curejunkie,Please, please, please don't let this experience scare you away from cruising altogether! I promise you that you were incredibly unlucky to have had this happen. I'm about to go on my 10th cruise, and I've never had any mishaps (knock on wood). Once we had to divert to an unscheduled stop to drop off a sick passenger, but it didn't disrupt our itinerary.I agree with mikesteg that you have a level head and seem to have a good attitude - it seems that you really tried to make the best of a bad situation....good for you.Give cruising another try when you can...choose a newer ship (although that doesn't necessary guarantee it won't "break down") and a time to cruise when the kiddies are in school. :grin
