cruises
Ships as hotels
Cruises covers both the verb and noun.
To cruise is to travel at a steady, comfortable pace—a ship cruises the Caribbean, a car cruises down the highway.
Extended: to cruise through something is to handle it effortlessly She cruised through the exam.
To cruise for something is to search casually, whether for parking spots or sexual partners.
A cruise is a voyage on a ship, typically for pleasure: They went on a Mediterranean cruise.
Cruise control maintains steady speed without pressing the accelerator.
