Cruising Is Still The Safest Way To Travel!

In a previous blog I talked about how I thought the Costa tragedy would affect the cruise industry. Well on a recent study by Luxury Cruise News, it turns out that more than two-thirds of cruisers say the recent capsizing of the Concordia has not affected their future cruise plans. What to know more? Then read on...........

When asked if the capsizing had affected future cruise plans, respondent’s replied as below:-

• 34% said they would be more aware of cruise lines’ safety procedures before they book
• 39% said that that this has no effect whatsoever
• And 1% of survey participants cancelled an existing cruise and do not plan to cruise in the future

The safety report also showed past and future Cruisers mostly planned to stick to their cruising plans, while making a renewed commitment to safety procedures in the wake of the accident that claimed at least 17 lives.

So what do you think? Has this changed your views on cruising? Have you cancelled a cruise or will you still continue to cruise in the near future? Whatever happens, statically Cruising is still the safest way to travel, but as before it is still not for everyone. As normal let me know your views!
