I don’t have a problem that the captain was entertaining the guests, that is part of his job. I also think it is reasonable that once the attackers were trying to board that the passengers who have no duties would have noticed them first.

I do however wonder how its possible this pirate boat got this close without anyone noticing its approach. Radar? passengers watching the horizon? I don’t get it.

LOL, brilliant! The testimonials read spot-on, fantastic!

Oh, I see an opportunity for a retired Navy Seal who wants to conduct a series of passenger trio teams in simultaneous headshot classes. (Passenger lore has it that anyone who muffs his or her shot has to down a shot of tequila before being allowed to finish off the kill.)

Do they still allow skeet shooting on a ship?

A load of 12 guage would certainly discourage them

No, I didn’t write it, I received it in an email. I sent it to everyone in my address book too. :-)

Isn’t this the cruise ship that had the Israeli security on board?

Many cruise ships offer trap shooting off the fantail. Even a dose of #8 shot to the face would make a pirate think twice.

heheh. Yes, but once aboard, those single armed ones are much, much more dangerous than the married ones.

Ba dump bump. You know I waited for a day for a response on that one. Here I thought I was so clever.

That would be a dream cruise, if it were real.
