Thread: What are your biggest concerns while cruising?

None of the above.
For me, of the great joys of cruising is leaving concerns behind for a few days.
I know I'll return to more than enough at the end of the cruise to make up for those few care-free days.

I guess the one exception would be on the occasions that the ship has turned out to be our evacuation shelter, with a hurricane heading for the vacinity of our house. then, I am get concerned if the other passenhers want to talk through the captain's midday announcement, which usually includes a weather update on the current storm's position, heading, category, etc, Those are things I really want to hear, for obvious reasons.

After "The cruise from Hell" I have to say safety - safety from diseases and from exploding hair dryers!

(come on, what else am I supposed to say.....)

For me it's missing the ship (not not getting on but rather when we are at the different ports) and getting sick. I've read enough stories of those who have gotten sick and been kept in thier rooms, don't want to go thru that.

the DH worries if the house /our dog is okay when we're away...his dad has been great about feeding the dog..and checking house etc...but this trip we're leaving the kids at home...[with supervision of coarse...] so I'm sure he'll worrry about them...
I worry about missing the boat...especially this time since we're sans the kids...and will most likely be drinking more... don't want them to find me at Senor Frogs or Carlo's and Charlies under a table somewhere and the boat be long gone...so while I'll be having a cocktail or two...I'm sure I'll be the one to be back on the boat hours before she's to leave...haha...and of course because of the 'drinking' issue...then we'll be worried about the bill....

I worry about the weather because my GF does not like rock and roll on the ship with the waves.

Seriously, my biggest worry is missing the ship as Deb will attest. Once I am on it, however, I take a deep breath and enjoy.

Whether my son is in the kid's club or the in-laws are watching him at home, I worry about him.

Besides missing the ship, I don't worry about much at all... BTW: I love rock-n-rollin around on the seas, makes things interesting.

Give me my ginger ale and Dramamine and I am fine!
