I know nothing about cruises, can anyone enlighten me?

10 days at sea seems like an awful long time. My anxiety and claustrophobia would not allow that. What happens with food? Can the ship hold enough food and drink for that many people for 10 full days without stops? What if god forbid you fall ill needing more assistance than the Dr on board can provide? What if there's an emergency at home and you need to get back asap?

I know you can't live your life worrying about "what ifs" but I'm not sure my nerves could take being "trapped" at sea for 10 full days without the ability to disembarking after a day or two.

I'd be wretched with guilt and sheer panic in case anything were to happen to my elderly dog (grandmother/family members) with it no longer being "reasonably accessible" to travel home in emergency if need be. I'd spend those 10 days a right anxious mess!
I’ve done 7 days straight, as we went from Southampton to New York with Cunard, there was food aplenty and even though the ship was not as big as some of the newer ones ( we were on the Queen Mary II) there was plenty for us to do.

We just got off a Celebrity and had to visit medical while we were onboard. I was surprised at the number of tests and procedures the doctor was suggesting that could be done onboard. Because we were docking the next morning my husband opted to wait, so clearly not a huge emergency (although we were in the ER at home the next night … perhaps he should have listened to the ship doctor. 🙄). Before we got to medical I did have visions of needing to be helicoptered out, as someone else mentioned.

With the pandemic, a lot of that got ramped up on ships. Newer ones have som more beds.

M'loves, I'm catching up but DID YOU HEAR HIM CALL HER "BRO" IN THE VLOG??!! HE EXCLUSIVELY CALLS HER BROGAN BUT SLIPPED AND SAID "BRO"... GIBBON ARE YOU AMONG US?!
I just think he's lazy and tries to find a shortened name for everyone. I think he'd shorted father or dad to da or pa or just call everyone Bub.
