Cruise Ship Facts That Are Rarely Talked About

There’s a Risk of Pirates Coming Onboard

Sometimes you’ll hear that pirates attacked a cargo ship or something similar, but you don’t often hear of a cruise ship being targeted. Still, it does happen, and the crew is trained for it. A cruise ship was targeted in 2005, and the crew used some kind of acoustic weapon to assault the pirates’ eardrums.

It worked; the attack was foiled, and everyone on board went about enjoying their vacations.However, as a precaution, pretty much every crew member is trained on how to deal with pirates if an attack does occur. But the details of that training are closely guarded.
