Benefits of technology

[0014]Yet another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for locating a bowling lane on a ship comprising the steps of: locating the bowling lane as far as possible away from one or more of the group consisting of the bow of the ship, the stern of the ship, the starboard edge of the ship, and the port edge of the ship to minimize the transfer of angular and / or translational motion from the ship to the bowling lane. In another embodiment, the ship is a cruise ship. In yet another embodiment the ship is ocean going.

Problems solved by technology

The increased number of activities onboard, in addition to an increased number of passengers, has resulted in an increase in the size of cruise ships.
Modern cruise ships are extremely large and extremely heavy.
However, while the motion may be imperceptible to passengers, it may still have an effect on certain onboard activities.
In the past, due to the amount of motion experienced at sea, some amenities were thought to be ill-suited for installation on cruise ships.
In particular, cruise ships have traditionally not included bowling lanes because bowling requires a great deal of stability and precision.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the placement and installation of a bowling lane or bowling center on a ship. In particular, the invention relates to installing a bowling center on cruise ships.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit, under 35 U.S.C. §119 of provisional U.S. Application Ser. No. 60 / 949,916, filed Jul. 16, 2007, the entire contents and substance of which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the placement and installation of a bowling center on a ship. In particular, the invention relates to installing and using a bowling center on cruise ships. The bowling center may comprise one or more bowling lanes, and may additionally comprise arcade games, a disk jockey station, a full bar and the like. The bowling lanes may also be strategically placed in the ship to minimize the angular and / or translational motion of the lanes. Additionally, the bowling center, or portions therein, may be stabilized to prevent angular and / or translational motion to the extent practicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The cruise industry is an incredibly competitive one. Cruise prov...
