Thread: Why You Shouldn't Worry

Here's an article that may put some new cruisers' minds at ease:

Everything That Could Go Wrong on a Cruise...and Why You Shouldn't Worry About It - AOL Travel News

(Not sure if anyone else had linked to that article.)

It lists some of the major worries and how to prevent them from happening (like missing the ship) and other things that we hear about (like rogue waves) that very seldom happen. Interesting article...thanks Patty.

Wish every first time cruiser would read it!

Way too many worry about things that are so very unlikely to happen.

Some useful stuff on there

I like that it gave some practical advice (fly in the day before, take the newsletter with you off the ship) and also debunked the idea that cruising is fraught with all sorts of dangers.

Yup, our fears often get the best of us but we really shouldn't let that stop us from enjoying a once in a lifetime (hopefully 500 ;p) opportunity such as a cruise vacation.

Wow...I read AOL travel all the time...I can't believe I missed this article!!! Good catch Crusin Chick!
