...Royal Caribbean have steamed to record sales and profits. They have turned a once snooty form of travel into mass-market vacations for people like Ken and Sherry Nunn and daughter Ashley, an Indiana family that recently spent three nights aboard Royal Caribbean's cozy 2,250-passenger Sovereign of the Seas.
