Thread: To cruise or not to cruise?

Will the sinking of Costa Concordia stop you from cruising?

Had to vote no. IT is a tragic accident but accidents happen no matter where you are. And like flying being on a cruise ship is actually very safe. More apt to get in an accident while in a car.

Absolutely not. Stuff happens.

No way , not even on Costa.

It will have no effect at all regarding my cruising, still safter than driving a car. As for Costa, I would not have sailed them before this so no change in that decision either.

I'm sure the experts will be looking at what happened and use that knowledge to make sure it doesn't happen again.

What's amazing is looking at the the comments posted on various news media threads on Facebook and there are some "that's why you'll never get me on a cruise" ones.

I'm still gonna cruise as if this never happened I would sail with Costa again.

A reported plane crash don't stop me flying, so an incident like this will not stop me from cruising.

No, I no end cruising. Ships of today are wery safe and such accidents are rare. If happen someting it is miracle.
However my plan make cruise on the Costa concordia is gone... This is sure if to know the ship destiny.

I was a bit leery about Costa until friends of ours sailed her last year and gave a glowing account. So I would like to try them one day for a different experience.
