jon Ozmun of Northern Arizona University.
An Overview of the Cruise Industry
In 2006, the size of the worldwide cruise market was approximately 12 million passengers. Of those 12
million passengers, 10 million passengers embarked on cruise voyages from ports in North America. The
U.S. cruise passengers, representing approximately 78% of the worldwide cruise passengers, have about 9
million passenger embarkations.
The total economic impact of the cruise lines, passengers, and their U.S. suppliers reached $35.7 billion
according to a study done by the Business Research and Economic Advisors (BREA). In the BREA report,
it shows the following U.S. industries that most benefited from the cruise industry.
Professional & Technical Services $4.0 billion
Nondurable Goods Manufacturing $4.8 billion
Travel Services $3.9 billion
Financial Services $2.3 billion
Airline Transportation $2.1 billion
Wholesale Trade $1.8 billion
Direct spending of the cruise lines and their passengers on goods and services produced in the United
States in 2006 was $17.6 billion. This spending resulted in 348,000 U.S. jobs paying $14.7 billion in wages.
In 2006, the top ten U.S. cruise port cities, ranked by number of embarkations, were Miami, Port Canaveral,
Port Everglades, Galveston, Los Angeles, New York, Tampa, Long Beach, Seattle, and Honolulu. Florida
remains the center of the U.S. cruising industry, accounting for almost 56% of the embarkations. California's
cruise ports represented nearly 14% of all U.S. embarkations. Texas is the highest growth market. New
York increased embarkations to 536,000 with the opening of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. U.S. ports of call
had approximately five million cruise ship visits in 2006. Most of the visits were to Alaska, Hawaii, and Key
West.
Following are some fast facts about the cruise industry.

CRUISE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
A VIRTUAL SERVICE CASE
Operations Management, 4e
Reid, Sanders
The following virtual service case has been developed as an
interactive supplement to the Reid & Sanders Operations
Management textbook. The case requires you, the student, to
assume the role of an intern working for Cruise International,
Inc. (CII). Cruise International operates cruise ships globally.
During your internship you will be working at corporate
headquarters on both strategic and tactical issues as well as on
board one or more of our cruise ships. While Cruise
International is a fictional company, much of the data used with
regard to the cruise industry is real. There has been some
manipulation of the data to include Cruise International as part
of the industry. Much of the data has been adapted from an annual report done by the Cruise Lines
International Association, Inc. The style and format of this virtual case draws heavily from the previous
Virtual Company Consulting Case developed by Ted Helmer of Theodore Helmer and Associates, Inc. and
Jon Ozmun of Northern Arizona University.
An Overview of the Cruise Industry
In 2006, the size of the worldwide cruise market was approximately 12 million passengers. Of those 12
million passengers, 10 million passengers embarked on cruise voyages from ports in North America. The
U.S. cruise passengers, representing approximately 78% of the worldwide cruise passengers, have about 9
million passenger embarkations.
The total economic impact of the cruise lines, passengers, and their U.S. suppliers reached $35.7 billion
according to a study done by the Business Research and Economic Advisors (BREA). In the BREA report,
it shows the following U.S. industries that most benefited from the cruise industry.
Professional & Technical Services $4.0 billion
Nondurable Goods Manufacturing $4.8 billion
Travel Services $3.9 billion
Financial Services $2.3 billion
Airline Transportation $2.1 billion
Wholesale Trade $1.8 billion
Direct spending of the cruise lines and their passengers on goods and services produced in the United
States in 2006 was $17.6 billion. This spending resulted in 348,000 U.S. jobs paying $14.7 billion in wages.
In 2006, the top ten U.S. cruise port cities, ranked by number of embarkations, were Miami, Port Canaveral,
Port Everglades, Galveston, Los Angeles, New York, Tampa, Long Beach, Seattle, and Honolulu. Florida
remains the center of the U.S. cruising industry, accounting for almost 56% of the embarkations. California's
cruise ports represented nearly 14% of all U.S. embarkations. Texas is the highest growth market. New
York increased embarkations to 536,000 with the opening of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. U.S. ports of call
had approximately five million cruise ship visits in 2006. Most of the visits were to Alaska, Hawaii, and Key
West.
Following are some fast facts about the cruise industry.

Pyxis Tankers Inc. presented an overview of their company and the product tanker market. They have a young fleet of six modern tankers with an average age of 6.3 years. Their strategy is to opportunistically grow their fleet while maintaining financial flexibility and focusing on customer needs. The product tanker market fundamentals are favorable over the next few years as demand is expected to outpace supply.

casual employee on April 2,
2014 as Assistant / Projects. He
was then was promoted as Mar-
keting / Projects on a full time
basis on January 26, 2015.
He has over 3 years experience
in organizing events within the
Timmins area. His skills include
marketing, projects coordination,
business development and numb
chucks.
If you would like to contribute a
story or news article to our news-
letter, please email Willy Metat
@ willy.metat@creewest.ca
Wacheya. I would like to take this
time to introduce myself and thank
you for reading our Newsletter.
My name is Willy Metat from an iso-
lated community called Fort Albany
First Nation. The community is lo-
cated on Sinclair and Anderson’s
Island on the Albany River. It can
be accessible via water and air trav-
el during the summer months and
has a winter road connecting to
Moosonee and other near by com-
munities during the winter months.
I currently reside in Timmins ON
which is approximately 404 km
south of Albany. There, I work as
Marketing / Projects for CreeWest
GP Inc. where I work on their news-
letter and other marketing material.
I started working for CreeWest in
April 2014 as a casual employee.
Most of my time was spent at home
with my newborn, Ember Metat
(She is now a one year old who
makes more of a mess than her
mother). I stayed at home on EI for
a good 8 memorable months before
getting back into the work force.
As of January 26, 2015, I am a full
time employee for CreeWest.
Since my start date with CreeWest,
I have learnt so much about the avi-
ation industry. CreeWest has seen
so much growth in the past two
years alone. We have come a long
way from our one office in Timmins
with two employees. We now have
a newly acquired hanger in Sioux
Lookout with two new air crafts. We
have also acquired the shares and
assets to both Northern Skies Air
Services and Northern Airborne
Maintenance. Both companies are
now a division of CreeWest LP.
CreeWest still has a lot of room for
growth in the future. We have our
aim set for success and will contin-
ue to move forward. We take pride
in serving our clients and share
holders. I would like to thank our
community ownerships Weenusk
FN, Kashechewan FN, Fort Albany
FN and Attawapiskat FN. And thank
you for taking the time to review our
newsletter.

4. CreeWest along with our present Joint Venture with Air Creebec that is now going into its 7th
year, CreeWest has diversified and expanded into “Joint Venture” agreements with Logikal
Code, Winmar Restorations Timmins, McCabe Promotional products and WiskAir Helicop-
ters, recognizing the potential for business opportunities for all parties.
With our JV partners being specialists in their field of work, they also realise to grow their
business and open up doors for more opportunities, joint venturing with a First Nations Re-
gional Organization would certainly assist this opportunity along.
CreeWest recognizes that these joint ventures will have its share of benefits as well for the
Limited Partnership communities consisting of Peawanuck (Weenusk), Attawapiskat, Fort
Albany and Kashechewan in agreement on sales promoted and obtained due to the Joint
Venture. CreeWest has diversified and expanded into these “Joint Venture” agreements
recognizing the potential for business opportunities for all parties.

The Mushkegowuk Council held its 29th
Mamowihitowin of the Omushkego

wan First Nation from January 26-28,
2015. The event was held to collectively
address issues relating to the communi-
ties within Mushkegowuk territory such as
health, education, housing,
and economic development.
It was also a place for the
Mushkegowuk and other
companies and organiza-
tions to quickly report their
activities. CreeWest was
honoured to be invited to
attend this great event.
CreeWest had the oppor-
tunity to present the Mush-
kegowuk Council of its busi-
ness activities on January
28. Ron Basaraba, along
with Mike Metatawabin, Hosea Wesley
and Willy Metat sat on the panel to repre-
sent CreeWest and its group of compa-
nies.
“October 16, 2013 saw the deals closed
and finalized with the acquisitions of
Sioux Lookout Hangar, Chieftain Navajo
PA-31 350 aircraft and the shares of
Northern Skies Air Service which is now a
Division of CreeWest LP.” says Ron
Basaraba as he speaks at the AGA.
“Hangar Renovations Started in Novem-
ber 2013 and completed Introducing a
new passenger lobby and crew accom-
modations mid- April 2014.”
“As well August 1, 2014 saw the deal
close on the purchase of Northern Air-
borne Maintenance which is now another
division of CreeWest”
Ron continues saying, “Mid-April 2014
Northern Skies Air Service (a
division of CreeWest) started
flight operations in Charter and
Cargo work. At this time we also
started generating revenue with
rental tenants in the hangar
from the Sioux Lookout base.”
“November 2014 Northern
Skies Air Service (a division of
CreeWest) added a second
Navajo aircraft to its fleet to ac-
commodate the increased work
load and demand for air charter
services out of the Sioux Look-
out base of operations.”
“CreeWest and its two division companies
employ 15 staff. 1 year ago we only had
two staff. We are now officially an airline
with our own Transport Canada Operating
Certificate presently operating 2 Navajo
PA-31 aircraft. We run a fully operational
aircraft maintenance base for fixed wing
wheeled aircraft as well as float opera-
tions aircraft and are licensed and

- Jordan Lysak
Jordan Lysak is a pilot for
Northern Skies Air Services
based out of Sioux Lookout

“I chose CreeWest because a
few friends in the industry had
told me about this new up-and
-coming company (Northern
Skies) that would be a great
opportunity to advance my ca-
reer” Jordan says in our inter-
view.
“When I was younger, I was
very fortunate to be taken on
many trips with my parents
that required air travel.”
Jordan went to school at Con-
federation College in Thunder
Bay and graduated from the

He continues to say “My par-
ents got me a framed certifi-
cate from the first airline flight I
took when I was four years
old. Fifteen years later to the
day I received my commercial
pilots licence.”
I asked Jordan what is the
best thing about his career, he
responded by saying “I'm a
people person and love to
meet new people everyday.
My career allows me to see
places and people that not
everyone gets to witness or

10. Great Study Habits
don’t come Easily
Some people believe that suc-
cessful students are just born
that way. That they get good
grades and know exactly how to
do things in class. That is not the
case at all. We all have that abil-
ity to be completely focused on
a single task. The assignment is
going to be done only when you
choose it to be done. The hard-
est part is getting into the mo-
tion of studying is actually sitting
down and telling yourself “now
is the time”. Once you get that
out of the way, you then have to
develop work habits for school
and studying. Here are two
items to becoming a better stu-
dent.
Choose the right Environment:
When it comes to studying or
working on that big project
that’s worth 25% of your final
grade, one of the most im-
portant things for you to do is
focus. This means getting rid of
all distractions. One of the first
things to do is to find a place to
study. Some people enjoy music
while studying, but I personally
hate it. I like to find a nice quiet
place where I can focus on the
reading at hand. That means
going to the library, locking
yourself into a room, going to
one of the college’s study rooms
or even locking yourself into a
car! By all means, find that area.
Another thing to consider is to
only have what you really need
to study. Are you going to be
checking your phone every five
minutes to see if your photo got
two more ‘likes’? Maybe you
want to tweet “studying really
hard today.
#okforsurethisismylasttweet”.
Get rid of the phone if it’s not
needed. Only bring what is really
needed. For example, when I
had to study accounting, the
only items I brought with me
was my accounting book, a note-
pad and a pen. That is all. Laptop
closed, phone is off.
Right state of mind:
This means becoming passionate
about what you do. Finding that
love for work. Once you love
what you do, it won’t seem like
work at all. It will not feel like a
task but rather an enjoyment.
Become a fanatic about what
you’re studying. Let the joy of
learning become the spark that
really gets the juices flowing.
Allow yourself to become what
you study. This is for you or
whoever you’re doing it for.
Also, always have your goal in
mind. Write it down on a piece
of paper and read it every time
you get the chance. Read it once
when you wake, a couple of
times during the day, and once
before you go to sleep. This goal
can be written down on any
piece of paper. What should you
write on that paper? Write what
your heart wants. For example,
write “I’m in school to make
more money for my future”, or
“My dream is to become the
best at my field.” or even “I’m
going to get this degree so that
my children can have a better
life than I had at their age.”
Write down your goal. Remind
yourself constantly and always
believe you can achieve it. Your
goal is to finish school, but the
fuel to get there comes from
your belief system.
In conclusion, I’d like you to fol-
low Nike’s advice and “Just Do
It”. Don’t take your time for last
minute studying. Make it hap-
pen now. Work on that assign-
ment. Get your reading out of
the way right now. Make it ur-
gent! Set your own deadlines
and follow them. Become a fa-
natic in your area and every-
thing you want will come knock-
ing at your door.
Happy studies.

Santa Claus visited Weenusk
First Nation this past holiday
season. He went to the local
Ma-Tah-Ha-Mao school to
hand out gifts to the children
of Weenusk.
The children all cheered as
Santa Claus entered the gym
holding his bag of gifts and
jingle bells.
Micheline Hunter, Healthy Ba-
bies Healthy Children worker
in Weenusk First Nation, co-
ordinated and hosted this
great event with donations
from Weenusk First Nation
and partial donations from
Evelyn Turner.
As she called out the names
of the children, you can see
the smiles on their faces.
“The smiles alone made this
trip worth while” says Santa.
Before leaving Weenusk,
Santa made another stop at
their community hall to hand
out another bag of gifts.
“Although this audience was
a little older, they still had an
amazing time.” says Mr.
Claus.
Overall, it was great to have
Santa Claus visit the children
of Weenusk First Nation.
“It was amazing to see the
excited smiles and faces of
joy as I entered the school
gym. You could hear the chil-
dren quite down as I started
ringing the jingle bells and
slowly making my way to the
gym. It was the highlight of
my visit to Weenusk.” says

13. Community Success
“I accepted the past and never looked back just kept moving forward because there’s
nothing there for me anymore. Today I am at peace with myself.” Bernice Scott
P.13
Bernice Scott, a community member of
Fort Albany First Nation, has come a long
way in her own personal development.
She has, like many people in reserves,
been dealing with an alcohol problem that
has not only affected herself, but has also
affected her family and friends. She has
been through both physical and mental
abuse as a result of her addiction. Dealing
with alcohol in her twenties became un-
manageable, and at times, overwhelming.
“I was so lost and confused” Bernice says.
“but something, someone was watching
over me and showed me that I have a
purpose on this earth today and that it’s to
help people who are going through what
I’ve gone through.”
A mother of four children and one grand-
child, she had decided to change this for
the better. Seeking treatment was one of
her first options but it didn’t work at times
saying that she felt that she wasn’t ready.
She goes on to say that one of her siblings
and his friend had both encouraged her to
live a healthier life style. They invited her
to join them in a sweat lodge and she ac-
cepted. Although she still had a drinking
problem following the initial sweat lodge,
she stayed committed to change. Bernice
continued to pursue ceremonies such as
sweat lodges, fasting, and the yearly sun-
dance.
“I saw them living a good life and being
happy” Bernice says, “I was so grateful
that my bro and friend introduced me to
these ceremonies. They were there for me
by being supportive. And I also started go-
ing for long walks to have that peace of
mind because quitting my addiction was
very hard because it stayed with me for a
long time. That’s all I knew. That awful un-
healthy life I lived was hell. And today I am
happy. I am healthy. I have learned to let
go and let god. I have learned to forgive
those people that did me wrong.”
“Today, I can say that my life is great and
I am happy and grateful for everything
that I have accomplished.” Bernice has
been sober for 27 months. Lost 45
pounds. Started her fitness journey two
years ago. She eats healthier and drinks
6 to 8 glasses of water a day. She has
been 3 months smoke free. And lastly,
she is now taking academic upgrading to
go to college and become a social work-
er.
She continues to say, “I did this for my
children and grandson. They are my life.
They are very proud of me today. They
see me as a role model. They are following
in my footsteps. They want to eat healthier
and exercise.”
“I am a whole different person today. I am
understanding, forgiving, caring, kind, hon-
est and a better mom and grandma. I am
still growing and learning every single day!
I still have my bad days and good days. No
one is perfect. We’re human. Just trying to
be better than I was before. I am grateful
to still have my life and children today.”

Rosary Spence, from Fort Albany
First Nation, was also in attendance
at the Gala.
She sang our National Anthem in a
room full of quiet listeners. You can
hear the room become silent as her
voice started to echo throughout the
gala. She did an amazing job.
Rosary is a well recognized Indige-
nous singer. She has performed at
public events such as the
ImagineNative Film Festival, Planet
IndigenUS, and World Pride, as an
opening act for various events and
conferences, and has also per-

laboration album with various artists
