According to Express UK, many cruise ships do not have a deck 13 because of superstitious reasons. 13 has been known to be an extremely unlucky number. Like ‘Friday, the 13th!’
There are some people out there with what’s called triskaidekaphobia, a phobia relating to the extreme superstition and fear around the number 13.
Andy Harmer, the SVP Membership and Director of CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), told Express UK that a “number of line cruises have chosen to do this, simply in line with the tradition.”
Lauren found that to be a bit odd.
“We’re on a cruise ship, and you’re telling me that superstition comes into play?” she asks in her video.
On a lighter note, some fans of reality shows about ship employees like Below Deck may be tickled to know that the party atmosphere between crew members really does exist.
“The crew works extremely hard,” says Lauren in one of her videos. “But we party even harder to compensate for all the work.”
So it sounds like the fun might just outweigh the creepy!
