My family has been on two cruise vacations without incident in the past 6 years, although now that we've discovered and enjoy all-inclusive resort vacations in Mexico, its likely we will never cruise again. Part of this is because of the cruise ship troubles the last few years and my wife is now turned off at the idea of a cruise.
In the last few years several ships have had mechanical troubles, breaking down and becoming stranded, leaving passengers with no A/C, running water or hot meals, to mention a few. The latest was this week when a Carnival ship became stranded in the gulf due to mechanical problems. Other issues have been ships running aground, sinking in storms and sickness breaking out on ships.
With all these issues as of late, does the idea of a cruise ship vacation still excite you or are you to frightened and concerned to cruise?
