There is nothing quite like the cruise experience. Passengers on board a ship are encouraged to sleep, eat, and be merry. Life is full of stress and pressure. Cruises are the perfect antidote to life’s inevitable maladies. Yet some people are hesitant to take the plunge. They claim that they are prone to seasickness, terrified of the ocean, and that they are not in a good financial position.

Spending a vacation suffering from seasickness is no ones idea of fun. That is why passengers are encouraged to take over-the-counter motion sickness medications such as Dramamine or Bonine. They are available at local drug stores as well as on board at the Pursers station. Passengers should check with a doctor before taking the medicine. It may cause a bit of drowsiness on the first day. Ginger is an herbal alternative for people that are uncomfortable with the medication available. Seasickness is treatable. It is easier to prevent than it is to cure. Plan ahead but don’t let something that is fixable be a deterrent.

While there is no medication that can treat fear, cruise ships are perfectly safe. Cruise ships travel across the ocean every day. Accidents are unfortunate and very rare. Before disembarkation, passengers are provided with instructions pertaining to emergency procedures. There are life vests for every passenger and the crew makes sure that everyone knows how to put them on before leaving port. Unlike on the Titanic, modern cruise ships carry enough lifeboats with tracking equipment to carry all of the passengers as well as the crew. It’s possible to remain inside the ship for the duration of the cruise. Modern cruise ships are so huge that from the inside passengers hardly even notice that they are on the water. Cruise ships are very safe. Every precaution is taken to ensure that passengers return from their trips unharmed. That way cruise lines can make money off repeat business.

The cost of a cruise is more reasonable than most people think. Carnival Cruise lines offers cruises as low as $70 a day per passenger. That includes a room, maid service, food, entertainment, and travel. That’s not a bad deal.
