Cruise Hive was started by a young guy named Emrys Thakkar who has always been involved in web design since he was only 15 years old. In 2004 he decided to work on a cruise ship in the gift shops. He ended up on the Carnival Sensation, Carnival Glory, Carnival Celebration and Carnival Conquest. He's still working on cruise ships and as soon as he finishes working he spends time on Cruise Hive doing maintenance and adding more pages! how about that for dedication. In July 2008 Emrys will be working on the Carnival Splendor which is Carnival's newest and biggest ship sailing from Dover in the UK.

Working on cruise ships is what gave Emrys the idea for Cruise Hive. It's a UK based site and theres not many of them around and the market is set to explode with newer and bigger ships coming out of the UK. Cruise Hive is a site where people can find out about certain ships and add their views or if people just love cruise ships then this is the place to be.

Cruise Hive is a brand new site and no money or investment has gone into the site at all. This is just 1 persons hard work and dedication!  if you have any comment on the site or anything at all then please tell everyone what you think at the forums. 

Cruise Hive Time Line

April 2007
Emrys had already been working on Cruise Ships for several years but this time he thought about putting together a cruise web site, he already saw some on the web but thought there still room for one coming from the UK.

September 2007
Emrys finished working his contract for a couple of months and started designing a cruise web site, mainly putting together names for a site and logos and all that.

May 2008
Emrys just finished his next ship and this time when he was home he started designing the actual Cruise Hive web site but because he had to be back on the ship in 2 months he didn't have much time to complete it. So he could only do half a job but the site was up and running.

August 2008
It was decided that Emrys & his girls friend were to join up on the brand new Carnival Splendor so he thought this would be a great chance to get e block going on Cruise Hive at the forums. This was done but towards the end there wasn't much time for the site because on the Cruise Ship it's all about working non-stop!

November 2008
Emrys came home for Christmas and this time he decided to comppletely re-design Cruise Hive and make it more durable in today's market.
