I do believe the majority of the "hotel" staff on cruise ships are Indonesian, probably Muslim. So the problem may not be simply repelling pirates but keeping the on board sympathizers from joining in. This is why I will not book another cruise until I'm assured the majority of the staff is from pro-American countries. I'd like to have the staff be American but for some reason the only thing Americans do on cruise ships now days is entertain.

You are making a good point. The terrorists attacking the ship may have counted on inside help to keep the passengers and rest of the crew subdued.
