All the modern cruise ships have some sort of sonar on board. It is used to look at the depth of water below the keel. Sonar is relatively cheap because the current electronics technology and the manufacturing techniques used for it are advanced. Sonar rigs are so cheap that small 2- or 3-person fishing boats can be equipped with it at only a modest cost. The so-called fish finders can be had for a couple of hundred bucks. When the safety of a large and expensive passenger ship and the lives of passengers are at stake, why not have a unit on board to tell you how deep the water is? They cost benefit ratio is such that it is crazy not to have a sonar unit or two on board. Sonars have been able to give cruise ships and other ships clear and successful navigation even at times when conditions are not that well.
