A cruise ship is one of the safest places you can take a vacation. Well, that’s what they say anyway. It’s true that there is a whole lot of security around cruise ships and to get on one you have to be properly documented. That’s the good news. The bad news is that a whole lot of people who have that documentation are not your best friends, family or otherwise well-known humans. For some reason, some travelers think that once on a cruise ship they have entered a different dimension. They think its a place where everything is beautiful and happy all the time. Maybe its the cruise line advertising that gives them this idea. It would be nice to believe that but the fact of the matter is that there are probably some people on the ship that, given the opportunity and/or with enough drinks in them, will do you harm in one way or another.
Still, there are steps you can take to lower your risk of being a crime statistic when you travel.
This is not in any way meant to turn you off of cruise vacations, just to open your eyes a little bit to what might happen and some simple things you can do to prevent bad stuff from ruining your vacation. That’s the goal here: have a fabulous cruise, come back with all your fingers and start planning the next one. Got it? Cool.

And proud handsome men salute to them in the answer, as though telling «thanks for a shelter and good-bye!». |
