Cindy, have you heard of any chantter about cruise ships as targets?
This incident at the Port of Miami makes me suspect these guys were trying to seak on a cruise ship to wreak havoc.
Since they usually work in teams of 5 or 6, where are the others?
That Freedom of the Seas holds about 3000 passengers, plus crew. To sink it would be, for a terrorist, as big a hit as the Trade Towers. Plus the economic harm done to the billion-dollar cruise ship and travel industries.
"Cindy, have you heard of any chantter about cruise ships as targets?"
OPINION: Large gatherings/crowds seem to be an ongoing interest by terrorists.

I have not read anything online recently about a specific threat to a cruise ship.
