  1. With all the modern technological advances available on ships today, there should be no reason for a cruise ship to be in a storm risking life and limb.

    Worrying about your arrival time is exactly why the Titanic didn't make it on it's maiden voyage.

    What's more important – getting your passengers back home safely or sticking to a timeline?

  2. I don't do cruises, and have zero interest in doing one, but if I was given a full refund for my cruise holiday and then offered a 50% discount on my next cruise, I'd definitely go ahead and book my next for the same time the following year 😂 it's like a glitch that has a potential to keep giving.

    I've been in plenty of big storms in boats and ferries over the years, always have good fun in those situations, although everyone else seems to be puking their gut out 😂
