Statistically, it's probably pretty safe given the overall number of passengers and uneventful voyages. Like air travel, which I have to do all the time for work.

Titanic is definitely #1 on the list, but the other 9 listed here ain't that encouraging, and again, nothing for which I'll risk my personal participation, particularly after watching their SARS-Cov2 muddled response. Hell, they probably won't even let me aboard, as an unvaxxed citizen. Definitely couldn't go ashore in some of the ports they visit.

Regarding your Top 10 "worst cruise ship disasters", once we get past the "Titanic" in 1912 and the "SS Eastland" in 1915 (which happened when ship was still docked), the death toll got thin pretty quickly.

The next 8 "disasters" had a cumulative death toll of three. One drunk fell overboard, one perished in an on-board fire and one poor young girl fell overboard when her grandfather perched her on the cabin window ledge, not realizing the window was open.

So out of the three, only one death could be blamed on the cruise ship company itself.

That's a pretty darn good safety record for cruise ships post 1915.
