Seasickness is a given. Today’s modern cruise ships are so big that seasickness is almost a thing of the past. There is advanced technology that counters the motions of the sea, and even if you do somehow get it, there are lots of remedies onboard.

I’ll get some kind of crazy virus. With potentially thousands of people and a confined space, you might think that viruses will be a problem. It’s not actually any different from going to the mall or another similarly crowded place, so you don’t have anything to worry about. Of course, wash your hands before eating and all that.

Everything is free/inclusive on a big cruise. Not everything is free on most cruise ships. Passengers paying for the basic low fares will have to pay extra for drinks, be it wine or bottled water. As the cruise ships improve in the entertainment department, you might find yourself paying for things that aren’t part of the basic package. The cruise lines basic fare usually includes the room, board and regular amenities like the swimming pool and entertainment. So, you’ll pretty much have to pay for extra drinks and tips.

I have to sit and eat with strangers and at preordained times. Even though this might still be the case for some cruise ships, more and more cruise lines are adopting a different approach for dinner. These cruise lines give the passengers the choice of sitting at different tables at whatever time they want. You’ll also find that today’s modern cruise ships offer a variety of restaurants to choose from which would make it easier to dine with people you enjoy having food with. Many of the gay cruises in 2009 use modern ships from Norwegian cruise line, Royal Caribbean and the other big ones, so they also follow the open menus… you can even have food delivered to your room, at almost any time, sometimes at no extra charge.

It’ll be crowded like crazy on there. Cruise ships that can accommodate more than 3000 passengers might seem too crowded for you, but in actuality it’s just like most hotels and restaurants you would go to. The cruise ship managers have lot of experience at keeping the crowd under control. You’ll easily find a nice quiet spot if you’d like. Luxurious cruise ships often have lots of room for everyone and roomy common places throughout the ship.

It’s a senior mecca on the ship. While seniors do love taking cruises, there are so many choices nowadays when it comes to cruises, and so much specialization, that everyone can find a cruise that they feel suited to. Gay cruises are usually full of younger guys too.

Cruise ships can go down like the Titanic. Cruise ships are actually very safe, and keep improving with every new generation. There’s practically no risk in cruising at all.

There’s nothing to do on the dang ship. Cruise ships are full of fun activities for everyone. From gourmet restaurants to gyms, lounges, libraries, movie theaters, live shows and more, you’ll find something fun to do. And then there’s everything you can check out at the ports of call and destinations!
