What Would Happen If Disaster Struck On A Cruise Ship?
Everyone knows about the Titanic. the film accurately recreated the events of 1912 when, after setting sail from Southampton, the HMS Titanic went down in the freezing north atlantic after hitting a sharp iceberg which pierced the hull.
The film brought to light how truly tragic these events were and the emotional trauma that those on board were likely to have faced. Thankfully we can be confident that an event such as this will never be reaped onluxury cruise lines. The thing that lead to the sinking all that time ago was the failure of staff in the crows nest to spot an upcoming icebrg. These days, technology does the work of humans, and while both are required for a tight running ship, technology like GPS is far more adept at indicating unseen dangers.
If such an event were to occur, air based rescue units would be on hand to rescue people immediately. Such opportunities were not available 100 years ago, the means of communication were far cruder and more unreliable which meant it was some time before help could reach the stricken passengers. Granted there would be a lot of people on Regent cruises 2011 but the earlier rescue services were deployed the more chance there would be of saving many more people.
The final reason is really a double edged sword, gloabl warming of course needs to be halted but the gradual warming of the planet does have one benefit - less dangerous icebergs floating in the North Atlantic. So there you are, no need to worry next time you're on luxury cruises if the wosrt does happen and your ship strikes land or catches fire, or breaks down, there is the technology in place to save you from disaster.
