I wasn't worried about taking a cruise when that ship ran aground because of the careless captain. I thought of it as a fluke.

Now with the fire on the Carnival cruise a couple weeks ago, where people were complaining about unsanitary conditions (no working toilets), this worries me.

I, also, read some article on CNN about things that the cruise ship industry won't tell you. I think it said that the kitchens and dining areas aren't inspected enough so outbreak of gastrointestinal illness are rather high.

Found the article. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/13/opinion/walker-cruise-ships/index.html?iref=allsearch

I don't know but I'm definitely starting to change my mind about taking a vacation on a cruise ship.

I've never been on a cruise before so it's still a possibility in the future. Just probably not anytime soon.
