lately I have been hearing about cruise ships,you spend your money to take a vacation,and it turn out to be a night mare,I heard 3 different cruise ship had something happen to them,when the passengers had to cancelled their vacations, why don't these cruise ship people, check these cruise ships out before they go on these long trips,where people end up way out in the water stranded, and can't get to their destination, these cruise people are out for money, and don't care about the passengers.

I'm sure there is some type of overhaul checking before it ships out. I don't know why though this keeps happening. It is way to scary to be stranded in the middle of the ocean without a toilet working, hot food, showers, etc.... I went on a cruise back in 1995 and it was great and we had no problems. My daughter has been on three cruises without any type of problems but now she is not willing to take the chance. At least not for awhile. The cruise ships need to get back in shape or they will continue to lose alot of money.

You are right, I would like to take cruise some where, but I think I would wait before I try that now, I hope the cruise ship people, get these problems they are having, straighten out first.

Each and every person has a different way to look at this scenario. Some people risk their life going on a cruise cause they want to have an experience going on a cruise and some people have some critical financial problems so just thinking about the money they're going to get boarding the ship leaving behind everything else. But I strictly agree to the scenario when it comes to the security of the people and the ship. there should be proper maintenance and the quality control in the ships.

Actually, nothing is safe if you look at it that way. You would think airplanes are safe but it is not, not even your average car drive is safe. But i have heard about the cruise ships having problems.

It is sad to hear all these stories about the cruise line that is obviously having the most problems. Many people enjoy taking vacations on a cruise. Now it is becoming even more important to really consider these things carefully.

The people who are in charge of cruise ships just dont seem to care at all for nothing. Terrible experiences, poor customer support and they sink them down all the time, killing dozens or even hundreds of people all the time! No way I'm taking part in one of those things... thats for sure!

i think that they are doing the best they can especially when it comes to safety, but sometimes bad things just happen and although it may seem that somebody is always to be blamed, I still believe that sometimes bad luck just happens. However, I pray that no such thing will happen to the cruise ship one of my good friends work in. I also pray for the safety of every cruise ship as well.
