Best Answer

Todays modern cruise ships and ocean liners are required to meet all lifeboat requirements set by SOLAS. This is an organization which makes sure that all safety standards are met onboard any large passenger ship. The ships must have enough lifeboats to hold all the passengers and crew members with extra space included.
