To cruise or not to cruise, that is the question?

To cruise or not to cruise? that is the question! Most people, who have not cruised before, all tend to have the same misconception. Cruising is too expensive, cruising is for old people, is cruising safe! Well let me tell you that, in the year 2010 this could not be further from the truth. YES, cruising can be expensive, if you go for the 6 star lines and have the best suite onboard. YES, cruising is for old people, but it’s also for young people, couples, families and groups, again it depends on which cruise line you chose, and YES, cruising is very, very safe. Gone are the days of not enough life boats and the privileged getting saved, and IN are plenty of lifeboats, safety drills (only on the first day) and health and safety notices everywhere onboard. The point I’m trying to make is that to disregard cruising, as for the old and too pricy would be like saying, all young people are hoodlums, which is also a load of nonsense. I am not saying stop going on package holiday's, still go away for a week on the beach, I know I will. I’m just saying give it a go. You never know you might just catch the bug!
