Don’t have anything against them, not my thing, but the math is, sooner or later one of these gigantic things is going to sink, and not just off shore like in Italy, but truly sink... and what’s that going to look like?
Some of the biggest ones have about 10,000 people onboard between customers and staff...
I have (another) dumb question: Would something like what happened to the USS Cole be enough to capsize her?
It is inevitable that a large ship will sink again one day, but the odds that any one ship on any cruise will sink or suffer a mishap are very, very small. Ships have lifeboats, and much, much improved navigation. As long as you don’t fall overboard, or get killed in fight, cruises are extremely safe.
“Some of the biggest ones have about 10,000 people onboard”
10,000 other people on a ship is not my idea of a vacation.
Different strokes for different folks.
Cruise ships = jail with a chance of drowning
