A cruise ship is a nightmare for three days and without piratesIt seems to be a matter of love it or hate it. Very few people I encounter think cruising is "just okay".
I'm one who likes cruising, but acknowledge it's getting less pleasant. I avoid anything that's crowded or has long lines, and can have a pleasurable experience.

Why wasnt the ship armed? If maritime law does not allow cruise ships to be armed, cruise lines should challenge such laws. If a ship is registered in the USA, for example - why don't they ask protection from the US Coast Guard while traveling in the waters between these pirate ports?

They should have issued a gun to every passenger, and declared it a contest to see who gets the first pirate... free cruise for the winner!
To: BenLurkin
How exciting!!! Pirate Hunting! Do they supply an arsenal or it is BYOW?

Better alternative: ACTION STARBOARD - MOUNT WEAPONS & PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS! Bet theres few FReepers that would sign up for a fully-armed bait cruise... I'm in! Do they provide an arsenal and body armor or is BYOW?

Another in an ever growing list of reasons not to go on a cruise.
Ten days. One would think if they were that afraid, they’d boogie to the nearest safe port instead of bobbing out in the middle of nowhere without so much as a sling shot.

I was on my own boat this morning and we caught a few redfish, a couple specs, a nice bass and a a few catfish.
I love being on the water and can step out of my camp and get right on my boat.
But a cruise ship, stuck on a huge boat with all those annoying people?
No Way.

ACTION STARBOARD - MOUNT WEAPONS & PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDERS!Talk about an exciting adventure. Divvy up the booty for prizes. It sure beats arranging the deck chairs.

The pirates are the least of the problem.
It is the timeshare salesman from Florida that is the most annoying.

They could probably charge for using mini-guns. That would be some serious fun to blast towed targets.

Put several of these on the ship's deck. Offer passengers target practice as an activity, along with the open buffet and water slides. I guarantee many will sign up for this fun and exciting activity

stuck on a huge boat with all those annoying people?Diseased ridden passengers, tained food, funk in the communal potties, mold and other nasties in the a/c and pirates willing to kill you. No, thanks. I'm happy taking a few steps down to our little 7 man boat and tootle around the river for an hour and come back to my own quiet peaceful home.

Issue volunteers crossbows: it’d take awhile for the pirates to realize they were under attack!
