2. Explosions and fires are possible
If you thought that fires and explosions were something that was probably never going to happen in real life and was only seen in movies in order to create suspense and induce certain feelings in the audience, well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but they’re as real as they can get.
Speaking of that, there’s a recent report that says that roughly 60 people per year get injured while they are on cruise ships. The reason is different operational mishaps, which can be collisions, getting stranded, small fires, real explosions, and even ships that end up sinking.
So if you ever decide to have fun on a cruise ship, make sure you’re well informed about all the side effects that you can experiment with there, and don’t forget to get life insurance. Better safe than sorry!

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO..
I HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT CRUISE VACATIONS NOW..
In 2023, 25.1 billion people are expected to cruise, so if you look at only 60 injuries, 90 crimes (including 60 assaults), and either 3 deaths a month (or even 3 per week ~ [but I don’t trust that source]) a cruise seems like a very safe vacation.
After seeing a show and having drinks, you don’t have to worry about drunk drivers or getting a dui yourself. You don’t have to cook for a week, so no kitchen mishaps. If there are activities such as a rock wall, there is an employee there to assist you with safety gear and proper suggestions.
I have a cruise scheduled the end of April. After over 20 cruises, I am ready to enjoy the cruise ship life ~ I don’t even care where we go, I spend most of my time enjoying my balcony room, the piano bar, the shows, and of course the food.
I went on a cruise to Alaska on Royal Carribean Lines and it was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone.
I and my husband took the same cruise. Witnessing icebergs “calving” and whale sightings is awesome.
This info is crucial people are aware of the possibility of things happening.
of course they have a morgue. better than someone dying and just leaving in a room or throwing overboard.. people die everyday. and crimes can happen anywhere as well as you can get hurt anywhere. I got hurt in a cruise ship the first day m, but I just slipped in some water because my flip flops were super slippery and hurt my arm had it in a sling. and also you can get bedbugs anywhere you go as well. so no this doesn’t scare me. cruises are a blast.
So much of what you say here could when you are driving or walking down a busy street in a large city. Be aware of what is going around you and do not take silly chances.
Bugs can be taken caye of by certain sprays or bring your own sheets. Unfortunately this happens at home in peoples mattreresses with unarare people.
As one who has been on 38 cruises-some 230 nights at sea, I feel that I am qualified to comment. The scenarios described tend to emphasize the worse cases. Certainty, I’ve experienced smallest cabins & bathrooms, bad weather and choppy seas, but rarely have any other items have occurred. So go on your cruises with anticipation of having a great time. Chances are you’ll not be disappointed.
I love cruising better than any other vacation! There are risks anywhere you go and I feel cruising is as safe as anywhere to go.
i love a cruise and will take one again
The information was certainly eye opening for sure. No, I think I will mark cruising on a ship off my bucket list! As well as maybe flying after all their tragedies!
Do you fly? Do you take an airplane when you go on vacation?you can have fire, flood, mudslides, earthquakes where you are, even at your home. Look at Hawaii, California to start. You can be walking ,or in a mall, or in the doctor’s office and get infected, or get shot on your way. You can be in an airplane that can crash anytime. All these things can happen anytime and anywhere. Do you bring with you slippers or bacteria disinfectants and sterilize the bathroom or shower in hotels, er the commodes before and after you use it, anywhere? Do you go to movies or ride a bus? You can get bed bugs there or bacteria and fungus by just seating. I sometimes enjoy myself in casinos. I see a lot of people use the urinal and commode and do not wash their hands before leaving. What you are saying is very true but so stupid to say it that way. You should instead suggest precautionary measures, to be careful outside or even in your home ….. always, not to wear street shoes in the house because the streets are filthy, etc. Good luck!
I’ve been on several cruises which were very enjoyable. Bad things happen everywhere and cruises are not immune.
