You are correct if you use the available search engines.
The reason I asked the question is that I was trying to find out how
this data is formatted and distributed so that a better search engine
program can be written. I know how to search for a cruise, I just think
the engines available are cumbersome, and weak.
I believe there is a market for a better tool!
