I have anxiety disorder and been seeing a Psychiatric Social Worker since June 2004.
I have never been on a cruise, but my parents have been on three or four nights one to some where in Mexico in late Aug or in Sept. of 2009. Now they are going on their second cruise and their first Alaska Victoria one. They are going with members of the Hoy Sun Ning Yung Benevolent Association. The cruise will be like nine days. They leave early Aug 6 and be back home late afternoon on Aug 15.
But when my parents go trips like to China and Hong Kong, I worry about their safety, like will the plane have to land out of a sudden, no matter where it is(middle of sea or a neighborhood) and no time to get to the nearest airport say for example it flight hour number 11. I even worry about safety on land like health(sick during or after returning home and has to do with it), and getting hurt( say a bad road not fix and getting injured well walking). When my parents goes on long trips like to China and Hong Kong and this cruise, I tell myself it is not the time to think of having fun or 100% still do what you would always do when they are not on these kind of trips a little of it maybe, it is the time to hope 100% to a 110% nothing will happen to them at all. I think most people would say that crazy or over reacting, but I even think the people that are going the trip need to think like this hope for their own safety no matter where they are going say like for example France, Japan, Australia, China, Mexico, Russia and so on. I know it no fun doing that at all, but that life for the ones going and not going on the trip or cruise. It all part of human being or I should say born as a human being.
I’m glad there are cell phones so that we can keep in contact, and that there sim cards to buy and switch to when to in other countries like Hong Kong and China. Of course it cost more on the cruise ship no matter whose the provider. What I don't like is when my parents are in Victoria and out at sea. Then I can't keep in contact with them and don't know if anything did or did not happen to them. It be great 110% nothing happen, but one can not tell at all.
Some of the stuff we all have heard about before on the news in the past, what are the Chance it can happen to anyone. I don't want to name then but you all know what they are. But in 2009 and up to now Aug. 5, 2010 there has not been anything on the news about cruies to anywhere say like Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico, Panama and so on. Whether it good or minor bad news that are not consider headline type news on local and network news. Could it be, it the kind of the stuff that don’t make it to the news at all, and we don’t know how good or bad it is, whatever that happen or anything anyone has to say that is good or what the cruise is doing that good.
Anyway what are the chances anyone or two of the things can happen to anyone on a cruise. Not just that, what about other stuff that never get on the news, what the chances of those happening to anyone.
I never worry too much when my parents take bus trip to Reno and fly to Vegas or L.A.. I do worry a little if they are going to the east coast southwest or midwest. I have been to Vegas and Reno twice before as an adult and L.A. after middle school. Glad we still keep in contact even when they are on those trips.
I also found this article on this site what do you all think about it?

My Psychiatric Social Worker, she told me to ge this book, The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition [Paperback] by Edmund J. Bourne. I don't know would this help you or anyone else here, not just on this. but also on daily life anxiety problems. I have not look at the book quite a while now.
