So, should you cancel your cruise and hide in a bunker? Nope. The ocean is vast, but cruise ships are safer than your couch (which might collapse if you sit too hard). The next time you’re standing on the Lido Deck, watching the stars, remember: you are statistically more likely to win a free drink at bingo than to go overboard.
Go ahead—book that trip. Eat the shrimp cocktail. Dance like nobody’s watching (except the 200 security cameras). And if your friend tries to scare you with missing-person stats, just hand them the safety pamphlet and say, “Keep my chair warm at the buffet.” The only thing that should go missing on your cruise? Your worries. And maybe your aunt’s cardigan. Smooth sailing, friend.
