I think it would be kinda fun to be in a mega-behemoth cruise ship attacked by "pirates" in a fleaboat.It is kinda difficult to imagine how -- exactly -- they planned to board ship.

It is kinda difficult to imagine how -- exactly -- they planned to board ship. They would have to stop the ship. Shooting it in the side like they did won't work.
If they'd used their RPG's to damage the propulsion area it might have worked.
Then threats with their small arms could force a boarding party.

Reminds me of the Eastwood flick "Bronco Billy." He was a sideshow cowboy, and decided to rob a train. Then he found out horses can't catch modern trains.

"It is kinda difficult to imagine how -- exactly -- they planned to board ship."
My question exactly. Maybe they had Errol Flynn with them.

It is kinda difficult to imagine how -- exactly -- they planned to board ship. I was wondering the same thing. No openings or ladders of any kind when at sea and it's a long way up the side of the ship.
