Bin Laden, potential retaliation, and cruising - How concerned are you?

How do you feel about this?

Let's see your votes and comments.

Not at all concerned - too many scantily clad women on a cruise ship - they can't come near it lol.

If I were afraid to leave the house because of terrorists I would have missed many wonderful experiences over the last nearly 10 years. I appreciate the extra security at the ports and rely on them to keep us safe.

We went on a cruise just 3 weeks after 9/11. At that time, we considered cancelling when a friend (who lost her husband when the towers fell) begged us not to cancel saying it would be like saying "Ok - you win."

Can't worry too much about something I can't control. Life continues as normal.

We are not at all concerned since our upcoming cruise is in the Gulf of Mexico. A Mediterranean cruise might be a moderate concern. I have a feeling home grown terrorists over here on land might be our biggest threat.

I agree with the others. I can't live my life worrying about what may happen. Anything can happen anywhere at any time. I'll still cruise

[DebbieandJerry]

We'll still cruise. Never entered my mind.

We, too, cruised 3 weeks after 9-11. Never thought about not cruising. We did write wills "just in case something happened to us while we were flying". Tore those up as soon as we got home.

We concerned, but won't change our plans for the cruise we have booked for the future.
