Cruise Misconceptions

Cruising can be very strange and alien for many people. Safety is very common reason. Idea of living on a ship can be a problem. There is a list goes on and on. But when people managed to sit down with a consultant or a travel agent, problems are easily solved. Let’s look at the list.

Certainly, safety problems should be a concern. Drowning is #1 reason on the list. But I have to tell you, that is not the biggest danger. Fire is. Captain and his staff are very aware of this. And they are well educated about this situation. Travelers must have knowledge about what to do when evacuation becomes necessary.

Another fear is becoming ill while on board. Counter medications like Dramamine or Bonine should be added to cruiser pack to avoid seasickness.

First time cruisers should take a short trip.

People assume that, living on a cruise ship are very different than everyday life. Let me tell you, some ships have much activities than many cities. Most of the megaships are floating cities. Depending on the cruise line, they offer many activities/venues like restaurants, theaters, Internet cafes, libraries, game rooms, children’ clubs, discos, ballrooms, a host of shopping boutiques, hair salons, SPAs, basketball courts, golf simulators, a running track, exercise room….The list goes on and on. I assure you, sometimes you might forget that you are still in the sea!!!!!
