Will cruise ships be next?

I think the cruise ship have Water Cannon and some armed security if there is a casino on board.
 
Maybe they can grease the sides, when the Pirates try to climb up they will slip and fall into teh ocean.
 
Piracy has been going on for hundreds of years. I wouldn't get too flustered about it, even if they did have the temerity to try it on with an American ship. As I said in the other thread, you can always nuke Somalia if they try it again.

This is true. In fact there was still piracy going on in the South China Sea and off Indonesia even before 9/11.


I wanna know what JD/LW would do?
Would JD pay a hefty ransom if they held his wife? Or vice versa?:p

A cruise ship was attached by pirates a few years ago. The ship had nothing to protect itself with, all the Captain could do was out run them. The pirates shot at the ship and everything.

LMAO. So, are you, er, connected or is it rude to ask? Perhaps some of your relatives could (allegedly) make them an offer they can't refuse. :poke:

I suspect that the best way to stop pirates attacking a Cruise Ship would be to have the loudspeakers blast out some band like Napalm Death at 1,000 decibels. That'd learn 'em!
 
They should just hire several ninjas.

As everyone knows, the ninja is that natural enemy of the pirate.

Had one uncle involved....but he was disconnected from the family and they were disconnected with him. We were forbidden, even as adults, to contact him or be killed. :p

Still, he managed to visit his two younger sons on the sly. The older two wanted nothing to do with him. I got in trouble in college for visiting him once to ask for something. There were all these guns on the coffee table and he tried to get me into bed with him. Whatta pig! He truly was no good.

But my immediate family was from the better off legitimate merchant class.
My grandfather owned a pasta factory believe it or not.

There's a village in Sicily where the whole town has my last name...and one cousin owns the largest restaurant there. But I was forbidden to visit them because as my Mom said: "They'll steal the gold fillings out of your teeth." I'd say " But Ma, I don't have any gold fillings. I have mercury amalgam."

Regardless, my aunt in Abington still writes to them. I've seen some of them at some family reunions here in America but they are not in that criminal class.
 
Most cruise ships don't go into the waters the pirates operate in.
