If I ever win a cruise in the Indian Ocean, I’ll pass on it.

Not trying to encourage violence or anything but seeing as I doubt you can carry a weapon on a cruise ship.....A can of hairspray and a lighter makes a handy blowtorch....LOL

Crew was armed?

I'd say let the passengers try skeet shooting with slugs off the ship's stern.

Boil up some of the leftover cooking oil and dump it on them.

A variation on the old gag: First prize, an Indian Ocean cruise; second prize, two Indian Ocean cruises; etc.

Why those villainous passengers should have waited for the "proper authorities", not endangering themselves and others by taking matters into their own hands. The international waters are no place for such hooliganism... UN Press Release from the Office of Maritime Asset Reallocation.

Molotov cocktails would certainly liven up things on the average pirate ship. Pretty easy to make.

It was unimaginable, virtually impossible even, that flip-flop wearing pirates could attack them here.

I think he meant "inconceivable."

"The pirates appear to feel downright incited by the war ships and the efforts being made against them,"

This attitude represents the purely Moslem component of this thing and illustrates why it is not enough to "fend off" pirates or ever kill them on their boats. Their ports and their towns should be destroyed.It has to be clear that Allah does not will for piracy to be profitable in loot or in dead infidels.

Are you kidding? Do you know how much they charge for drinks on those ships?
