The last thing you want to worry about when planning your cruise is parking. SafeCruiseParking.com, your trusted and reliable Miami cruise parking, will make sure your car is safe and secure while you’re at sea. Unfortunately, a lot of people never go on cruises because they worry about feeling too closed in or not thinking that they’ll have a good time. Today we’re debunking 3 of the most common cruise myths because we want you to have a good time! Don’t let misconceptions scare you away from taking a cruise!

1. “Cruise ships aren’t safe.” While we won’t ever forget the 32 who lost their lives when the Costa Concordia ran aground, statistics show that cruise ships are safer than other forms of transportation. In fact, there were 475 deaths due to commercial airplane crashes worldwide, more than a million deaths from vehicular accidents, and just those 32 deaths due to cruise ships grounding, sinking, or catching fire in 2012.

2. “What if I get sick and need to see a doctor?” To limit pesky germs, such as the Norovirus gastrointestinal bug, which can be shared by an infected passenger, cruise lines are actually quite vigilant about hand sanitation. Plus, most ships have medical clinics; the larger the ship, the more elaborate its facilities.

3. “I won’t like the other passengers.” This is unlikely since cruise ships carry anywhere rom 2000 to 6000 passengers. Odds are you’ll find some like-minded passengers who you enjoy being around. Make sure that you, or your travel agent, research the line’s demographics before you book.
