Naw in todays world of sailing on Cruise ships, unlike the days of the Titanic, Cruise lines are manadated by federal law to have enough emergency boats and equipment for ALL passangers and crew. We had to do an emergency drill when we first got on the ship to know where to go incase of an emergency.

But you are correct. I realized once at sea how SMALL the land mass is that we inhabit as compared to the amount of water surrounding us. Of course I always knew it was like 70% water to 30% land mass around the globe, but when you are actually out in the middle of nowhere in the ocean, you truly get that sense of reality.
