There's lots of people who will agree with you, so you're definitely not alone!

I was terrified of the idea of going on a cruise, when hubby said we needed to do this for our honeymoon. The notion of not being able to see land anywhere - very anxiety-producing.

I'm glad I relented and decided to challenge my own phobia. As for getting somewhere as fast as you can - with cruising, the ship itself is the main destination. The places the ship sails to are side-trips.

When you're on a ship, you are already in the "somewhere" you wanted to get as fast as you can.
