Thread: Are recent tragedies causing you to rethink your cruise plans?

I refused to give in to the chaos and the terrorists. After the initial shock, my DH agreed. We went to London anyway...despite the fear of terrorism. We were more vigilant as travelled throughout London, but we used the Tube exclusively and never had a problem...

Such incidences ARE travesties, but it's not enough to stop me from travelling altogether.

I was in London the day of the bombings, actually very close to the station they bombed, and we just kept moving on! I am still here today, so you just gotta keep going!

No way. I would, however, think twice about a particular cruise line if they were prone to accidents or disasters.
