how safe is it really?

I always really wanted to go on a cruise, but honestly I'm not that great of a swimmer and after watching all these movies with huge ships sinking, I'm a little hesitant to actually go on one. What are the chances that the one cruise I go on will turn into one huge tragedy? With my luck, its practically guaranteed!

I'd assume that the chances of it happening are pretty slim, but I have that same kind of fear about planes.

I'm so paranoid that I've actually made videos of myself telling my family I love them before leaving for the airport. The climate of travel lately makes it even more nerve wracking.

Boats don't scare me quite as much but I worry about just getting bored on a cruise in general. I'm sure they have lots of things to do, but I just can't imagine myself sitting on a boat for days at a time with nothing to do but whatever is on the ship.
