Are Cruises Safe?

May-25-2008 By admin

I’m not sure about you, but one person gone missing on a cruises ship is one too many for me.  I am not here to personally destroy the cruise industry (as if I were that influential), but we are all entitled to our own opinion, right?  I have never been on a cruise, and I don’t have any plans to go on one.  I don’t live in fear as a rule, but for me the perceived benefits just don’t outweigh the risks.  When I think of cruises, the first thing that comes to mind is The Love Boat, then the recent woman who went missing on a cruise ship, follow by outbreaks of Norovirus on cruise ships.

Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of friends and family that have taken cruises, and most of the times, they are a blast.  If you are going on a cruises, there are lots of things to be aware of that can make your trip have the most positive outcome.  MSN has a great list of cruise safety tips that you should definitely check out.
