Late summer is a great time to take a cruise vacation - the weather is warm, the sunshine is abundant, and the crowds have decreased as kids go back to school. With this type of relaxing vacation, people are often focusing on having a good time and are not thinking so much about the possible dangers inherent in a cruise (or in any vacation, for that matter). Because a cruise ship is a moving hotel, there are any number of things that could make your vacation less than idyllic: engineering malfunctions can cause accidents, shore excursions can present problems, and ship-board illnesses can put a crimp in your trip.
It doesn't take much effort to find that numerous cruise ship accidents occur every year. Just insert that phrase into any search engine and numerous stories pop up:
