- A Corporate Director (member of the Board of Directors) for a large shipbuilding company, is approached by Universal Studios. Like Disney, Universal Studios would like to have a cruise line.

The Director is friends with several members of another shipbuilding company and suggests that they could spin-off to start making cruise ships for Universal.
