my future trip might be impacted. i have a lot invested. i will catch a plane, a train, drive in order to get there. if i get there and find out the ship is not fit for the high seas what recourse do i have? unfortunately, not much. the conditions of carriage, all the fine print on the ticket is ironclad written by lawyers for the cruise companies. travel insurance isn t much of a help. cancel for any reason has to be done 48 hours in advance anyway. there aren t many things you can do to save yourself from something like this or not many things you can do to prevent it. we shouldn t plow it out of proportion. more than 20 million people cruise every year. even when something happens to a ship of 4,000 people and it s terrible for those people it s still .02% of the people cruising. it s an anomaly. so in 30 seconds or less, how do you do your research, find out
