Of course, we don’t want to scare you away from that cruise you plan to book. We just want to make help make it a happy trip. Here’s a reassuring excerpt ftom the end of John’s article.
“This information should not be a vacation-breaker. It’s just common-sense advice taken from Main Street and shifted onto the Lido Deck. According to the U.S. Maritime Administration, which keeps track of passengers sailing on cruise ships, 10.6 million people cruised in 2010, so it can’t be all that bad.
